[HELP] rc.conf configuration - English System, with French keyboard

Hi
I just finished the first part of the Arch installation.
I'm a french user, and I want to do something different than the last installation
I would use my system (TTY, Desktop environment in ENGLISH) but I want use my french keyboard (Azerty).
Also, I have some files (music, movie) who contains special caracters like "é,ç,è" and I would be able to play theses files using VLC, Sonata...
I've looked the wiki, and i'm curently configuring my rc.conf but I don't know what put in.
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="US/Eastern"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
Can you help me ? Gives me the right thing to add my rc.conf please ?
Does the lines CONSOLEFONT, LOCALE, & CONSOLEMAP depend on my keyboard configuration ?
Also need help to configure the locale.gen file
Sorry for my english, I don't speak english well :S

I use the same setup, and I found the archlinux.fr wiki to be really helpful.
I have those set in rc. conf :
KEYMAP="fr-latin9"
CONSOLEFONT="lat9w-16"
Then just read through those two pages, they contain everything you need. Just skip the parts about setting the french locale and such.

    If I swith to american language Alt+[ it works fine.
    I don't understand
    I someone in the same configuration could help me
    Thank you

    Alvanh - I had similar problems with a German keyboard. Try installing the script called Keyed Up. This will let you change shortcuts at will, and should allow you to find replacements on a French keyboard that work. It can be found here:

  • How can I use premiere pro cc in english language with german keyboard layout/german shortcuts on a mac?

    Hi,
    how is it possible to use a german keyboard with its german shortcuts on premiere pro cc in english language on a mac?
    I use all my softwares in english.
    But aside adobe I can use or change in other softwares (Avid, FCP7, FCPX) to use german keyboard shortcuts on a german logic keyboard.
    With After Effects CC I could add a german .txt to a language folder to the installed english version and tataaa:
    I could use german keyboard and the german shortcuts on an english installed AE CC.
    And in PS there is also a trick.
    But in Premiere Pro CC this language .txt doesn´t exist.
    And there are many shortcuts that differ from english to german.
    Last Job I worked on a PC with the english installed language version, and I could work with the german QWERTZ Logickeyboard
    and use the german shortcuts.
    I googled and googled and even talked to the support. But no real helpful answer.
    Maybe it was easier to do in Premiere CS6. Was it possible there?
    So how is it possible to use a german keyboard QWERTZ with german shortcuts on Premiere Pro CC in english language on a mac?
    Thanks for your help.

    I'd also love to have the answer on this.
    It's really bothering. All Training material is in english and I have setup my complete system with all apps in english.
    With all the apps shortcuts work just fine, just with Premiere Pro CC it doesn't do it at all .....
    Please fix this!

  • Help needed to configure H-REAP with local switching

    Hi All,
    We are using following devices for campus Wi-fi.
    1. WLC - 4402
    2. AP (1131ag, 1042n) which support H-REAP.
    I want to configure HREAP central auth and local switching. I have enabled from local to HREAP after that I go to HREAP tab and native vlan 1 (by default)(I have changed native vlan 1 to 51.) vlan support is enabled. then click on vlan mapping and my wlan (guestwlan) is there with vlan id 24.
    I have assigned static IP to AP (192.168.51.40/24 gw 192.168.51.254).
    DHCP is running on controller.
    switch port configure is below:
    interface FastEthernet0/18
    description WiFi access point
    switchport trunk native vlan 51
    switchport mode trunk
    no ip address
    end
    Issue : authentication done through RADIUS (Cisco ACS 4.2) but no getting IP address from DHCP.
    Please help.
    Thanks in Adv.
    Thanks,
    AS

    Hi AS,
    Do not use the DHCP on the WLC.
    Use a DHCP on the neighbor swtich if possible for the native VLAN.

  • Help needed to configure WVC54GC cam with BEFW11S4 router:

    OK...I have to admit that I'm finally having to ask for help!  I'm handy with most computer problems, but i.p. addresses, port forwarding and dns stuff is kinda over my head.  I need someone to walk me through the steps.  I've got the camera setup to the point that I can view the image in the Linksys setup, but I want to be able to share it on the net.  I'm stumped with how to do this.  I'm told I need to forward ports on my router etc.  I've been into the router settings and there is no "gaming tab" as is suggested, but I can find port settings under advanced, although they look different. 
    I've also setup an account with DynDNS updater,as I'm told I'll need this to maintain a connection.  The settings in there are equally as daunting, so any help here would also be beer worthy....LOL!
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
    Cheers!

    Once you login to your Router setup Page.... on the Very Right Side you need to click on the Advance Tab  and then you need to click on the Forwarding Tab and Below you can Open the Ports for your Camera.

