Devanagari in urxvt and keyboard layout...

I just started taking Hindi this semester, and I was wondering how to get urxvt to work with the Devanagari script. I know the man page specifically mentions that it doesn't support all the complex combining rules, but it should still work a little bit, right? I can't get anything to display except squares.
Also, what is the keyboard layout or variant for this script? Does anyone know how I could switch layouts on-the-fly with a keyboard shortcut or something (for instance, xbindkeys)?
Thanks in advance. Hopefully somebody can help; I realize this is a little bit esoteric.

Some questions about using non-english characters and keyboard layouts

I've found a lot of guides about how to enable characters in Linux, and that is easy enough, but I want to understand it better.
The way that I understand it, if you don't enable a given set of characters in locale.gen, then in theory you should not be able to either use or display a that set of characters in any programs (however, certain programs, like web-browsers seem to have work arounds).
Furthermore, in order to be able to type characters in X programs, you need to enable those keyboard setups in your xorg.conf (in addition to enabling those locales in locale.gen). I don't think that this effects the displaying of characters
Then, Last, you need a way to switch back and forth between different keyboard layouts within your X environment in order to type those characters. There are programs to assist in switching keyboard layouts provided by some DE's. By using these keyboard layout tools, I alter the behaviour of all programs started in X. (for example, swithing keyboard layouts in gnome's settings will alter the behaviour of kde programs, firefox and openoffice.)
How close am I?
A few more questions:
If I'm a Spanish student which locales do I need to enable. There is a long list of locales that start with ES, and I don't know if there are any drawbacks to enabling unnecessary locales. I think that the ones that I need are es_ES* (Spanish spanish?) and es_MX* (Mexican spanish?).
What is do the *@EURO locales do?
what does the locale setting in rc.conf do?

[SOLVED] After a crash, my languages and keyboard layouts are gone!

So my CPU hanged, I rebooted, unfortunatelly a lot of my personal (and perhaps system) files were corrupted. All my personal GNOME settings were set to default. I had to wipe out the entire ~/.config/dconf folder in order to regain the capability to customize everything again. So all was left behind was my keyboard layout. So I went to `Regions and Languages` and... all but the system language (English) options were gone, including the layouts!
I just reinstalled the groups gnome and gnome-extra, no to avail
What can I do?
edit: stupid me! The layouts were 'hidden' in the tiny window size of the thing!

Application hotkeys and keyboard layouts in KDE[SOLVED]

Hi,
For as long as I use Linux, I've been annoyed by this particular trouble: change layout from en to ru, for instance, and get your hotkeys (like Ctrl-S) unresponsive. Granted, that the trouble sometimes goes - to come back later on . I tried Google, but no luck. Which is kinda funny, because any bilingual user must be all too familiar with the issue. I can't even be sure whether it's some systemwide setting or an application responsibility.
Now I've run into a something like a perfect testcase :
OpenOffice 3.0.1 and Firefox 3.0.8:
(1) In Arch the hotkeys like Ctrl-S and Ctrl-T work in both apps regardless of the keyboard layout. (KDE3 and KDE4)
(2) In Pardus the hotkeys in both apps work in en layout but do not in ru layout. (KDE3)
What is it?
Last edited by Llama (2009-04-05 13:27:48)

Control Center(KDE)->Keyboard Layout->Layout->Include latin layout checkbox needs to be checked. After that Command lines for the respective layouts look like
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ru,us -variant ,winkeys
The trouble's gone.

