(e.g. Alt-F1 through Alt-F6) If you mean the actual virtual terminals on the system, (e.g. Alt-F2), then I've been having the same problem. If you look back a few days in the list I had a question about UTF-8 support. I'm able to get all of the characters just fine in gnome-terminal, but when I go to a console, the characters don't show up. > >dumpkeys (in xterm) > Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console > This is because dumpkeys doesn't work in a graphical shell AFAIK. I have the same problem. I thought there was a way to specify the tty with a command line option, but I just checked and I don't see one. > > perl -pe'' > perl: warning: Setting locale failed. > perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: > LANGUAGE = "swedish", > LC_ALL = (unset), > LANG = "sv_SE.UTF-8" > are supported and installed on your system. You should set LC_ALL to something. Unfortunately, locales doesn't do it for you. I just added it to my .bashrc. And are you sure that LANGUAGE is correct? I had thought that it was LANG. Either way, I believe it should be set to the language code, not the name of the language. So, in your case, sv_SE. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
