OK, changing the language to US English gave an UTF-8 locale which fixed the problems with terminals.
Sure the C locale is not very fitting for writing characters that are outside of ASCII. I could have figured out if I looked. But if Gnome can warn about such trivial things like missing icons (or more serious things like failure to load keymap) there is always room for more warnings. How should I figure out that US English is an UTF-8 locale is a mystery. I could just try a few. Or try to find out how gdm maps the pretty names to locale names. But that is not the sort of thing a GUI user is supposed to do. The gnome dictionary applet is still broken. The default scim configuration is still different from other distributions and harder to use. The good thing is that dead keys work when scim is not enabled (hidden). In some setups they only work when scim is enabled and the English/keyboard method is selected. -- weird scim setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
