Hello

How can I customize my keyboard layout to Brazilian ASCII2? Previous version of Kanotix it was simple, just right click over current language selection on right bottom screen, choose configure, and a screen was shown with available layouts. Kanotix 2006-1 RC1 seems missing this choice because available layouts came empty. The configured keyboard layouts are for us, de and fr.

Thanks

Well I would like to know a fix too, as it is on a dist-updated hd install too... Did you see a Debian bug about it?

Thanks, Kano. I didn't see any Debian bug. Tried Kanotix Easter and it works fine there. Requested Layout = Brazil, Keymap = br, Variant = abnt2 was there. I thought that a command line like "setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout br -variant abnt2" could do the trick, I don't know.

Well, don't want to go back Easter version just to have kbd fix.

Thank you.

"good" (sort of) to know this is a general problem - i thought i had screwed up my config somehow. does anyone know how (and where) to install the missing keyboard layouts?

Well... think I have found a fix...
As a normal user (not root) I typed in a console terminal the following command:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout br -variant abnt2

It worked out in a terminal window with Brazilian keyboard and also inside Thunderbird. Now I must find out how to have this command line automatically loaded after each boot. Anyone to tell me a shortcut?

Thanks you all

that won't work for me - i need (want, really) to be able to switch back and forth between keyboards and languages within the same document.

i think the layouts are actual files, and all that's needed is to get the files and put them in some folder

anyone know what and where?

OK, here is the fix:

Code:

rm -rf /etc/X11/xkb

and now you should be able to configure any keyboard layout you want from within Control Center
