[expert] terminal problem with period char
Wierd problem I'm having just recently. After my box has been up for a couple of days the period char won't appear when I type it in a terminal. Using rxvt but the same happens in xterm or aterm. Restarting Xserver fixes the problem, but of course I'd prefer not to have to do that. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- Steve - Toronto ICQ 35454764 /~\ 'If you're not a rebel when you're 20 you've got no heart; if \ / you're not establishment when you're 30 you've got no brain.

Re: [expert] terminal problem with period char
Hit the key twice and it will appear! Also other puctuation may happen similarly. Fix is to select your language and keyboard within KDE. In my case I use UK English and US int kb (am in Oz) and mdk 7.2 and 8.0 required this. Not up to that stage with my new 8.1 system so dont know if its been fixed yet. Appears to be a locale thingy BillK On Thu, 2001-10-18 at 21:33, Steve wrote: Wierd problem I'm having just recently.

It appears that I've installed something from cooker that is causing the problem. The terms I've had up before the install[s] don't have the problem - new terms do however. Something is broken from cooker, which isn't a surprise. g Now if I could just remember the exact packages I installed 3 days ago... Anyone have an idea? Fonts? My locale is setup correctly and I only have the problem in terminals. Thanks for the suggestion however Bill. On Thu, 2001-10-18 at 21:33, Steve wrote: Wierd problem I'm having just recently.
