problem with characters using dtlogin

[Peter Klausner_1]

hi,
i have the following problem:
Every time i login local via cde on my workstation i have the following problem with the ksh (i have a normal login with .profile and /etc/profile by setting *loginShell: True):
i can see the tilde and the backtick/backquote in my dtterm put this characters aren't interpreted form the shell the way the are shown.
Example
cd ~user don't change to the home-directory of the user
and
hallo=`uname`;echo $hallo
doesn't show me HPUX . Instead of i see `uname`
When i have via telnet everything is working right.
Under the bourne shell i see very strange characters for tilde and backticks (something like ^s^ for the tilde).
I found out, using the xd-tool that my backtick isn't 60 for the shell. It is interpreted as a different character.

How has an idea?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The first thing which comes to my mind.

1. In your .dtprofile file in the home directory, unhash the following entry as follows

DTSOURCEPROFILE=true

Please get back to us with the result.

Hi Sukant,
by setting loginShell. true i pass my .profile (same as setting DTSOURCEPROFILE but also passing /etc/profile)

Hi Steve,
TERM=dtterm
i tried several locale (C,...). No success. What I am missing is a locale for swiss-german. My keboard is set to a ps 2 swiss german din keyboard.

[Steve Steel]

Hi

locale -a

and

locale -m

Then try

export LANG=newlocale
export LC_ALL=newlocale


If you have
/etc/kbdlang what is in it


USB_PS2_DIN_SWISS_GERMAN2
USB_PS2_DIN_SWISS_GERMAN2_EURO

[Steve Steel]

what is the latest sh patch you have

If you give the OS version you have I will check it.


steve steel

[Hartmut Lang]

Could it be a problem with your stty-settings?

What is the out put of
"stty -a" ?


BTW: what is the difference between a "USB_PS2_DIN_German" and a "PS2_DIN_Swiss_German2" keyboard?

Hartmut

[Peter Klausner_1]

Hi Steven,

OS:HP-UX 11.00 32 BIT

Hi Hartmut,

The difference is the type of the interface of the keyboard (PS2 or USB)


Peter

[Peter Klausner_1]

Hi Steve,

i have the following sh_posix(1) cumulative Patches on my machine:


PHCO_18447 and PHCO_23873 on my machine


Peter

[Steve Steel]

Hi

1)Check swlist -l fileset|grep PH|grep sh

Need
PHCO_26783
PHCO_26789
PHCO_26014

As a minimum patch level for the shells


2)Exactly what is wrong in sh
