I was attempting to create an XKB layout that would allow me to type Polish characters and mathematical symbols, which I attempted to do by editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pl. When the computer tried to load it it said there was an error loading the XKB configuration. Here is the code:

I see that it changes Alt_R to "Iso_L..." for all/both layouts, including USA layout. When I click "Reset to Defaults" it's fine again, USA layout shows Alt_R again. I've tried all the variants of the Latin American layout and the Spain layout and they all do the same thing.What is "ISO_L..." and what's going on?i DESPERATELY need my Alt_R to work!

It is correctly recogniced as german keyboard by ev-dev, i guess. (ev-dev managed). But i need to write some spanisch symbols too, like accents (á © í ³ ? ñ¬ ·hich in a normal linux, they do work. For some reason, after rebooting, or after some time of having it running, the keyboard layout resets to an invalid setup, here accents get not over the letter (?a ?e ?i ?o ?u), so i have to select my layout again in the gnome control center.
With my other computermore or less the same.Its a desktop PC with an spanisch keyboard. But i thinck i picked German keyboard during installation and now it starts always with german with some sort of 5 secs delay when setting it. I have to pick spanisch and i always delete the german layout, but after some time having it running, it resets to the previusly deleted german layout.

If I remove USA and add french canada, when I logout and login it goes back to usa & fren canada legacy.
I tried just to remove usa but it comeback everytimes.
How can I change the keyboard layout to my language using command line? I'm running openbox.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I use a awful lot of characters. I do math which means I want to be able to type Greek letters and mathematical symbols, and I also want to be able to type Polish and Russian characters. I figure for Cyrillic I should just make a separate layout since I wouldn't want to type with one hand on some special key all the time anyway. What I would like to do would be to use the right alt for Polish and math symbols (there are enough keys to go around) and use a different shortcut for Greek letters, preferably not involving switching layouts.
I know only a very small bit about how xkb works (I at least know where the layout files are, what each key is called, and how to do trivial manipulations, but that's it) and none of the tutorials i could find were very informative about what I need to know.
One stupid, hopefully easy problem is that I do not know how to input math characters because I do not know their names (for characters like integral, less than or equal to, direct sum, etc) or if/how I can put in Unicode ids or something of that nature.
The other thing is that I don't know how to set up a separate key combination (say right-alt - backslash) to use Greek letters.
I have a little problem when I restart my computer, the keyboard layout restart and get back to the default USA keyboard. Even if I delete it it's still back after the reboot. Maybe there a file that I can edit to get my default Canada setting to stay.Also, another problem that have been discussed thousand time before, I tried to add a drive to fstab without success, here what my fstab look like:Quote:

This problem has been discussed a couple of times here and there and there are numerous solutions as well as unsolved stories. The topic says it all I think. I use ca(fr) layout, and in the gnome keyboard configuration (system, preferences, keyboard) I only leave Canada. When I log out and go back in, the layout changes to USA and in the configuration tool, theres canada AND usa. I have to delete USA every time. The file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard is already set to ca(fr) and doesn't change
I tried to delete:
rm -f /var/cache/gdm/your-username/.dmrc
rm -f ~/.dmrc
but I either did miss something or it didn't work. The only thing I observed is that if I set the keyboard layout to Ca(fr) at the login screen (which is always set back to USA), the layout stays to ca(fr) in my session. This problem did not occur on Fedora 11 and it began on 12 on my laptop as well as on my girlfriend's.
I've read somewhere and I forgot where, that it is a known bug in Gnome and that it is fixed in a later version. I applied all available updates and system/about this computer says I have Gnome 2.28.0 and if I recall, this bug is supposedly fixed in 2.28.4 but I may be wrong on the version number. This is very annoying as we try to turn our computers off when we don't use them but this reset every login kind of forces us to our previous bad habits.
I'm searching for a tool that can show current keyboard layout in GNOME tray panel. As I reminded there was such tool for KDE, but at this time I'm using GNOME and it's a really problem to find such stuff. Is there any tool for GNOME (showing keyboard layout tray icon) like in KDE?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to get my GetNet 300 GN-621U USB wireless device working for a while now. When I first booted into my clean meerkat 64-bit install, both my wired and wireless were visible in network connections but neither could connect. I have since figured out what was wrong with the internal NIC and am happy to say i'm connected to the net, but need wireless to work. Having blacklisted the generic wireless driver, i see nothing anywhere that the device is on the system
My initial attempt led me down the route of installing ndisgtk for running the windows driver. I've since removed the driver/device from Windows Wireless Devices and have been trying to install the bona fide linux driver from getnet.

