You can find out the charset with $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= I'm not sure how to find out the keymap setting (other than knowing what may have been selected during the installation). > > > If anyone knows the correct solution, instead of running the loadkeys > > command from .bashrc > > I used your tip.

It's odd that it doesn't seem to be a common problem since I've never seen anyone complain about it not working (until I read your post). <shrug> Maybe a bug *should* be filed against console-common after all, since using 'loadkeys' to load the keymap resolves the problem for two of us in completely different parts of the world. I wonder why no one else seems to experience this. It occurs on a couple-day old installation of Debian Sid with the following versions of console-(data|common) installed: ii console-common 0.7.55 Basic infrastructure for text console configuration ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-52 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fallback tables for console-tools (I'd like to try to get input from others about this before I file a bug against "console-common" which includes the file /etc/init.d/keymap.sh). > Thanks a lot, You're quite welcome. :)
