|
|
Hi,
I followed http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml. Now, however, in the terminals pressing german umlaut keys on the keyboard lead to 2-byte strange symbols.
At boot time I get this message:
Code: | * Loading key mappings...
loadkeys: warning: this map uses Unicode symbols
(perhaps you want to do `kbd_mode -u'?) |
Any idea what went wrong here?

Meanwhile I added Code: | /usr/bin/kbd_mode -u | at the right place in Code: | /etc/init.d/keymaps |
The error message at boot is gone. However, in the terminals I still get strange symbols when pressing the umlaut keys on the keyboard.
FYI: I am getting right sybols when using X applications like sylpheed, scite; openoffice however has the same problem like the terminals. The use flags and all config files are set according to the utf8 manual mentioned above.
How do I make xterm and openoffice display the umlaut keys correctly?

Thanks.
AFAIK the entries in rc.conf are obsolete?
And, I am having these keyboard problems also in a non-X console, so xorg.conf won't help here, I beleve.
Hm... |

If it only happens on X its either xorg.conf or your Desktopk manager keybord settings, try checking if you use gnome check fgnome-conctrl-center, if kde check kcontrol you may find there the solution . _________________ Flatland Life is a Choice !

Thanks, but it is *NOT* only happening in X. It also happens on the login console before X is started . So, it must be a general thing...
Still no idea. |

I need the "de" layout, but with utf8 support.
Like it is said in the mentioned gentoo utf8 manual I set KEYBOARD="-u de" in /etc/conf.d/keymaps, no success... |

Thanks to both of you, however de-latin1 is even worse. At boot it tells me that this keymap would be not valid for uft8 (I don't remember the exact words)... So, maybe this is I hint for you: If I use my 3 umlaut keys right here in my browser window, I get: which is correct. If I then do the same in xterm Code: | echo "äöü" > test.txt # umlauts are not ok, I can't show you the effect | and paste text.txt here in the message board I get again the right umlauts:
What does that mean?? It must be something trivial I think! |

Same here as fctk but for a Spanish keyboard layout. My configuration files look exactly like his', but with "es" instead of "it".
In my case, I get no accented letters (like áéíóú) in Konsole, not Kate, nor KWord, nor any other KDE program.
However, I can type them in Firefox (from where I'm wrting this), or AbiWord, or even xterm.
Regarding xterm, when I typed this: Code: | ~/Desktop $ cat áéíóú > áéñ.txt
cat: áéíóú: No existe el fichero o el directorio |
I got an *empty* file named áéñ.txt in my desktop, even though xterm says the file does not exist.
Does anyone know what is happening? |

I don't understand what you mean by that. I already have "/usr/bin/kbd_mode -u" in my /etc/init.d/keymaps: Code: | ...
# Set terminal encoding to either ASCII or UNICODE.
# See utf-8(7) for more information.
local termencoding="" termmsg=""
if [[ ${UNICODE} == "yes" ]] ; then
local dumpkey_opts=""
[[ -n ${DUMPKEYS_CHARSET} ]] && dumpkey_opts="-c ${DUMPKEYS_CHARSET}"
/usr/bin/kbd_mode -u
dumpkeys ${dumpkey_opts} | loadkeys --unicode
termencoding=$'\033%G'
termmsg="UTF-8"
else
termencoding=$'\033(K'
termmsg="ASCII"
fi
... |
but the error at boot time Code: | loadkeys: warning: this map uses Unicode symbols
(perhaps you want to do `kbd_mode -u'?) | still springs up.
BTW, I can type accented characters at the KDM login window, but not inside KDE programs once I'm logged in, as I stated in my previous post. |

I use swedish fonts and keymaps with utf-8 without trouble. Here is my config:
/etc/conf.d/consolefont
Code: | CONSOLEFONT="lat0-16"
CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-1_to_uni"
|
/etc/conf.d/keymaps
Code: | KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes"
EXTENDED_KEYMAPS=""
DUMPKEYS_CHARSET=""
|
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/env.d
Code: | LANG="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="sv_SE.UTF-8"
|
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
EndSection
|
And my /etc/init.d/keymaps is completely unchanged. Relying on changing it may break stuff if you're not very carefull with rc-update.
Does your config differ? If it does, would you try to change into settings similar to mine - and see what they yield? _________________ /Ibn |

Thanks, Ibn al-Hazardous. I've been out of town for the weekend.
I checked my files. Here are the results.
My /etc/con.d/consolefont: Code: | CONSOLEFONT="lat9w-16"
CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-1_to_uni" |
My /etc/con.d/keymaps: Code: | KEYMAP="es"
SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes"
EXTENDED_KEYMAPS="backspace keypad euro"
DUMPKEYS_CHARSET="" |
My /etc/rc.conf:
My /etc/env.d/02locale: Code: | LC_ALL="es_ES@euro.UTF-8"
LANG="es_ES@euro.UTF-8"
LINGUAS="en es" |
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
Option "XkbVariant" "extended"
EndSection |
My /etc/init.d/keymaps is also unchanged.
As you can see, they don't differ significantly from yours. However, I still can't type accented letters. The problem itself is with deadkeys in KDE applications and StarOffice.
As I said, I can type deadkeys in xterm and non-KDE applications. In fact, I've just started xterm and typed the following: Code: | cat áéúñ.txt >> áñ~ü.txt |
But to type that inside Konsole is impossible right now for me. However, If I drag the áñ~ü.txt file inside Konsole and choose paste, I get this: Code: | '/home/user/Desktop/áñ~ü.txt' |
As you can see, the application is able to correctly display the characters, as well as the other KDE applications. I just can't type the accented characters inside them, nor in StarOffice.
Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Well, it seems to me your settings are as they should, so the next step is probably to check the misbehaving programs.
If you start a KDE-program from a terminal, you'll get your error messages/warnings there. Check if you get any messages regarding locale, also check if you get any error output when you use dead keys.
Also, it might be a good idea to check Xorg.0.log - if you haven't already.

