[Ltsp-discuss] keyboard configuration issue

[Lars Madsen]

I'm having some problems getting xkb compose key to work with our new terminal setup.

Setup:

terminal running Ubuntu 12.04
app server running 14.04

I'm currently testing compose key, for testing I'm just using


setxkbmap -option compose:lctrl

then

left_ctrl a e

should give me an æ (danish vowel) in an xterm

this works fine on a terminal running as a VM. But on a physical terminal, nothing happens. it just prints

ae

If I use xev to debug, left ctrl is acting as Multi_key, but on the phystical terminal I can also see that

left ctrl a e

gives some 'unknown' char (a dimond shape with a ? in it), so I'm guessing there is a difference in the gfx when comparing the VM based terminal, and the physical test terminal

Does anyone have any ideas as to debug/fix this further?

oops, one clearification

setxkbmap does not work on a terminal at all!

(I had logged into the app server directly)

So the probloem presumably is the fact that I'm using a 12.04 installation/xserver as the base for the terminal.

Could this be a font issue, or some otherthing?

ideas?

For future reference. It seemed to be a missing locale/language setting
