(Solved!) Keyboard/Language Layouts

I have a problem,
I used the cedilla with the combination '+ c, but now instead of cedilla return c with the ' accent

my xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection

I am sure there must be a simple way to do this but my keyboard seems to be stuck in US format for typing, My location and time is fine, (United Kingdom)

Hi,
Did you had a look to Main Menu => Configuration => Config Panel => Language => Keyboard feature?
If this menu is not present you have to enable the module going Main Menu => Configuration => Modules and enable (put from left column to the right one) module named "Languages"

*I'm not sure about exact translations as my desktop is in french...

Hope it helps...
Ciao

Hi!


You should boot into nurse-mode. There you'll find a "Keyboard" option which should solve your problem.

Have Fun!

Hello,

I tried to change language with the shortcut I'm used to, Shift+Alt. But I found those problems:

1.) When I try to add the shortcut Shift+Alt the system ignores it
2.) When I've set "next language" to alt+shift+1 and "prev lang" to alt+shift+2, both shortcuts change it to 2nd lang and it doesn't loop anymore
3.) So I have to click on the icon in the gadget(placed in shelf9) to change back to 1st language


Any solution? Please?
P.S.: Latest dev, no compiz

It can be that in xorg.conf exist another shortcut to change layout. Remove it and restart Xserver.
And usualy it's enough 1 shortcut to circle betwin Lang.

I hate ATI... but I love Elive. It work with ATI with no problem.

Hi folks, I know that's probably basic, but how do you add more than one keyboard layout and how do you switch between them without e17 self reboot???

I use Elive 2.0

I guess using the language module should do it.

Well, I have the same question, but that suggestion doesn't help, because I don't know what the "language module" is, or how to use it.

However, I have found an alternate solution, and I will describe it here.

setxkbmap is a tool to query and change the current XKB map. It is included in the package x11-xkb-utils, which is in the repository.

Once setxkbmap is installed, I can run the following command in the terminal:

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ca

That command sets the key combination Alt-Shift to toggle the key map between us and ca (I am from Québec).

But it would be inconvenient to have to run that command manually each time I want to switch between layouts. The solution is to create a .desktop file that includes that command. The .desktop file becomes an executable "application", that can then be placed with all the other .desktop files in the folder /usr/share/applications.

Here is the complete .desktop file, called "keyboard-fix-e17.desktop"

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Keyboard-fix-e17
GenericName=Keyboard-fix-e17
Comment=Fix hanging keys on loading e17 keyboard switcher
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ca
Icon=
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
StartupNotify=false

After placing the .desktop file in the /usr/share/applications folder, the next step is to add the file to the commands that are run automatically when eLive starts up. Do that by going to the Apps tab of the Settings panel, select Startup Applications, find keyboard-fix-e17 in the list on the left, and add it to the list on the right.

I hope that helps, Andrius and others with the same problem.

If you know an easier way using the Language module, please describe it in detail for us newbies!

US - Lithuanian language layouts,
setup at /etc/X11/xorg.conf, alt+shift to change
ofc you have to have needet language pack & for that use synaptic or apt
