[emacs24] No caret char (^) in emacs ??

[emacs24] No caret char (^) in emacs ??

[Olve]

Hello,

   Just switched to Ubuntu 14.04
---------------------------------------
kernel 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
---------------------------------------
Everything works fine ("but" coming), no problem with the X server.

Sole problem detected : the caret (^) in emacs does not seem to work.

With emacs -q BTRY.tex

"^2" gives "2"
"^ " gives " "

The same in bash:
"^2" gives "^2"
"^ " gives "^"

My file has "^" characters, I can copy-paste this character (this is my 
way of typing just now!). I couldn't locate info on internet, maybe I'm 
not using the proper keywords.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry solved.

For reference:

C-hk^ --> <dead-circumflex> undefined

(load-library "iso-transl")

does the trick.

Nope.

That's your problem, indeed.

But that's just a crutch.

And what's the solution?

I can't remember.  But at least, try it out with the Emacs pretest and
if it's not fixed there, use M-x report-emacs-bug.

This might be related to

Are you using -with-X11 or -no-X11?  

Try:

C-x 8 ^ space

Re: [emacs24] No caret char (^) in emacs ??

[Olve]

So:
-------------------------
emacs -q BTRY7.tex&

C-x 8 ^   outputs message in minibuffer: C-x 8 dead-circumflex-
--------------------------
emacs -q -nw BTRY7.tex

The caret works fine
--------------------------
emacs is emacs 24 with x11 (version amd64)
--------------------------

I hope that helps a bit -- O.

Same behaviour with emacs23
------------------------------
emacs23 --version
GNU Emacs 23.4.1
------------------------------
emacs24 --version
GNU Emacs 24.3.1
------------------------------

I discovered an "emacs23-x" but I don't quite see the difference with 
emacs23 ... Same behaviour anyway.

HTH, O.
