Seems like this is a bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/673527

try and report your specific hardware as well to kind of help in the
bug squashing

**
General question to all 11.04 users - how many are facing this problem

I installed 11.04 version of Mint Linux Mint 11) on a Samsung Netbook
and have found no problems

any idea if this bug could have missed (or got rectified ) in other
Ubuntu deriviatives

In the login screen (if you have disabled login screen, you can
Logout, and you will get login screen).
When you click on your username, you will see some options in a bar at
the bottom of the screen. Chose Ubuntu Classic from (i think) the
middle menu there, type your password, and login. You will be reverted
to the GNOME shell.

Hope that works for you,

You need a pascal compiler.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages

2011-06-23 Thread KBS Ramachandra 

Thanks for all the help.

For now, I figured the convenient way of typing Kannada in 
transliteration anywhere in the system (which is my preference)

Just giving a gist here ::

  1. Setup SCIM
  2. Installed Kannada, Hindi and many other languages
  3. Under IMEngine -> Global Setup, Selected a hot key  
 for *Kannada -> iTrans*
  4. Selected a hot key   for English -> en-ispell
  5. Selected a hot key   for *Hindi -> iTrans*

Now,

To enable SCIM input method, I press  . If pressed again, 
SCIM is disabled and the keyboard input method defaults to IBus
To enable Kannada within SCIM, I press   and *whatever I type 
is trans-literated to Kannada*.
To enable Hindi within SCIM mode, I press  . *Whatever I type 
is now trans-literated to Hindi*

To enable English withing SCIM, I press  
Similarly, I could type in numerous other languages by mapping hot-keys 
for those languages
To disable SCIM and enable the default iBus input method, I need to 
press  


Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
Ramachandra

Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages

2011-06-23 Thread Vividh Aditya 
I installed some keyboard layouts and would prefer India Hindi Bolnagri, 
which is very similar to Takhti. Found it easy. Yet I cannot get to 
write for example "Ainak/aidee" or "Aurat/aukhlee" The keyboard layout 
shows E and O, assigned, but only allow to put the maatra rather than 
the akshar itself.

Any help would be useful.

Surender

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed email -- I was a bit weary of
trying out things for a different version, but you seem to have
explained everything well and I would be happy to try it, and possibly
update instructions for Natty. However, the problem on the friend's
machine managed to fix itself in a rather strange fashion: I switched
from the Unity Desktop Shell to just using Gnome Classic, and then
network manager seemed to connect without problem. This seems totally
strange to me and I would have to do some more testing to confirm that
this is the case and not something else silly that I was doing.

Anyways, for now issue resolved by using Gnome (selecting Ubuntu
Classic at the login screen for 11.04) :-/ - will try and do some
follow-up debugging when I have access to the friend's machine and try
and confirm this behaviour.

In scim, you can configure additional languages support and specific layouts
(inscript, various phonetic layouts) for each language.
A good reference to this would be  wikipedia article on scim[1].

If you can setup  xkeyboard [2], you do not need to depend on scim/ibus for
inputting if your preference is inscript.

By selecting your language duing install time (from 11.04 for 10 indian
languages), xkeyboard is setup automatically.


Hope the above helps

Copy pasted from a mail on the list from a few days back (subject line
"hindi fonts in Ubuntu")

To enable typing in your language of choice go to
System -> Preferences ->Keyboard

The go to LAYOUTS - Add

In Add you will be able to choose Country (India) and Variant (as in
which specific indian language you need and which type of keyboard)
For Inscript Hindi (keyboard layout attached) choose india or other
hindi variants choose what ever you like.

You can also print the Keyboard Layout for the menu option on the bottom left.

Once this is done go back and then go to layout options - here you can
select a combination of keys that moves between your default language
layout (i presume us english) and the other language(s) you may be
added. On my latop the right menu key is for hindi and the left
windows button is for english - so it just becomes another few keys to
use as part of my typing routine  आसान naa. This will work system wide
and one can even use it to make user names / passwords, folders,
files, type in every conceivable software (i think) in your language
of choice.

Further you can right click on your desktop tool bar and add keyboard
layout short cut to the panel. (in recent Ubuntu versions in appears
once you select more than one layout)
