I am now running the released version from a CD - I downloaded the ISO this evening.
ubuntu@ubuntu:/etc$ cat lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" ubuntu@ubuntu:/etc$ uname -a Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 22:19:09 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux ubuntu@ubuntu:/etc$ date Fri Apr 27 06:08:01 UTC 2012 The same thing is still happening - first I add the Latin Americ (ES) layout to the default US (EN) layout - that works fine in Gnome-Terminal, but If I add the Maori (mi) layout, AltGr combinations in the ES layout turn into error characters. When I type the top QWERTY line in using the ES layout, with the AltGr key held down, I see @ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ But if I type the same characters, with the AltGr key depressed, in the shell (using Gnome-terminal) I see instead the characters ������������� As described in the bug description. If I select the Maori layout in gedit, and type the vowels with AltGr depressed, I see the vowels with macrons āēīōūĀĒĪŌŪ but if I do that in Gnome terminal, I see ���������� So it is clear that Gnome-terminal is the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980134 Title: AltGr key doesn't work properly in gnome-terminal when Maori is in the keyboard selection list. Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am running the 12.04 beta, 2012-04-12 daily, i386, from a DVD. I have 3 different keyboard layouts loaded in the keyboard layout selector: US, ES (LATAM), and Maori. With ES selected, and the AltGr key depressed, my top QWERTY row should look like this @ł€¶ŧ←↓→øþ But if I do this in the gnome-terminal, I get ������������� If I then remove Maori from the list, and continue with the ES (LATAM) layout, I get the proper characters on the screen. See bug #929054 for an earlier report on the xfce4-terminal in Xubuntu 12.04 beta, on the same amd64 machine. This does not happen with the KDE terminal program in Kubuntu 12.04 beta. Also it does not happen in Debian 6 with a similar combination of keyboard layouts, including Maori. Debian has a somewhat different selection of layouts available, but it does have the ones I tested on this machine. Also it has a somewhat older version of gnome-terminal. I filed this separate bug report to emphasise that this happens with gnome-terminal, and still happens as of today's build, with no problems arising from multiple updates to the installation on this computer.
