Anyone Run into This Problem?

#1 Post by BruisedQuasar » Wed Jul 02, 2008 3:18 pm

For some reason, I cannot get '=' symbol to print in the command line in Ubuntu...

Instead, I get one line, but never two. I suspect that it may be the language setting. I tried a different one but same thing. Press equals sign key and I get one line.

Should the equal sign show on the terminal command line?

It should show. If you're running a terminal in X, try a text-mode console. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a console session and see what happens. Alt-F7 (or Ctrl-Alt-F7) to get back to the GUI.

whizkid is correct, = is a character that I use without a problem.

Your linux loader (grub or lilo) should set the language. Maybe a line like:

append=" vt.default_utf8=0"

I think this sets the default language for your shell commands.
