   This doesn't match the location of your config file below.

   Where in the above quoted text does it say "luit is installed"? I see things   
   like "'luit' not found", "State: not a real package (virtual)", and "N: No   
   packages found."   
      
   The only place it actually says something is installed is "xterm/noble,now   
   390-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed]" but that has nothing to do with the package   
   "luit".

   This right here. The "home" directory you speak of above is not "sbbs", it is   
   "bbs". So try this:   
      
   ---------[ THIS ONE ]--------   
   LANG=es=ES.ISO8859-1 gedlnx -C/home/bbs/golded.cfg   
   -----------------------------   
      
   NOTE: I change the above line to use ISO-8859-1, since every reference I've   
   seen -2 is used in Central and Eastern Europe, which has nothing to do with   
   South America. This may fix your key binding issue as well.   
      
   You may not be using the correct config file.

   I'm also not sure Synchronet supports OPUS style netmail, so your "Netmail"   
   areadef probably won't work currectly in this case.

   These should display properly if you were actually using this config file.

   You are using Golded. As far as I can tell, Golded strips those kludge lines   
   no matter if you have an origin line or not. However, most other software   
   doesn't. So basically anyone that is NOT using Golded is seeing it.   
      
   Looks like you might be using a different config file, or one that was   
   generated by mistake. Try the line I gave above and see if it works any better   
   for you. As for the key bindings, that could be on the OS level. We can tackle   
   that after your Golded works a bit better.   
      
   > Sorry but I'm confused about this   
      
   People are willing to help you out, you just need to pay attention, and not   
   try to setup 10 different things at once. Focus on getting one thing right,   
   then move on to the next.   
      
   I also just noticed that you are accessing your Synchronet message bases with   
   Golded. So if the above help doesn't work, the next place you should check is   
   your settings in SCFG > MESSAGE AREAS > FIDONET > MESSAGE SUB-BOARDS >  > NETWORK OPTIONS > APPEND TAG/ORIGIN LINE = YES, then make sure   
   you have ECHOMAIL ORIGIN LINE set to what you want it to be, and FIDONET   
   ECHOMAIL = YES.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
