When I type something each letter is contains ^[ symbols in front of it

0

I got to the login input in console mode on Ubuntu x86 EFI and when I type any letter it goes with ^[ symbols. For example, artur goes like ^[a^[r^[t^[u^[r. What can I do to fix that?

Upd: It could be that console is UTF-8 while input goes as UTF-16 so the first 8 bits are the escape character ^[... Or something like that.

FWIW, in case this gives you and idea of something to look into, ^[ is one way to represent ESC. So this suggests to me that an escape character is being sent in front of every keypress. – Spiff – 2017-09-18T22:30:31.757
