on terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1) this is working: `._cfg???`.
I think is is namely the `.

can you please describe the problem better?  I don't understand what you are saying.

[Comment 2 Armin Mohring 2006-06-27 09:28:34 UTC]

open a terminal window in KDE.

output of emerge --help config gives the following command:
find /etc -name `_cfg????_*`.

This command does not work in the terminal window of KDE (super user mode).

This command does work, if I switch to rext console (CTRL+ALT+F1) (in super user mode). 

[Comment 3 Armin Mohring 2006-06-27 09:42:29 UTC]

KDE 3.5.2 and console version 1.6.2.

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-06-27 09:45:29 UTC]

You need to use ' not `.
` is a backtick and has a special meaning in bash
' is a quote character.

Keyboard does not react on first typing of:

Keyboard does not react on first typing of:
`
´
~
`
and so on.

On text console (CTRL+ALT+F19 everything works fine.

[Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-10-16 05:51:25 UTC]

Seems like you enabled deadkeys. Do you have us_intl layout (xorg 6.x) or us layout with alt-intl variant (xorg >=7)?

[Comment 8 Armin Mohring 2006-10-16 12:22:26 UTC]

Actual xorg version is 7.1.
Keyboard layout de, pc 105.
Keyboardoption nodeadkeys

[Comment 9 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2007-02-01 13:25:34 UTC]

Is this still a problem with kde-3.5.6?

[Comment 10 Armin Mohring 2007-02-03 06:46:23 UTC]

no.
