 |
|
I'm frequently annoyed with Danish translations, so I decided to try the locale en_DK.utf-8.
When X starts, I get an English keyboard layout.
No problem , I think; setxkbmap to the rescue.
| ~/.xinitrc wrote: | | setxkbmap -layout dk |
This does give me Danish keyboard layout, but with a lot of letters missing and no deadkeys and no compose key.
Okayyyy, let's try xmodmap.
| xmodmap -pke | grep -i aring (the Danish letter å) wrote: |
keycode 34 = aring Aring aring Aring dead_diaeresis dead_abovering dead_diaeresis
|
so why won't it show?
| xev wrote: | KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
root 0x174, subw 0x0, time 1934060, (493,-112), root:(1457,440),
state 0x0, keycode 34 (keysym 0xe5, aring), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False |
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf wrote: |
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
Option "XkbModel" "logicd"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rctrl,eurosign:e"
EndSection |
With locale da_DK.utf-8 everything works.
I'm using autologin, with systemd running startx; but it also happens when I try gdm.

It seems that, although glibc supports the locale en_DK, libX11 doesn't.
I found two suggestions:
[*] Use LANG=da_DK.utf8 & LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
[*] Use LANG=en_DK.utf8 & LC_CTYPES=en_US.utf8
I'm going to experiment with those tomorrow.
It would be so much nicer if one could just use eselect locale.
Now I have to fiddle, and worse - remember where I did it.
By the way; is /etc/locale.conf not used any more?
Edit: both suggestions work, but the second is the most consistent imo.
I added this to /etc/profile | Code: |
if [ "${LANG}" = "en_DK.utf8" ] ; then
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
fi |

I only recently found out about that brilliant concept of user patches,
and decided that it would present a much cleaner solution.
Here is my /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/libX11/libX11-en_DK.patch,
in case that others want to us the locale en_DK.

I get an error when I trying to apply the patch.
Here is the first of the libX11-en_DK.patch.out file.

It patches fine for me. Maybe it's a copy paste problem.
You could try my patch on Dropbox (public) |

I fixed the problem, something about that I needed to make the patch
from a directory deeper down. |

Isomorph ... the '-p{N}' (prefix), or '--strip={N}' passed (-p0) means that no part of the path is stripped when atempting to apply the patch. So, from the directory in which the patch is applied it will look to applying in 'libX11-1.5.0/nls/' but as your (probably) in libX11-1.5.0/ a '-p1' was needed to strip that part of the path from the patch.
best ... khay |

I still have this in my bootup messages(from /var/log/rc.log), did you guys solve that too.
| Code: |
/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_DK.UTF-8)
