Key d doesn`t work in xterm, can`t be copied
On my current user i cant enter or copy letter d in all terminal programs.
On newly created user keys left,right,up output [[A [[D etc.
Other programs work ok.
Shift D works.
d after Insert key works.
Not sure but this could happen after some wrong configurations and
xrdb -merge .Xresources
Is there a way to reconfigure reset to default?

Re: Messed with xterm - how to restore default config?
Copy your new user's good .Xresources file over the funky one in your own home folder? Rename the funky one if there's anything you want to save in it.

Re: Messed with xterm - how to restore default config?
Which shell is the newly created user employing?vinterneti wrote:On newly created user keys left,right,up output [[A [[D etc.
Code: Select all
echo $0
Code: Select all
echo $TERM

mv ~/.Xresources{,.bad}
Once you've moved it you can create a new ~/.Xresources and copy the configuration back one line at a time to find the bad setting.
Or post the configuration here so that we don't have to guess...

current_user
echo $0
new_user
echo $0
current_user(new)
echo $TERM
I removed .Xresources after this problem.
The aim was to disable terminal bell and resize fonts.
This is almost fresh install. If there is no easy solution I`m going to reinstall it.
I was curious to fix it but don't want to destruct community.
If easy fix don`t show up going to mark it as [SOLVED] shortly.
echo $0
Code: Select all
bash
echo $0
Code: Select all
sh
echo $TERM
Code: Select all
xterm

Re: Messed with xterm - how to restore default config?
Well there's your problem then — the new user has dash as the default interactive shell.vinterneti wrote:new_user
echo $0Code: Select all
sh
Fix that for the new user with
Code: Select all
chsh -s /bin/bash
Code: Select all
grep DSHELL /etc/adduser.conf
Please don't mark unsolved threads as [SOLVED], it's very frustrating for people trying to find an answer for their problem and it ruins SEO for the boards.vinterneti wrote:If easy fix don`t show up going to mark it as [SOLVED] shortly

Now new_user has working keys left right, but d key doesnt work.
And d symbol is lost during copy.
Re: Key d doesn`t work in xterm, can`t be copied
What keyboard layout is in use? Perhaps some layouts may map the d key to some other ASCII character.
Take my advice, I'm not using it.
