Meshcentral: terminal do not support any lang except english

[GusevVictor]

Dear all, I use: 0.4.7-i version of meshcentral. I have linux servers with folder on my native lang (in my case it is Russian (utf8-ru, cp1251 and so on). If I have any folder with name contain my native lang into remote linux system, there is big big problem. I can't type any symbol in my language in terminal at all. Because of this I can't change dir to my folder or use Tab. Please, please, please fix that.

Not work.

v0.4.7-L

It looks like a hell... :( Please switch to xterm.js.
When I connect to ubuntu 14.04 from windows clt (firefox), if I have En keyboard lang I can type text but when I switch to Russian lang nothing apper and when I have switch to En lang again I cant type any text more. I need to reconnect every time when I switch keyboard lang.

Using xterm is not a bad idea. I just spent the last few hours working on a prototype. This said, it does not look like it's going to fix the keyboard since xterm only does the rendering. This said, there is an early screen. Once I polish this, I should be able to release it and get feedback on it.

Published MeshCentral v0.4.7-p with XTerm.js support built-in, let me know if this new terminal works for you. Turns out, XTerm.js also handles all the keys, so hopefully all languages should work.

WOW... it looks like a very very good attempt to fix many many bugs but this is not works as expected again on ubuntu 14.04.

xterm.js very fast!

There is new bugs. I will create new ticket for it.

So, the main problem not fixed. I mean lang problem... That is very strange problem.

Step to reproduce:

Windows client (firefox ESR)

1. Upgrade to 0.4.7-s
2. Open xterm.js (connect to ubuntu 14.04.2)
3. Switch lang to RU
4. The first symbol will be print as : and delete line prompt.
5. Please see a screen shot, the first command was mkdir eng, the second was mkdir rus (but want to type rus in russian Русский)

There is no problem with lang in classic terminal and xterm.js when I connect to ubuntu 18.04 server.

Please fix xterm.js and classic shell works on ubuntu 14 and any other old distr.
