Hi!
Somehow my Ubuntu refuses to input tilde in pd. It works a couple of times when I start pd, then it just simply won't input any character ... Any idea what could be the problem? This is really annoying.
Cheers!

No idea, sorry. But I experience similar problems and I may add some more details.
When I start pd, I usually can type tilde characters. After switching to another application and then back to Pd, I can't type tildes anymore in Pd. And there seems to be no way to restore tilde-typing ability until I restart Pd. Actually, it is not only the tilde character, but all characters of the same key cannot be typed anymore (^,`,~). On a Swiss German layout it is the key left of back space.
After the problem has been triggered, [keyname] still shows the correct characters, while [key] only outputs 0 for ^, ` and ~.
This problem occurs only on one of two machines with similar setup:
#1: Ubuntu 14.04 i386, Pd 0.46.6 from git, Intel graphics driver -> Problem can be triggered
#2: Ubuntu 14.04 i383, Pd 046.6 from git, Nvidia proprietary driver -> Problem cannot be triggered
I mention graphics drivers specifically, because there were some reports about Pd crashing X11 while typing in certain Ubuntu setups with Intel drivers. Maybe this problem is related.

just try pushing tilde twice... welcome!

I've had this on Raspberry Pi. On the Pi it's a keyboard config issue. So if the suggestions above don't work you could try mucking around with a different keyboard config or even better actually identify what you keyboard is and configure for that. Good luck, these kinds of basic issues tend to be quite frustrating.
cheers Richie

Thanks, but does not help. Tilde creation on Swiss German keyboards is a bit strange, even when it works normally:
- press and hold AltGr key
- press ~ key (respectively ^-key)
- release both
- press <space>
When it stops working, I can repeat above indefinitely without any effect.

I have had issues similar to this, I found it was solved by switching off compositing, as compiz was grabbing various sets of keystrokes before they could get to the application.
Cheers,

Thanks for the hint.
In my case, it is not compiz grabbing anything. I'm using fluxbox as window manager without any compositing at all.