[E17] lock and keyboard layout problems when suspend

Hello,
I just installed E17 on my Dell Vostro laptop. The main problem I have is related to the suspend mode.
In settings > screen > screen lock, I enabled the option "lock on suspend" and the keyboard layout is selected to "be (default, basic)" (I have a belgian keyboard).
When I use the menu system > suspend, the screen is locked. But when I suspend my laptop by closing the lid (I see the power light indicator blinking on the side, so it's suspended) the screen is not locked when I open it.
Also related to the suspend mode. The layout is set to belgian (in the screen config as explained above but also in vconsole.conf and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf). When I put the luks decryption key or when E17 starts at boot, I have the right layout. However when I resume the laptop after being suspended, the layout is switched to qwerty (en_us I guess).
Any idea why ?
Thank you
PS: this problem is maybe more related to E17 than to Archlinux but I haven't found any forum about enlightenment. If you think I have better chances somewhere else, let me know.

I was having problems with E17 after a fresh install (mixer problem, key bindings, etc), and I fixed it by deleting the configuration files at
~/.e
as the wiki says.

VNC into Mac and keyboard layout

Hi,
I'm trying to get keyboard layout mapping to work between the mac mini which is the VNC server and any remote VNC clients (linux, windows, mac). Tried ultravnc, tightvnc, realvnc clients. And 10.5.x built-in as well as Vine VNC servers. The mini has an Alphagrip keyboard with US+Finnish layouts. The client PCs have Finnish layout typically, also US or German.
Problem is that any pipe, tilde, @ etc "special" characters typed through the clients end up as umlauts or other characters in the VNC.
Any suggestions how I could make VNC work so that the VNC keyboard layout is always the client layout?
Thanks,
- Jan

Thanks for pointers!
Setting "US" in OSXvnc did not work with any local client-side layout, oddly not even EN/US local + EN/US remote with OSXvnc use either "US" or "Current Layout".
But the following nearly works. Client Finnish keyboard, server Mac Mini Finnish keyboard, for the ultraVNC client change Finnish/FI to US winxp locale (using XP's/Vista's Language Bar), in OSXvnc choose "Current Layout" and set global Mac layout to Finnish.
I.e. have same keyboard at both ends but set the "wrong" US locale in WinXP for the ultraVNC client.
Now nearly everything works (with this laptop and server) - all umlauts and special characters. The only and unfortunately also critical problem is that the key "|" does not "work", it outputs "'*" instead. On the Mac the key is on the left of spacebar, on the client on the right. I don't see how this alone could change the scancodes. But apparently it does. Because it does not work.
Is there not some UTF / Unicode version of VNC for all OS X, Windows, Linux?
Or some VNC that would handle keyboard layouts smartly, transparent to the user?
Another option, IME with RDP (MS Terminal Services, rdesktop) there is no problem with keyboard layouts. Perhaps you guys know some RDP server for OS X?

Audio volume not save and keyboard layout configuration problems

Hello all,
I needed to register again because my old account seems not to be working
After almost 2 years without Arch due to work now I'm back to Arch again.
Everything has changed... now there is Systemd and even the installation it's different so I will need some helps from the experienced users
The installation was done yesterday and I found two issues that are really annoying me.
The first one... keyboard layout... Yes it's incredibly... I only want my system in english and my keyboard in norwegian... But all are problems for that. Before telling me to read more or search for information.... I will tell you that I waster 2 hours yesterday only for that... With no success at all.
The second one... even more stupid... why my pulseaudio keep the volumen at 100%? I tried different things... but not success at all.
So please, can you help me?
I will provide all the information you need.
Thanks a lot and so happy to be back here
Best regards,
TheArcher

Hello Runical,
To be honest I was following a guide to install the system and everything works ok but according to journalctl I have some problems with pulseaudio so I guess that can be the original problem.

Greetings Johannes

I sort of had this problem for a while in a rescue usb drive I have, I couldn't make it work properly, but as root all was well (xfce was also acting a little strange as a user).
I just renamed the user home, deleted the user and created a new account, all fresh, just copied back some configs (firefox and the likes) and all was working well again ... no idea of what happened. I don't use a login manager, I just start xfce manually (it's a rescue drive I want to be able to change xorg.conf before starting X if needed).

