While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.

i recently got a french msi wind U100x running on linux suse enterprise 10 sp1. (i am french and wanted a light netbook with french keyboard)i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping.because i am more used to english for settings, i set the main language to english, but it seems that it automatically reconfigures my keyboard mapping to english as well, so that azerty becomes qwerty.i reset it back to french, so now my keyboard is french, but so is the system.is there a way to differentiate keyboard from main user setting language?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?
One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?

i am trying to use greek as well, besides english, but my keyboard doesn't want to. i have visited the directory /usr/share/x11/xkb/symbols, where i can see that there is a file called gr, which most likely is for greek, but i don't know what to do with it.

Ever since then I have been unable to log in as the keyboard is typing in Amharic and the original password was created in US English. I also tried << Ctrl+Alt+F1 >> and typed in the login name and password, even Root and the password but no luck.

I have made several attempts to install Ubuntu with Russian or Dutch languages, but apart from one partial success with Russian the install seems to fail, is this muck on the DVD,a failing hard drive, or a conflict with the hardware, I speak Dutch and my son is learning Russian at A level.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed open suse 11.2 yesterday stock Education edition DVD.
I changed the keyboard because it was generating garbage instead of english chars. (everything was stock from the CD)
The replacement kb is a newer one (I favor the old kb's).
eventually the language and layout of the keyboard changes - usually to Arabic or some Eastern alphabet.
I was really starting to like open suse, but if this persists it is unusable.
Something is misbehaving - any Ideas would be appreciated.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have openSUSE 11.2 with default GNOME desktop and i'm facing issues with keyboard layouts, which are changing randomly. Problem is that i have GNOME in Slovak language and therefore has openSUSE set durring installation my keyboard layout to 'Slovak' but i always change it to 'Slovak QWERTY' which suits me better.
Problem is that randomly system adds back to my layouts which are 'Slovak QWERTY' and 'USA' also original 'Slovak' layout which was previously removed.
I must always manually remove this third layout and it's very frustrating. Many times on fresh system boot it's anyway back and so on and on... Where may lie the problem? Why is GNOME not respecting my settings? In Ubuntu i never have these basic issues. Are there on system boot some specific SUSE triggers which are overwriting my configuration?
how can I change the language of the action labels shown in the Keyboard Shortcuts window? System language is set to English (United States), but the mentioned descriptions are displayed in Italian language.

My name is Simon and I have recently moved Ubuntu 10.04 from Windows XP. I am a programmer with a few years under my belt using a range of languages but primarily Microsoft Visual Foxpro. This program was very useful as it allowed me to access tables stored on my system and create programs to manipulate data in a wide variety of ways. Programs could be hobbled together, refined then placed in a menu system.I have been looking at a range of packages to use that would (a) allow me the same interactive experience, (b) allow me access to xbase tables (especially as most of the packages and business clients I have use this format), and can be used to create a GUI program. Ideally the package could create programs that can run relatively easily on Linux and Windows. Why, you might ask? Well unfortunately I have not been able to ditch foxpro, it is kind of unique in its abilities. Consequently I am using XP in VirtualBox to do some of my analysis and report production. I also still run Windows on my slate computer, which is used in the field to collect data.I have investigated Python/Jython, Java, Bash, and a number of others (e.g things that interact with PostSQL, MySQL, etc) but happily admit that I am overwhelmed with alternatives. That said, none quite match my relatively simple requirements stated above. The biggest problem is the lack of interactive data manipulation -- e.g. type an SQL statement and have the result appear immediately, that sort of stuff.
I need a language with strong data access, manipulation and reporting capabilities. I have sizable tables/databases containing millions of records and at present most queries take only a seconds using Visual Foxpro. Most of my investigations push me to the MySQL and similar data repositories, but all have their own format. Essentially I need to import all my data into their system before a language can access the data (note that there are copyright issues preventing this in some situations) - aren't there any programs that can access dbase or foxpro tables directly?The programming language also needs to be relatively mature. I don't want to spend all my time defining window sizes and button locations. Editors/Wizards that help design a GUI interface is preferable. It is imperative the language also has strong string, number, array and table access capabilities. Code should also be intuitive and easy to read. A lot of the languages I have reviewed are not intuitive. To me, functions in the format substr(string, start, lengthsegment) is logical and easy to follow. Things like Str = ${str//search/replace/} are not.
I suppose while I am listing preferences, an interpreter like eclipse would be desirable to help maintain code and format it as you go. Some sort of intelligent feedback as you construct a code snippet showing you what alternatives are available would also be valuable.At present I am leaning towards Python with Eclipse as the program manager, but as stated this setup does not really provide an interactive experience and does not appear to naturally interact with dbase. It appears this option would require considerable setup to get working.Java + Eclipse has been suggested before, especially as it takes away the need to worry about operating systems, but most of the packages I have used based on this language are restricted by library development by Sun Microsystems. The file chooser is a classic example - a known bug has been registered for this library for 5+ years and the problem has not been fixed.
I installed Edubuntu Karmic in a friends computer, his daughter is learning to use a computer and she uses Gcompris a lot, but lately she's taking some spanish classes at school and she needs to learn the numbers and abc in spanish. There's anyway I can change the language in Gcompris to spanish?
