http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019255 Bug ID: 1019255 Summary: wrong mapping of control keys (including backspace or tab) on text console (VT) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: mkubecek@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Note: the symptoms are very much like (maybe even exactly the same as) those of bsc#904214 reported some time ago on 13.2. I also tried the trick from bug 904214 comment 8 and it works. On current Tumbleweed, most control keys, including backspace or tab, are processed incorrectly on text console (VT), resulting in inserting a character which cannot be displayed; echoing it through 'od -t x1' shows 'ef 80 80' which should be U+FOOO in UTF-8. Few keys work correctly (e.g. arrows or "Delete") but most seem to be mapped to this character, making work on VTs unbearable. The issue doesn't seem to depend on localization, I'm not using any national keyboard map (selected "English (US)" on install) and the issue affects both root (LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8) and regular user (LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8, no LC_* set). First time I noticed this was around half December but it's possible it has been broken earlier. The issue persists after updating everything to latest updates this morning (2017-01-11). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
