tilde and double quote keys don't work on the command line
I've just installed Ubuntu Server 11.10 and the tilde (~) and double quotes (") keys don't do anything - they don't print to the screen. I'm only using the command line (no GUI) and many tutorials say to use setxkbmap and xmodmap which aren't working for me.

Check your keyboard layout settings, make sure it's English (US) not English (US, international with dead keys) (assuming you're using US keyboard).
To change it from the command line, enter the following:
$ setxkbmap -layout us
It worked for me.

Sorry about not getting back too soon. I solved the problem via installing/running console-setup and changing the layout from there.

Use
sudo apt-get install console-common
Or if it is already installed:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Follow the instructions to set the keyboard, e.g. for me, "pc / qwerty / US american / Standard / Standard".

You can change the keyboard in the Ubuntu System Settings, Text Entry. Remove the English(UK) from 'Input sources to use:' by selecting it in the list and clicking '-'. (Tested in ubuntu 14.04)
