 |
|
I've emerged the new beta version of KDE 3.1, and there are a few things that i can't fix, but are quite annoying!
- Some charecters on my keyboard i need to press twice in a row to get that charecter (such as " or ' or ~).
- When i start up a Konsole, i get a crappy bash prompt with none of my customised alias's etc...

Which means its not reading ANY of my bash Init files (like .bashrc or .bash_profile, or indeed /etc/profile).
And an issue detailed here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=15992 . In KDE3.0.3, using this colourscheme, I had no problems!
If you can help with any/all of these problems i would greatly appreciate it. |

Try adding to your ~/.Xdefaults |

I suspect that the reason for having to press some keys twice in order for the character toappear is due to the LANG environement variable. The keys in question are most likely dead-keys, i.e. they are used for accents. Pressing ~ + n will yield the spanish n with tilde above.
Try to remove LANG from your environment prior to starting KDE.
The next question is how do you start KDE?
From KDM or XDM or by executing startx?
If from KDM, you should see something like the following when you do a ps-ef:
ebrostig 13640 13613 0 13:53 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.1_beta1
ebrostig 13707 13640 0 13:53 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh --login /usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde
Unless you see the --login, it is not setting the environment as is normal during a regular console login.

Thanks for your help ebrostig.
When i issue a PS command:
| Code: | chris 5076 0.0 0.2 2140 324 ? S 10:11 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.1_beta1
chris 5119 0.0 0.2 2156 324 ? S 10:11 0:00 /bin/sh --login /usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde |
and when i issue an echo command:
| Code: |
sh-2.05a$ echo $LANG
sh-2.05a$ unset $LANG
sh-2.05a$ echo $LANG
sh-2.05a$ |
?? You were right about the deadkeys. I press ~ then n and it makes ñ. I just dont know how to fix it! |
