Hi to you all ! I'm having some unexpected issues to get accents in a lxc container with Rocky Linux (terminal, mousepad etc) using XFCE.
This is what localectl returns :
Code:
System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8
     VC Keymap: us-intl
     X11 Layout: us
     X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Variant: intl
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
I prefer to have the system running in english, but occasionnally need to type accents, which I can usually do choosing a US alt keymap. But in this particular container, no matter what I'm trying, it seems I just can't get it right. I'm at a loss, since I'm not too sure if this is a LXC container limitation (but I can't get my head why that would influence this), a xrdp issue, a plain simple linux misconfiguration or maybe some packets missing.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong please ?

Note : I'm using a 60% keyboard and usually type `+e to get "è", or I can use a compose key like alt+e to get "é".

hmm ... I've isolate the issue to xrdp. I've still no idea how to solve this, but at the very least, I don't think this is appropriate for this forum (sorry for the noise).
I will close this topic.
