Ubuntu and LFS-7.4 had this set: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 My old LFS-6.3 has LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 >> Using 'showkey' [ in a tty ], find the values for the Backspace and >> Del keys - on a regular 102-key keyboard mine are 14 and 111 - then >> use 'dumpkeys | less' to find what is output for those keys - mine >> are 'Delete' and 'Remove' : for no-latin1 the latter is corrected in >> the patch. I _think_ ubuntu has versions of both those commands >> (from console-tools), so you could compare them. On all systems showkey output is: BS - keycode 14 and DEL -keycode 111 dumpkeys has 'Delete' and 'Remove' > Also, check what you have in /etc/inputrc [ LFS section 7.14 ], content is exactly as in the book After deeper investigation I got really confused.... BS/DEL problem exists in en_US layout and appearing while I'm deleting SPACE symbol with BS within a string like "kkkkk kkkk". I've changed LANG to LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 and UNICODE=0 and problem is still there, however on old LFS-6.3 everything works fine with LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 and even with "loadkeys no-latin1". Problem looks like described in BLFS Chapter 2. Important Information, Locale Related Issues: "The Program Breaks Multibyte Characters or Doesn't Count Character Cells Correctly" Since issue is present even with US keyboard layout, I wonder if ALFS build did something funny during build (or didn't do something right). I've tried to rebuild kbd with a patch, but didn't help. If I log via ssh everyhting looks ok. Is it because I use other pc facilities in this case? /alexey -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
