[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 92652] Re: Please add Microsoft compatible keyboard layout for Brazil

2016-02-27 Thread Marco Paganini
I still get many people asking me how to fix this behavior in Linux. Since this bug is now nine years old and there seems to be no interest in providing a "proper" fix, I've created a small shell script that should configure your system to generate a cedilla c on '+c: https://github.com/marcopagan

This problem hit me hard today. Problems like this definitely diminish the user trust in the Ubuntu upgrade process. The solution was a painful manual rollback, using the output of "dpkg --get-selections" from before the upgrade (this old habit has saved me in more than one occasion). Getting my s

It is an annoying problem indeed. The issue is that a lot of people in Brazil, for example, use the ABNT-2 layout, where a separate cedilla C key exists. Everyone else was dropped in the middle of the road with this change. I have a quick workaround to fix it. Just cut and past the lines below and

This seems to be resolved in Lucid. My Thinkpad X40 running Lucid can connect with no problem to my headless server running Hardy. I didn't test it that extensively, but it's been running for over 10 minutes without a crash, and I ran an IRC program and a server update. ** Changed in: xorg-server

Hi Vikram, I thought I'd made it clear in my description and forum thread, but I guess not. This behavior applies to an upgrade install from Intrepid to Karmic. The only way to check if it exists in Lucid is to do an upgrade from Karmic to Lucid, which I plan to do when Lucid is released, but not

Naturally I reported it against Karmic; Karmic is the current release version, which is installed on my machines. When Lucid is released, I will upgrade to it. Whether or not it works in Lucid, until then, the Karmic package needs attention. I realize this sounds testy, but I'm really tired of see

2010-02-19 Thread paganini
The sad part of all this is that a lot of people are used to US-intl generating a cedilla when accent+C is used. Curiously, there's a "New US Intl" layout that does the same as the "regular" US-Intl. I think the cleanest solution would be to have an "Old US Intl" or "Legacy US-Intl" that would gene

Hi Tormod, I updgraded to Karmic yesterday, so this will be more difficult for me to test. I will have more resources when I get home next week, so I will look into it then. Just a side note, Karmic has the same issue with the mouse pointer that the x-updates package did in Jaunty - it's invisibl

The invisible pointer issue seems to be setting related. Some setting associated with my account doesn't like the new driver configuration. I created a new account for testing and the mouse pointer works fine there. Anyone have an idea what setting might be messing things up? -- [x-updates] X fai