Well, it seems I finally figured it out thanks to your suggestions.
When I started a KDE app from Konsole, I could see some complaints about the X server not supporting the locale. Same for StarOffice. As a side note, the output of a "locale -a" command is: Code: | $ locale -a
C
en_IE@euro
en_US
en_US.utf8
es_ES
es_ES@euro
es_ES@euro.UTF-8
es_ES.utf8
es_ES.utf8@euro
POSIX
$ |
As you can see, I have both es_ES@euro.UTF-8 and es_ES.utf8@euro. Since I had chosen es_ES@euro.UTF-8 for my /etc/env.d/02locale, and it seemingly was not working, I decided to give es_ES.utf8@euro a shot. And I chose wisely
With es_ES.utf8@euro in my LC_ALL I could finally type accented characters inside KDE apps. However, there were still some drawbacks. StartOffice was still moaning about i18n not recognizing the locale. Also, three locales set through LC_ALL were still having problems: LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES and LC_COLLATE. They just couldn't be set to es_ES.utf8@euro
So, I finally decided to try just es_ES@euro, without any utf8 in its name definition, the way it was before following the Gentoo guide to change my system to UTF-8 . This time, I chose even wiselier (can I say that? ) Now, I'm able to type deadkeys in every program I've tried, including StarOffice. No more complaints about locales.
But I have some questions:
1) What's the difference between es_ES.utf8@euro and es_ES@euro.UTF-8?
2) Why did es_ES.utf8@euro partially work, whilst es_ES@euro.UTF-8 failed?
3) Why does es_ES@euro work better than es_ES.utf8@euro?
4) Why does the guide suggest to choose an aa_AA.UTF-8 as the value for LC_ALL?
5) Is my system really using UTF-8?
I really don't know what's really going on here. Any explanation will be greatfully received. |

I don't have answers for all of your questions - I'll give it a shot:
1-2) No idea. Developer/standards confusion maybe?
3) IIRC the .utf8 version is mangled the way glibc wants it. It's not standard - but since glibc will mangle it that way even if you write UTF-8 (which is standard notation), it sometimes work.
4) Probably the guide is not euro aware?
5) I don't think so.
I have a suggestion. Try es_ES.UTF-8@euro and see if that works better (the difference is that the utf-part is left unmangled).
Anyway, if that doesn't work - you're probably better off waiting for a more mature unicode implementation. _________________ /Ibn |

4) I didn't explain it very well, it seems. I wanted to know why the guide recommended xx_XX[@euro].UTF-8 instead of xx_XX.utf8[@euro], that is, why UTF-8 over utf8, but you clarified this to me with the answer to 3).
I tried your new suggestion. It seems to work, except for StarOffice, and I get a confusing answer from a "locale" command: Code: | $ '/home/user/staroffice7/program/swriter'
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale ""
$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8@euro
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8@euro"
LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8@euro
$ |
So, the behavior is the same as that for es_ES.utf8@euro. It seems the @euro tag must be attached after the UTF 8 indication.
Finally, it does not matter if I set my LC_ALL to es_ES.euro or es_ES.[UTF 8 whatever]@euro. When the system is booting, I can see this: Code: | * Setting terminal encoding to UTF-8 ... [ ok ] |
That's why I think my system is using UTF 8 even if I set LC_ALL to es_ES.euro. Besides, I have UTF-8 as default in my kernel, as well as userlocales, utf and unicode as USE flags.
Am I wrong? |

I'm a bit puzzled about what file or directory it is complaining about. If you check in /usr/lib/locale/es_ES[.utf8] you should have LC_MESSAGES and LC_CTYPE, but I don't know about LC_ALL. Are you sure you got the same output with es_ES.utf8@euro for these three messages?

Finally, it does not matter if I set my LC_ALL to es_ES.euro or es_ES.[UTF 8 whatever]@euro. When the system is booting, I can see this: Code: | * Setting terminal encoding to UTF-8 ... [ ok ] |
That's why I think my system is using UTF 8 even if I set LC_ALL to es_ES.euro. Besides, I have UTF-8 as default in my kernel, as well as userlocales, utf and unicode as USE flags.
Am I wrong? |
Well, I am some way out on thin ice now. But I think these messages are supposed to mean that you have unicode support, not unicode locale. It could be that es_ES defaults to UTF-8 when unicode support is enabled, instead of ISO-8859-1 - but I'm not quite sure.
Lastly, I'm not sure about staroffice settings. Could it be that it is just staroffice that is confused, and need some extra attention? _________________ /Ibn |

You either must have patience or contribute to open source. There is only one guaranteed way to have open source do what you want it to do, and that's write it yourself. |
