Hmm, since you are from brazil you might not be used a key layout 100% identical to a North American keyboard. You may have fallen victim to Yann Dirson's 100%-bug-free console-data package. Install the kbd package, and from the console (not X), use the showkey command to determine what scan code is being generated by the E key. If none, you either have a hardware problem or a kernel problem. Otherwise, your console keymap is messed up and you should file a bug against the console-data package. Don't feel bad; Yann Dirson has the default keymap set to some French thing -- this affects every Debian user in the world, and most of the world isn't France. I guess some people take the figurative expression lingua franca too literally. :) -- G.

Bash, Keys, Potato
Hello, I am running the lastest potato version and since sometime ago my key E (yeah, E upcase) stopped working. But only in bash. If I run csh or ksh, it works. What happens is the following, I type and I dont get the key displayed. It works as a dead key, waiting for any other key. When I do type other key, it beeps and I get no output on screen. I reinstalled bash, libncurses5, libc6 and already trying changing my keymap, but I wasn't sucessful. I am getting crazy. PS: Please, send a copy of the answer to me because I am not a subscriber of debian lists.