[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Bug report: A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard

This is a bug report for Microst Remote Desktop
===================================================
## Summary
A keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote with Japanese keyboard
## Version Information, I tested
* Client
   * Case 1
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
   * Case 2
       * MacBook Pro with JIS106 Keyboard
       * Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
       * Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24308
* Remote
   * Case 1
       * Windows 7 Professional Japanese
   * Case 2
       * Windows Server 2008R2 Datacenter Japanese
   * Case 3
       * Windows Server 2012R2 Datacenter Japanese
## Detail of bug
When login from Mac OS X with Microsoft Remote Desktop, the keyboard layout is always incorrect on the remote.
The client machine have a built-in keyboard of JIS 106 layout,
and the primary language is set to Japanese.
But on the remote, the keyboard layout is US 101.
So a input of Shift+2 does not result " but @.
I've seen the above behavior on the 3 remote enviornments described the above.
This bug did not occcur with Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1, even if the system language is English and keyboard layout is Japanese.
## Captures
I've took some of screen captures.
I'm sorry for the capture includes Japanese words, so I added description in English.
Capture 1:
Mac OS X Keyboard Setting
Capture 2:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard
Capture 3:
Windows Server 2012R2 Screen Keyboard, with a additional registry key configured.

This bug also affects the Canadian English settings. If the client is set to Canadian English with a US keyboard the remote server is setup using a Canadian French keyboard. Using the language selection in the toolbar you can temporarily correct
the problem but the keyboard resets to french at the most inopportune times. The was a problem in the earlier RDP client and was fixed so it's sad to see it reoccur in the new client.

Printing, Display, ICA and keyboard issuers

Hello
I'm facing several issues with a new SGD 4 installation on a SuSe
Enterprise Server 9.
- Printing : some jobs get "stuck" and are not printed. If I try to print
another document, tarantella tells me it's ready to print (while it's not
actually). To have my documents printed, I have to log off and log on
again, and printing of the docs start automatically. It happens with any
of our printers. Printing configuration is the default one.
- Display : When connecting to a Windows desktop, display sometimes become
"distored", some parts of the scrren are not where there are supposed to
be and they are "leaned". I made some modifications in the Adaptive
Internet Protocol but with no success.
- Another problems occurs with Windows Desktop : I can't get the right
"Alt" key correctly. For instance, with a french keyboard layout, to type
"\", we must type the right "Alt" key (AltGr) and the number "8" (just
above the letters "U" and "I"). To get this working we have to type both
the left AND right "Alt" keys at the same time. Language and keyboard
layout is set up correcly within Windows.
- I can't connect to a Windows desktop using the ICA protocol. I get this
error :
ErrTransportNotAvailable
bind(7,*:1022): (13) Permission denied
Citrix is of course installed on the windows server.
Thanks a lot

I have found a workaround in this bug report.
Make a script in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard.sh
#!/bin/sh
case $1/$2 in
post/*)
echo -n rescan > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/drvctl
esac
Do not forget to make it executable:
chmod a+x /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/keyboard.sh

Khmer keyboard layout

Hello, I am trying to use the Khmer fonts and keyboard layout that came with my MacBookPro. They were available to me through the Langauge & Text preferences in Settings. My question is, how do I type the sub-consonants or feet of the consonants. They do not appear anyplace on the keyboard that I can see, so I assume it is some combination of keys that is required to type them, but I cannot figure out what that combination is. Does anyone use this font and layout? And if you do, how do you type the sub-consonants or feet? Thank you.

KarenLN616 wrote:
I had to hit the "j"at EXACTLY the same time as the consonant I wanted the sub-consonant of
That is not right. You should be able to wait as along as you want between the three keystrokes consonant -- j --consonant. It sounds like you might be trying to use MS Word for Mac. If so, I recommend you use any other app (Pages, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, OpenOffice) instead, because Word does not support Indic or SE Asian scripts correctly and will just give you a lot of trouble.