    Could you please be more specific? Since I cannot use my MacBook's optical drive, I assume you mean by using my Macbook Pro to do this, right? MacBook installation DVD cannot be booted on MacBook Pro.

  • Accents with french keyboard azerty

    I would like to know how to use the accents with a french azerty Keyboard. Has somebody found the solution?

    I see that many of the common uses are upfront on the keyboard.
    To use the circumflex (to the right of P) and grave (to the right of ù), press the accent key, then the letter that goes under it.
    For tilde, press ⌥ (alt or opt) +n simultaneously, release and type the letter to go under it.

  • Using sysprep with french keyboard

    I have a big problem when doing a sysprep with intel based macs under windows xp. By default in french, we have the french(canada) keyboard installed. When I install bootcamp drivers, it gives me the canada multilingual driver from apple which fits with the apple keyboard. When I do the sysprep with the right syntax for the apple keyboard (code the codes from the registry) :
    [RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=1
    SystemLocale=00000c0c
    UserLocale=00000c0c
    InputLocale=0c0c:a0000c0c
    It reverts back to french canada instead of giving me canada multilingual.
    I don't want to change the keyboard mapping on all the computers, I have 120 iMacs to install!
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    A PC keyboard will work fine on the Mini. The Windows key is Command key, and the Alt key is the Options key.
    I first tried a Belkin ergonomic PC keyboard that had USB ports on the keyboard. I switched to the Apple keyboard because the Belkin's keys were hard to press, and often the character was missed even though I pressed the key.
    While I REALLY prefer the ergonomic style of keyboard, the Apple keyboard does have the volume up/down keys and CD/DVD eject key.

  • Help.  iMac won't start with Bluetooth keyboard

    Hi, iMac has decided to quit on me. It kept going to the grey screen of death at startup and triedd resetting everything. Nothing worked until I unplugged everything and noticed when I shut the Bluetooth keyboard off, only did it start up but much slower than normal. Any ideas or suggestions on whats going on? Basically, everytime I restart my computer, I need to make sure the keyboard is shut off and it still loads very very slow. Thank you.

    Hi, Warren

    slow loading/running is sometimes connected with too little memory? how much do you have, and is it sufficient? (have a look at the Activity Monitor).

  • MacBook Pro with AZERTY keyboard in Hong Kong

    I will be travelling to Hong Kong next week.
    Can I buy there a MacBook pro with french keyboard (Azerty)?
    In the apple store, it seems not possible to configure this keyboard as a hardware option.
    In the US store it is possible
    thx,
    K

    What kind of problem that make me can not ask the store directly? Even me, I couldn't imagine the reason but I'm surprised how your doubt come. Actually, whatever I think it's my privacy.
    Anyway, I tried finding inquiry form or customer support email on the Hong Kong online store page but I couldn't find anything. I think if there're anyone got an experience about this here, no matter he/she will work for retail store/Apple store or not. (or only store representator can answer this question?) The opinion could be varity from the people, I think. But it looks like I just answer from this community representator. No one have more idea or think different.
    I see the way your thinking, um...community....real community..? help me a lot?

  • Possible to buy a Macbook with Danish keyboard in US Stores?

    Now I'm living in Denmark, therefore I don't know whether it's possible to buy a MacBook with Danish keyboard in US.
    The price - for let's say the new Retina - in US is $2199 while it costs nearly $3099 in Europe.
    The saving is nice. The only problem is the keyboard - so is it possible to configure a MB with another keyboard in the stores?

    Hi. I loooked into this myself a few years ago when I was living in Denmark (Charlottenlund) and I was never able to find an acceptable workaround. Apple would refer me to the Danish Apple Store for the part and it ended up being cheaper just to buy the machine in Denmark.
    I don't recall if the Danish keyboard is substantially different from other European keyboards. Example, maybe the French keyboard could be added as a CTO, then hand-carried into DK with your carryon.
    I also recall some specific difficulties shipping the unit vs. hand-carrying across the Atlantic. Every once in a while something would get opened up and there were penalties and taxes added to the import. Very frustrating.

  • Pre-ordering Macbook Pro with Norwegian keyboard for US pickup - possible??

    If I pre-order/pre-pay a new Macbook Pro (Retina) for pickup in the US, is it possible to get it fitted with a norwegian keyboard? When buying online I only see the options for English, Spanish and French keyboards.

    Well, there not really any way I can in direct contact with them without calling them, which is not an option for me where I'm currently based. The potential pick-up stores themselves do not have emails listed on their page either..
    Is there any official helpline from apple which is email-based??

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.
