    ssh session shift keys

    Hi all,

    when i initiate an ssh session to server X on ubuntu the shift keys ie (£, ¨) just print a question mark. Using putty in windows works (what i usually do at work). Im sure ive had this problem before but cant remember what i did to fix it.

    Any help appreciated

    Thanks

    I 'think' that you don't have your bash environment set up properly on one of the server.
    Code:
    echo $LANG
    should give you something like
    Code:
    en_US.UTF-8
    if its working.

    If so, then we'll fix that.
    Every time you install Jaunty, a kitten........ wait sorry what year is this again?

    Sorry I haven't been available since my first reply.

    Could you let us know what was needed to fix the problem? You never know who might find this post with the same problem later!
