[opensuse] Fwd: remote logins have strange keyboard setting... mostly latin, but not sure what? after fact update
Sending this here too, in case anyone has a clue about odd keyboard issues... I upgraded and rebooted my server this yesterday and have some oddness when I login to it remotely now -- at least until I type "reset". The most noticeable feature is some keys on my keyboard are remapped to some foreign keys...but NOT that many. Specifically, on the left, tilda and at sign ~@ => ߧ On the left side it's the brack/brace /backslash and vertical bar -> []\ => ÄÜÖ {}| => äüö ---- My keyboard/terminal is still set to a 'linux' terminal, and locale settings look like: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= ---- If I type "reset", the terminal goes back to "normal". If I start an X11 app like gvim from the terminal BEFORE I reset it, the X11 app catches the weird characters as well. But if I type 'reset' (ncurses-utils-5.9 in /usr/bin/), it resets the term and then if I launch an X util, it's "normal". Anyone have an idea about what might be going on? Nothing in the environment before/after seems strange (this is how a pre-reset v. post reset looks from diff: GPG_TTY=/dev/ttyp2 ö GPG_TTY=/dev/ttyp1 HISTFILE=/home/law/.histIshtar_ttyp2 ö HISTFILE=/home/law/.histIshtar_ttyp1 PIPESTATUS=(Ä0Ü="0" Ä1Ü="0") ö PIPESTATUS=(Ä0Ü="0" Ä1Ü="0" Ä2Ü="0") PPID=79754 ö PPID=78347 SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-2FyrkLSyYB/age ö SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-lwihqyNyKw/age SSH_CLIENT='192.168.4.12 49606 22' ö SSH_CLIENT='192.168.4.12 49605 22' SSH_CONNECTION='192.168.4.12 49606 19 ö SSH_CONNECTION='192.168.4.12 49605 19 SSH_TTY=/dev/ttyp2 ö SSH_TTY=/dev/ttyp1 TTY=/dev/ttyp2 ö TTY=/dev/ttyp1 TTY_NAME=ttyp2 ö TTY_NAME=ttyp1 tty=/dev/ttyp2 ö tty=/dev/ttyp1 Even though the chars are displaying 'funny', they still seem to have their normal meaning and function. If I use a windows dumb term to ssh in, I don't see the problem, but it doesn't know how to switch charsets or do whatever "securecrt" or xterm is doing... I tried it from a different computer... same thing. it's definitely an update on the server that is causing this... its very weird. but fortunately not that difficult to get around...

---- Fortunately, got partly to the root of this. my /dev/pts wasn't mounted (the directory didn't exist), so instead my system came up with /dev/ttyp1 ... They have a weird setting or maybe aren't being initialized properly. Creating the /dev/pts and mounting "rehid" the oddity with the /dev/ttyps1,2,3...etc coming up in an odd state.. Thanks to Jan Englehardt for catching the older BSD terminal names... and wondering I used those... I didn't know I was, really... I mean it didn't stick out at me. Then I found out from history files that it was an oddity. (all my bash shell history files start with .hist...pts/ the new ones didn't. Not sure how the dir got deleted (or not created)... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
