I see the phenomena in several recent installs of debian stable and 1
of testing.
In emacs -nw M-x, instead of giving the familiar `M-x' prompt it
inserts a tiny char in the buffer that looks something like a tiny
planet with with a ring around on forward leaning angle.
In fact M+<many-keys> many letters and other char create letters with
various accents or the like:
M-x = ø
M-a = á
M-q = ñ
Foreign (to an english speaker) language letters with accents and
etc.
Any one know what causes this?
Wrong keyboard settings? ... I did run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
But just got the prompt back after a moment or two...
I did run dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
And:
/etc/default/keyboard shows
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="pc104"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
BACKSPACE="guess"
Restarted keyboard service but nothing changed.
echo $LANG shows:
en_US.UTF-8
echo $LC_COLLATE is just blank
It must be some kind of env setting, but what and how to fix?
