Bug#496929: locales: The default locale only applies on one among the six consoles
Package: locales
Version: 2.7-13
Severity: normal
Hi,
I don't know if it's a bug but I dont find any answer on google, forums,
irc. So maybe it's a real problem not documented or a bug for 64bits
(not often used). I hope the bug isn't on bash or readline, if it is,
sorry I didn't know.
By default I use fr_FR@euro. On tty1, I can type accents and read them.
On X too. But on tty2, 3, 4, 5, 6, I can't type accents; they're only
readable. If I run X on tty2, gedit saves everything in utf8 and I've to
select iso-8859-15 by hand. Probably it's utf8 the locale by default.
I get this for any user (former or new), although printenv displays
fr_FR@euro..
Thanks for your ideas.
JP
