Danish Keyboard Layout working in Gnome but not in Kde

Hi!,
I'm trying to get to work the Danish Keyboard layout in Kde, with no success. In Gnome it works fine, but in Kde (or well, any Qt based app), when I hit å, ø, or try to write accents, I get two white quads instead of the correct character.  It works if I write them in a gtk aplication, copy and paste in a kde app.. but...
Does anyone knows what can be possibly happening?
My xorg.conf has
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
and Kde is configured to use the DK Layout.
thanks!
silencer
ps. I wrote this in gnome

Ouh, no.. I have another problem
I want the language (for apps like gcc, or mc) to be english, not danish, so I replaced in rc.conf da_DK.utf8 by en_DK.utf8, and got the language as english, but now.. accents doesn't work anymore. They do work, again, under gnome, but not in kde.  Any ideas?
thanks a lot
silencer

  • [SOLVED] German keyboard layout working in XDM, but not in E17?

    Hello out there,
    After a fresh installation of my Arch Linux box, I want to use e17.
    Everything works fine, except that e17 does not take over the german keyboard layout that I configured for X.
    This is the content of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    EndSection
    Under XDM, I can enter Umlauts and everything is fine. In e17, this is not the case.
    I am sure that I already had this problem in the past but I can't remember the solution.
    Any ideas?
    EDIT: Now I put this in the file 10-evdev.conf, but with still no more effect.
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    EndSection

    Solved only for basic variants of keyboard layouts. I use 'cz qwerty', but no option for this xkbmap variant is icluded into XKBSwitch module. Loading this variant manually via setxkbmap command is possible'but annoying... There is no support for XKB variants in e17 when X used and supported by e17 provide the job reliably but of extraordinary way for e17 configuration.

  • Non-english keyboard layouts work in some programs, not others

    In some programs, I can set a non-English keyboard layout and have the appropriate behavior when it comes to diacritics - in, say, the brazilian layout, hitting { then a will give me a á, and so on. It works perfectly fine in Firefox and xchat, for instance. But in other programs, opera and openoffice to name two I've tried, this fails. I either get a garbage character when I hit the first diacritic key or I just get the diacritic by itself and then the accentless vowel: ´a.
    Completely non-English characters still work fine; I can get ç in the Brazilian layout and ñ in Latin American and the Georgian one works fine too, since Georgian doesn't have diacritics I presume. It's just diacritics that don't work.
    I first noticed this problem after I installed SCIM, so I assume it has something to do with the SCIM installation, but I don't know what I did in the process of installing it that would've messed things up.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts work in Preview, but not in .SWF (Captivate 5)

    I'm working on a project where keyboard shortcuts are the *main* way users will advance the screen.  This is because keyboard shortcuts are the main way to
    accomplish tasks in the software I am teaching.
    Most of my keyboard shortcuts use an invisble clickbox on the screen.  These worked fine when I Previewed the slides.  Great!  I create about 5,000 of them (okay, I created about 30).  I published the project to .SWF.  Uh-oh.  Keyboard shortcuts DO NOT WORK, you hear a Windows beep instead.  Lesson remains stuck with no way to advance.
    Here is some info that might help based on what I was able to find in previous questions about shortcuts:
    -- It happens in both IE and Firefox
    -- No, there are not multiple clickboxes using the same keyboard shortcut on the same slide
    Thanks for any help -- I'm up against a deadline and teaching the correct keyboard shortcuts for various actions is absolutely critical to my lesson!

    Hi there
    Certain keyboard shortcuts are dicey in Captivate when delivering via SWF. This is because the web browser itself presents the SWF. Because of this, the browser has control and intercepts shortcuts designed for its own use.
    You may choose to call that "Bad behavior" on the part of the browser, but it's normal behavior if you think about it.
    This calls into question why Adobe would offer such shortcuts and allow them to be assigned in the first place if they fail. And the answer to that is to advise that these shortcuts *DO* actually work in EXE output.
    As with most things in life you find there will always be trade offs. You gain something in one place only by sacrificing something elsewhere.
    You could complain to Adobe about it, but it's darned hard for them to influence browser behavior.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Blank dvds work in gnome but not xfce [solved]

    Hi.
    I have installed Arch with xfce4 and xfce4-goodies. When I put in a dvd with data on, an icon appears on the desktop and thunar starts up automatically. When I put in a blank dvd to burn it nothing happens, so I've tried to mount it with "mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/dvd" but I get the following message:
    mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
    The result is I can't burn dvds. When I put back a working dvd (one with data on), using "mount" gives this line:
    /dev/sr0 on /media/dvd type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,unhide,user=david)
    I tried different cds and dvds but same thing every time so I installed gnome, put a blank dvd in and everything worked fine.  Back in xfce there's the same problem. I have tried different mounting commands such as using /dev/dvd, /dev/dvd0 and /dev/dvd1 but I get the same message. I've not been able to find a solution so if anyone has any suggestions/pointers I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.
    In case it useful here is my /etc/fstab file:
    # <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>

    Hello DaveI,
    You can't mount blank media.  Mount makes a file system accessible, but since blank media has none, the mount operation fails.  XFCE might complain about the failed mount, but you should still be able to burn the DVD afterward.  I guess Gnome just fails silently?  I dunno, I don't use it.
    Anyway, just burn your dvd without trying to mount it first.  Also, when trying to mount a DVD, you should specify udf as the file system, iso9660 is for CDs.
    Ciao.

  • Link works on mac but not on pc

    Hi -
    I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
    I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
    So the url is:  http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
    The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
    Any idea why?
    Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
    Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

    The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

  • Why does the counter work in MAX, but not Labview?

    Please help, I have been away from Labview for over 3 months, and I am quite rusty....
    Last year, I successfully configured NI9401 to measure period (seconds) by counting the rising edges of my sensor signal.  Since then, I have aquired a new PC, and loaded all my software into it, including the Labview VI's that successfully worked on the old computer.
    I can see the digital signal using MAX and the test panel for the NI9401, so, I know my wiring and my TTL signal is OK, but, when I try to run the attached VI, nothing happens except the error below..  How do I tell this VI to look for the signal on MOD3/CTR0 and channel 14?
    Thanks. I am sure it is a small adjustment...this worked fine a few months ago...not sure what is wrong now.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    OK, now.  Resolved the issue. The vi is fine, but, some shaky wires were identified...worked in MAX but not in the vi.  Now that the connections have been tightened up, it works for both.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Edit: I succeeded to solve it accidentally. I did the following: Sign the jar in Netbeans, clean and build, the jar didn't work, I wiped out the .ks from the jar and clean and build again. Now it worked.

  • Wifi works at home but not when away from home

    My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong?  I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

    You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
    Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

  • Album Art works for most, but not all

    I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
    The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
    I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

    I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
    This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
    So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
    And decided to join my problem to this entry.
