Gnome3 keyboard layout icon disappeared [SOLVED]

Hello guys.
I'm using Gnome3 and have no idea how to edit applets in the panel of gnome-shell.
The problem is that I don't have keyboard layout icon in panel(With or without useFlags option set in gconf-editor). How can i fix it?
And BTW does anyone have problem with switching layout with caps lock key? It just doesn't switch layout.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks in advance.

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?

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.

Cinnamon keyboard layout [solved]

I've just installed cinnamon and looks great. Except I can't see where to set the keyboard layout. There doesn't seem to be a keyboard layout icon on the panel and if I go into cinnamon settings->keyboard all I get are a couple of tabs saying Typing and Keyboard Shortcuts but no keyboard layout? And ideas please? Many thanks

Keyboard layout switching does not work if I connect a second keyboard

When I connect an external keyboard (a very ordinary Dell keyboard, no extra keys or something unusual) to my laptop, XFCE keyboard layout switcher disappears from a the and keyboard shortkut meant to switch also does not work. Rebooting with the keyboard initially attached does not help. Any ideas how to fix?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Does anyone know how to make an icon for a new keyboard layout?

I have added a couple of keyboard layouts to my input sources and would dearly provide them with distinctive icons, but all icon makers I find on the net seem to cater to PCs only.

Going to the App Store, there is a link for support. That takes me to a facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friendly-for-Netflix/
Which when I lookup the info, takes me to:
http://www.oecoway.com/
Since there are no support links on the latter link, I would just message the owner of the Facebook page and tell them of your troubles. If they are non-responsive, you may want to just as the App Store reverse the charge, with the feedback that the developer is non-responsive to user questions. If it is functional for the $5 you paid, just keep it, and hope for an update you can use.

Keyboard layout indicator in gnome panel, red icon instead of letters

See the image, red round icon is the keyboard notification, but it shoud be ( or was ) letters.
Any idea how to change the icon back to letters? I have 2 layouts, changing gtk theme or icon theme doesn't help.
Thanks.

The mic icon disappeared on my iPhone 4 keyboard how do I get it back

The mic icon disappeared on my iPhone 4 keyboard how do I get it back?

Should be Siri microphone. Go to Settings>>General>>Siri and turn Siri on.
But in your signature says you have iPhone 4, right? Just iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 have Siri (just talking about iPhones, ok?! I know that iPad and iPods also have this).

[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.

[SOLVED] setting X keyboard layout

Hello!
I would like to set my X "keyboard layout" as is dictated here.
I created a file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-tipkovnica.conf" which i wrote like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "si"
Option "XkbVariant" "alternatequotes"
EndSection
When i wrote this i tried to check if it works, but when i type in command
setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
i get an error:
Setting verbose level to 10
Cannot open display "default display"
How can i solve this?

I thought so. That's why it's not working. You need to be in X (that's what "Cannot open display default display" means).
Thank you and LOL about the REPORT. Sorry moderator.

[SOLVED] Can't change keyboard Layout on Xorg 1.8

Hi all
I'm trying to configure the Input Hot-plugging on Xorg 1.8 but the keyboard layout is still on US keyboard and I need to change it.
I use some of the configurations of some people of the forum but it still on US, now my 10-evdev-conf file is like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboards Defaults"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "latam"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
If there are a similar topic, Can you put the link?
Thanks

Sorry, but i found the problem, I saved 10-evdev.conf as 10-evdev-conf, and here is my code
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse-all" ## to use a PS/2 mouse :P
MatchIsPointer "on"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
so I hope that someone can use this solve

[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?

I don't see it in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts, so I guess that means yes. Maybe you can see if you can pull an old kbd package from the Arch Rollback Machine and stick the layout in there (and maybe the font too... not sure how that works).

[Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
Did I miss some config file?
For the sake of clarity:
1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
4)
$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Thanks for any help.

cfr wrote:Have you tried specifying a variant?
I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

[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!

Custom keyboard layout and Gnome3

After moving back to my native Sweden I find that the local keyboard is a pain to use for programming (mainly it's the locations of '{[]}' that are painful). I'm stuck with Swedish keyboards at work, it's mostly laptops so using an external keyboard is not an ideal solution. Currently my solution is to run the following script
#! /bin/bash
# load XKB, if there is one
XKBDIR=${HOME}/.xkb
XKBMAPFILE=${XKBDIR}/keymap/$(hostname)
if [[ -f ${XKBMAPFILE} ]]; then
xkbcomp -I${XKBDIR} ${XKBMAPFILE} ${DISPLAY} &> /dev/null
fi
and then put the desired layout changes under ~/.xkb/. I've then created a .desktop and put it in ~/.config/autostart to run the script on login. The only problem with this is that the changed layout doesn't survive putting the laptop to sleep or hibernating it.
I'd love to get suggestions for better solutions, solutions that survive sleep/hibernate.

But how can I edit this file to extract an Spanish.keylayout ?? And be able to create a custom keyboard layout ??
Don't mess with those files. Just get Ukelele, it comes with copies of what you need:
