[Bug 1299829] Re: keyboard for Bambara not usable : name in evdev.xml points to Malayalam.

2014-08-14 Thread Benno Schulenberg
Hello Jean-Jacques,

Ehm... how to say this...  The filename 'ml' for Bambara layouts is
correct.  The filenames in the symbols/ directory follow country codes,
not language codes.  See for example the files for Kenia and Tanzania
(symbols/ke and symbols/tz) which both contains layouts for Swahili
(swa).  There is no sw of swa file, so there should be no bm file
either.  You should rename your bm file to ml again.  It will then still
not work, because somewhere hidden there is a mistaken redirect from ml
to in(mal), but that has been fixed in xkeyboard-config and should be
fixed in the next release of Ubuntu.

However, in comment #10 you say that the current Bambara layouts are old and 
need to be fixed.  Could you please file a new bug upstream and post your 
up-to-date ml file (renamed from bm) here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config
Just that layouts file, no need for evdev.xml or anything else.  The bare file, 
not zipped or compressed.

there seems to be a problem with Bambara keyboard settings.

Copy-pasted from the original bug-report:

I am dong research in africa, languages, I have little knowledge about 
Linux/Ubuntu.
I have been implementing bambara keyboards for Windows and Mac OSX (with 
Ukelele).

A year ago I noticed that I could not use the keyboard for Bambara, apparently 
it was giving access to a strange asian language.
Since then, my Ubuntu computer is updated regularly, it now runs Ubuntu 13.10

I spent a lot of time yesterday, I share what I found :

1) the  in rules/edvdev.xml for this keyboard is "ml"
this code is actually the one for a language called Malayalam, spoken in 
Kerala, south of India. Nothing to do with West Africa, and it's this language 
alphabet which is displayed when a user selects the Bambara keyword.
I changed it to "bm", which is the ISO 639-1 code. (I changed also the ! layout 
section in evdev.lst)

2) the "ml" file in symbols is actually for Bambara! Some of the keys defined 
are obsolete, it does not align with the keys used by other SIL.org keyboard, 
but it is for bambara. I copied this file into a file called "bm" and renamed 
"ml" as "ml-old"
I updated the bm file to align it to the SIL standards.

This fixed it... only partially :
the Malayalam keyboard does not display any longer when I select Bambara. I 
does now display the bambara keyboard.
But : it still displays the one defined in the old "ml" file, not the one I 
corrected in the "bm" file!!!

I messed up, restarted several times, to no avail : still the old obsolete 
keyboard.
The only thing that works is that I can now use the keyboard variant which is 
defined in my "bm" as "French (Mali, alternative)" with my new keys definitions.
When I add the basic "Bambara" keyboard, it displays the old layout. In the 
drop down list of keyboard at the top right of the screen, it is there... but 
greyed out.
"French (Mali, alternative)" is OK for my personal use, but my objective is to 
make it available generally as "Bambara".

Please help. Of cours I'm OK to supply the "bm" file

THANKS for progressing this. HINT : I work at INALCO which is the
biggest Language teaching University in France: Languages from all over
the world, attended by over 9,000 students.

The library (BULAC) runs hundreds of workstations, all under Ubuntu.

Switching keyboards here is done several times a day as students change seats !
Fixing the issue for Bambara will be very welcome !

identifying the right package
I followed through the doc for this, the only thing I could try was
terminal: xprop WM_CLASS
that only says "gnome-control-center"
terminal: locate -b "\[executable name]"
did not report anything

that's actually one of the elements under system preferences (in French: 
"Paramètres système"
under text input methods (in French "Saisie de texte")
but as I said : it's not a bug in there, the bug is in the data supplied in 
rules\evdev.xml and \symbols file

2014-03-30 Thread Jean-Jacques Méric
Hi there
I have made a little progress understanding why my changes do not take place.
in fact, it works all right (almost)
- le bm keyboard is no longer greyed out if the labels in the bm file, 
evdev.xml and evdev.lst are aligned
I made them all "Bambara (Mali)" and "French (Mali, Bambara)"-this is better 
than "French (Mali, alternative)" !
and "it works"
- the last thing that does not work is the dispay of layout of the keyboard : 
it still show the old layout sa defined the "ml" file... but it works  ok as 
defined in the new corrected "bm" file

I'm attaching the files (zipped) that go under X11/KBD/rules (evdev.xml
and evdev.lst)  and X11/KBD/symbols (bm)

at the minute I still have a problem with the ALTGR+, which sould
produce a GRAVE ACCENT (U0060) but still gives the former definition of
the key : bizarely, change takes time!

2) the "ml" file in symbols is actually for Bambara! Some of the keys defined 
are obsolete, it does not align with the keys used by other SIL.org keyboard, 
but it is for bambara. I copied this file into a file called "bm" and renamed 
"ml" as "ml-old"
I updated the bm file to align it to the SIL standards.

This fixed it... only partially : 
the Malayalam keyboard does not display any longer when I select Bambara. I 
does now display the bambara keyboard.
But : it still displays the one defined in the old "ml" file, not the one I 
corrected in the "bm" file!!!

I messed up, restarted several times, to no avail : still the old obsolete 
keyboard. 
The only thing that works is that I can now use the keyboard variant which is 
defined in my "bm" as "French (Mali, alternative)" with my new keys 
definitions. 
When I add the basic "Bambara" keyboard, it displays the old layout. In the 
drop down list of keyboard at the top right of the screen, it is there... but 
greyed out.
"French (Mali, alternative)" is OK for my personal use, but my objective is to 
make it available generally as "Bambara".

Please help. Of cours I'm OK to supply the "bm" file
