Hi,
I'm new to the Arch forum (but not quite to the distro). I've been dual booting to Arch on my work laptop (Dell Inspiron 3330) for the last year, and for a few month now I have this issue:
- only alphanumeric keys, directional arrows and return key work in fullscreen terminals
=> backslash, tab, ctrl + [any key] , etc. only display a space
=> this means I can't edit commands, auto-completion doesn't work, and I can't enter any escape sequences
- all keys work fine in X (I'm using the KDE environment), including in virtual terminals, which is why I didn't try too hard to solve this
- I have no keyboard related errors in journalctl
When testing backslash with showkey, I got this:
- scancode 0e 8e
- keycode 14 (seems fine)
- symbol/ascii : ef 80 80 (seems to resolve to 3 characters ??)
- my locale is en_US.UTF-8 (but I set some locale variables such as dates or paper type to fr_FR.UTF-8)
- my keymap is set to fr, but loadkeys us doesn't affect this behaviour
Does anyone have any idea how to further investigate / solve this issue ?
My graphical environment is broken since a recent upgrade, and it is **very** frustrating to debug it without completion and backslash... In fact, my system is practically unusable :\
Any help appreciated !
Cheers
