[Bug 69725] Re: Upgrade from dapper to edgy changed Caps_Lock to Shift_Lock

shemgp, this is a different problem: see bug 84156. You can work around
it by running 'sudo setupcon' once from a console after each boot.

[Bug 69725] Re: Upgrade from dapper to edgy changed Caps_Lock to Shift_Lock

2007-05-27 Thread shemgp 
I think this issue affects feisty too.  console-
setup_1.13ubuntu13_all.deb is installed but Caps Lock still doesn't work
in the terminals.  I've tried it in a P4 machine and two laptops.  Also,
pressing Caps Lock + any letter doesn't make it capital.

my /usr/bin/ckbcomp lines 1925-1932 are:

# A hack to work around a bug in the kernel/loadkeys
# Disabled for Ubuntu because the cure is worse than the disease:
#   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/69725
# However, Turkish still needs this behaviour.
if (! $acm  grep { $_ eq 'tr' } @layouts) {
$xkbsym_table{'Caps_Lock'} = 'Shift_Lock';
$xkbsym_table{'ISO_Lock'} = 'Shift_Lock';
}

I'm using kernel Ubuntu Kernel 2.6.20-15.27

Thanks for your help.

console-setup (1.13ubuntu4) feisty; urgency=low

  * Include ro(std) in keymap tree, after talking with Eddy Petrişor.
  * Disable workaround in ckbcomp for the kernel not applying Caps Lock to
non-ASCII letters; the cure is worse than the disease because it makes
Caps Lock equivalent to Shift Lock (LP: #69725).
  * Install MyKeyboardNames.pl (built from /usr/share/X11/xkb) rather than
KeyboardNames.pl (built from the out-of-date copy in Keyboard/ckb) as
/usr/share/console-setup/KeyboardNames.pl (LP: #71864).

2006-12-05 Thread Colin Watson 
Yes, I saw that, thanks, but it's a red herring; CHARMAP is meant to be
UTF-8, and there isn't supposed to be an ACM installed for UTF-8.

Anton replied and told me (I hope he won't mind me reproducing his
comment here):

I think the only way to fix this problem is to patch the kernel.  The
problem is that when the keyboard is in Unicode mode CapsLock works only
for the ASCII letters.  For all other letters this key works only in
non-Unicode mode and unfortunately for ckbcomp it is not easy to check
whether the keyboard produces only ASCII letters.

Compare also this patch we've had in console-tools for a long time:

- 951_fix_unicode_loadkeys_capslock.patch: When loading unicode key
  maps, apply KT_LETTER to values in the range a-z or A-Z rather than
  KT_LATIN. This seems to be necessary to make Caps Lock work properly.

I can't find out anything about what this kernel/loadkeys bug might have
been. I've mailed Anton upstream to see if he remembers.

Re: [Bug 69725] Re: Upgrade from dapper to edgy changed Caps_Lock to Shift_Lock

2006-12-04 Thread eantoranz 
On a previous post I got sometime ago from the bugzilla someone had
discovered what the problem was about I think. Let me write it
here for you (in case you haven't gotten it):


from Gary Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Nov 6
Looking through various scripts (ckbcomp in particular), I found out
that the problem was caused by the entry of

CHARMAP=UTF-8

in /etc/default/console-setup, while a corresponding UTF-8.acm.gz does
not exist in /usr/share/consoletrans/ as chkcomp was expecting.  If I
change the CHARMAP to use a different encoding that does exist in  this
directory, such as

CHARMAP=ISO-8859-1

then the problem is fixed once you reboot or restart /etc/init.d
/console-setup.

So, I don't know where the bug is...  somehow my Edgy was installed with
UTF-8 specified for the console encoding, but the file
/usr/share/consoletrans/UTF-8.acm.gz was not installed.



That's what he wrote. Hope it helps you solve the problem.
