I have an antix installation which has this problem, when I'm trying to use Alt Gr + 2, the terminal just outputs the number 2, leaving me without the @ special character. This happens the same to the other special characters requiring Alt Gr or Ctl Alt. When I do a dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and restart the computer, I'm able to get the special characters, but randomly the problem gets back. With setupcon I can get it back but that's a little bit weird because when I power off or reboot the machine several times again the problem comes back. Another strange thing is that when I open the X server on the machine the keyboard is able to output the special characters without any configuration. So this looks like a terminal problem, could somebody give me some help please ? Antix is based on Debian so I can try to use some solution related to debian. Regards.

  • I am not understanding your issue. (1) Shouldn't @ be produced by Shift-2 (not AltGr-2 nor Ctl-Alt-2) ? (2) Do you have the same problem in some other terminal, like UXterm, or Gnome-terminal, or some other you can try ? –  Jun 30 '20 at 23:10

    This question will benefit from the output of systemctl status console-setup.service keyboard-setup.service in the question, as well as the contents of /etc/default/keyboard. – JdeBP Jul 01 '20 at 02:01
  • @Issac that's because Im using a Spanish keyboard. – Adrián Jul 01 '20 at 07:43
  • @JdeP allright thanks I will try to do that. – Adrián Jul 01 '20 at 07:45
  • @Adrián Bueno, haberlo dicho antes, No?. Por cierto, me llamo Isaac, no eso que pusiste. Gracias. Which keyboard have you installed (cat /etc/default/keyboard)? –  Jul 02 '20 at 03:51
  • @Isaac perdona amigo es que estaba con el móvil. Me pone lo siguiente : XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="es" XKBVARIANT="winkeys" XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" BACKSPACE="guess" – Adrián Jul 02 '20 at 11:03
  • @JdeBP I dont have the systemctl command, should I install it? – Adrián Jul 02 '20 at 11:10
  • Adrián No, AntiX is made to avoid the use of systemd. Do not install it!!! It will (most probably) break your system. @JdeBP Is simply wrong. –  Jul 02 '20 at 11:24
  • @Adrián Are you talking about a terminal that you start on X, like in this image https://www.bitblokes.de/wp-content/gallery/antix-m12/antix-x12-test-2-10-terminal.jpg –  Jul 02 '20 at 12:19
  • @Adrián Or are you talking about the consoles that are accessed with CTRL-ALT-F1 to CTRL-ALT-F6 ? Because the xkb configuration has nothing to do with such consoles. –  Jul 02 '20 at 12:20
  • You need to tell answerers what parts of the Debian mechanism for this are present and whether they are working. That's the current Debian way to obtain the requisite information. Substitute your Debian derivative's way of providing the status of these services as appropriate. Not having these services is a datum, too. Ironically, Isaac clearly hasn't remembered how Debian does this. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/479720/5132 – JdeBP Jul 02 '20 at 19:46
  • @Adrián Lograste resolver? –  Jul 07 '20 at 03:36
  • @JdeBP (1)Are you claiming that there are console keyboard services in AntiX (2) Are you claiming that XKB is required to use loadkeys ?. –  Jul 07 '20 at 04:06
