Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.200 Severity: important Could be that the compose file at /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose should include the coding for the normal engineering greek symbols via the compose-key? (This is supposed to be the source of the 'compose' key codings (The compose key is labeled <Multi_key> to help confuse people))
This at one time we could get these symbols with g or G -- <compose_key> <g> <p> would get us π (PI). There are all sorts of rare charactors in the file - but the Greek letters - like π (PI) - are not assigned a compose key sequence .. instead by a <dead_greek> key. If I run xmodmap -pke |grep -i dead_ I see there isn't a greek dead-key assigned. This rather normal set up should allow one to type Greek symbols 'out of the box'. The file at /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose belongs to libx11-data - but I don't see that it is open? -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages keyboard-configuration depends on: ii debconf 1.5.71 ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.07-3+b4 keyboard-configuration recommends no packages. keyboard-configuration suggests no packages.