I have a Dell Mini Netbook, running Ubuntu 8.04 - "The Hardy Heron". Other than Skype and Chrome, I don't have any programs on my netbook that I didn't get from the "Add/Remove" program.For a long time now, I have been having an issue with my netbook where after being on for about 5 minutes, sometimes as long as 10 minutes, the system will star to freeze up, to the point where nothing works, not even the mouse. I know it's freezing and not locking because you can move the mouse a little bit, but it is too slow to be able to do anything, and normal processes that take seconds normally, will take upwards of 5 minutes. At least.
At one point I found and ran the Ubuntu-version of Task Manager, System Monitor. I sat and watched it for the 5 minutes it took for the freeze up started happening. RIGHT as the system froze up, both of the CPU's and the RAM maxed out at the same time.At this point, I would normally just go into Task Manager and see what shouldn't be running, and end whatever I see that I don't like, and then go delete the files for that program(s). Or at the very least, just system restore (because I ALWAYS have backups off the computer). But I don't know how to do any of that on Ubuntu.The netbook ran fine for almost 1 1/2years before this started happening, and at first it wasn't an issue that happened all the time. It happened every now and then, but restarting the netbook would fix it for a few days. And it slowly became an every week thing, then every day, and now every time the netbook turns on... which kinda sounds like a hardware issue, because software shouldn't change over time if there is no change put into it.
By the way, at the very least I'd like to know if there's a way to totally wipe and re-install my netbook from scratch. I don't need any of the files on it, so that's not an issue. Also I've heard that I might actually want to be using Xubuntu of I'm having a memory issue, so is there a way to replace Ubuntu altogether with this Xubuntu?
I am running a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 and vista. Anyway both systems are very healthy as far as I can see. I have a very fast internet connection at 50Mbs. Under vista I can pull around 4 - 5MBs where under Ubuntu I can only get about 350KBs. I have a single PC hard wired into a Netgear WNR3500 router/firewall. Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything I can do with my packet sizes or receive windows to help it along? I am only using a very small part of my available bandwidth obviously. Is there a kind soul here who could tell me how to optimize my internet connection in Lucid?

* When connecting to a host using NX (nomachine), the keyboard layout is wrong, Down arrow is enter, delete is print screen making it difficult to work.
* Gnome keyboard interface appears to do nothing when options are changed, works in fc10.
* Trying to changed the keyboard options originally crashed the nx connection, untill I murdered bug buddy who was the culprit in that issue.
In fc10 you could change options and see a result, not so in fc11, why ?
I'm new to linux, been using fedora 12 for about a week. I just noticed a problem with my keyboard layout. When i press the key with the backslash and pipe character, i get < for backslash and > for the pipe character. I have tried the following to fix the problem:
1.$ gnome-keyboard-properties then selected the proper keyboard model (Asus Laptop) tried adding different keyboard layouts and setting them as default nothing i did there made any difference.I am currently using USA, i have tried Canada English, USA international, and more I noticed that even when i change it to something like Afganistan, there is no noticable different when i type in the test area. I notice that there are keyboard layouts that have < and > where the backslash and pipe character should be, but the picture for USA shows the pipe and backslash where they should be.

i have 2 hard drives with originally Win XP on one of them, and i thought it would be cool to have one with WinXP and the other one with Linux.so i choose Ubuntu. i just wished someone would have told me how Pro you really have to be for Linux.and that its totally not what i was looking for,...and apparently im a total Noob.so i Installed it, wasnt that hard, and first i thought what a cool OS ill keep it!than i tried Booting my Old OS *WinXP* from the other Harddisk (worked perfectly until than)/so Basically Ubuntu ****** up my WinXP because now i get the NTLDR Missing Error trying to start WinXP, that never happend before with that Pc.
i tought great now i have to reinstall Xp, but it came much worse,...i boot from the XP cd, and cant use the "normal" install funktion, because some errors say that i cant use the Partitions etc (no idea) up to cd reading errors,...so i wanted to try the Windows Repair console and easy Format C and D to get rid of Linux and reinstall a clean WinXP/
which OFC needs a stupid Admin Password, which i honestly NEVER have choosen.(i have no idea what the admin PW could be).than i made the big mistake of all, and tried to learn to Format anything with Linux,...20 stupid "tutorials" Later i still couldnt make it because im not that good with English and Linux,.
and all that programming speech, fdisk etc really is to complicated for me,...(i spent 1 hour finding where to enter the any command, because all tutorials ofc know that you ofc need the Terminal application,....half of the "how Tos: and Tutorials simply dont work because he doesnt know the Commands im entering probably Wrong, and and the other half is way to complicated for me to understand and requires knowledge i simply dont haveholy mother of god, i can tell you i never missed Windows so much,... right click, format done,... (again im not that good with Pcs)trying to get a windows admin pw is even more complicated than simply formating,... i guess.so now after aproxx 5 hours of trying to Format a hard drive under Linux i give up and came to you.
what i would need is simply a totally Idiotproove Manual to format Everything!
i have NO Idea how Linux works,.. so please if you could tell me step by step, just what to type or what buttons to press in this stupid Terminal,....i want the whole Pc clean again, so i never have to Suffer under Linux Pro"ness" again seriously its been a long time since i was so angry with my computer, and youre my last hopeand yes im very aware that im posting a kinda antiLinux thread in a Linux forum,
I had Ubuntu 10 installed for a long time, but rarely used it. Today, i decided to update from ubuntu 10 to 11.04 which took about 2 hours. After the update completed, my computer rebooted fine and i was enjoying ubuntu 11.04 without a problem. I decided that i should probably reset compiz to its default settings since there might be some sort of compatibility issues but once i did, all the task bars and icons glitched out and broke. i restarted again, and now i have no bars or anything. thanksfully i got a keyboard shortcut wallpaper and have been able to use the terminal to do things like open firefox and browse around although im not sure at all what could be wrong.
i used "compiz --replace" i think it was in the terminal, to no avail. aside from that, i have no idea what is even wrong so im having a hard time searching for solutions. im sure this issue is simple and im just retarded, so excuse my ignorance. thank you so much for any help, i've included a screenshot of what im seeing now incase i sound like a loony
I am using ubuntu 11.04 I believe and I am a noob to using ubuntu all together now I need to connect to the internet via my router wireless Is there a good tutorial I can be linked to or if someone could provide the steps that would be awesome I have a "broadcom 802.11n network adapter"
