pi-rat Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Hello! I am just trying to set up Armbian Buster on my Banana Pi and I am experiencing a strange problem with the keyboard settings: I choose de-UTF8 for system wide locale and system wide language, I set the keyboard to German, but still I couldn't type umlaute (öäü). If I typed "ä", nothing happens. If I typed "ü", it retrieved commands from the bash history, that I typed in earlier. If I typed ö", the input line displayed (arg: 6) After long search I finally found a kind of solution: if I uncomment this line in /etc/inputrc: # set convert-meta off I can type "öäü", but now I also can delete as many characters from the prompt as I typed in, when I press BACKSPACE. For example the normal prompt says root@bananapi:~# Next I type "äöü" root@bananapi:~#öäü Now, when I type BACKSPACE 5 times, the prompt looks like this: root@bananapi: If I type "öäü" again, and press BACKSPACE 3 times, the line looks like this: root@banana This is funny, but at least the "umlaute" are working now. 1
frauhottelmann Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 You should probably set your locales manualy. At least it's what I had to so, because dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration is buggy Check the output of locale and set everything to de_DE.UTF-8: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Locales_unter_Ubuntu_konfigurieren It should then work without # set convert-meta off
