Mimosa probably has the best suggestion... "try commenting them out (one each at a time) to see the result"
By the way, how did you end up with such a well-tweaked .bashrc? Mine is just the default salix 6-liner.

alias mkey="xmodmap -e 'keycode 115=Multi_key' " You don't need to have a multikey if you only use English. But for languages with accents or tones you can't without.mimosa wrote:What does that last one do? Also LESSCHARSET ....
LESSCHARSET=utf-8s needed to have 'less' show utf-8 characters only.
Maybe the problem lies with the aliases. If I unalias 'cp', 'mv', 'rm' the problem has disappeared, but I loose some functionality. Why? Why can't I use 'cp', 'mv', 'rm' with arguments??My first step would be to try commenting them out (one each at a time) to see the result.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reaction.
Re: strange characters on command line
What happens if you use those commands manually - do you still get output like that?
Regarding multikey, I have such a keyboard, and it works without tweaking. é, têm acentuação ...
I just wonder (as a diagnostic step, not a proposed solution): what happens if you comment out just that line?

Re: strange characters on command line
As Gapan suggested, did you try creating a new user? and try reproducing this problem from a standard setup?
What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
