Not this particular symptom, because it seems that all the ISO-8859-1 words in the dictionary are simply skipped.
I played five rounds and did not get a single word with ä or ö in it. Statistically speaking, a bit over 10% of the words in the file words.fin contain a character outside the range a-z (that's 59/486 to be precise, excluding the first line of the file which is just a label) so after seeing a few hundred words, I started to recognize many of them as repeats, but none that had the umlaut vowels (in Finnish, there are not technically umlauts, but you know which I mean). This is a freshly installed Intrepid amd64 installation, with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but Finnish keyboard preferences. I also tried LC_ALL=C and LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 (after installing the Finnish locale via System > Administration > Language Support) to no avail. It won't let me use fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 or fi.ISO-8859-1 or fi_FI.ISO-8859-15 although they're in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED but this is probably a locale problem (see below; notice the error messages from locale). Also I can't seem to strace the program. bash$ grep ^fi /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED fi_FI.UTF-8 UTF-8 fi_FI ISO-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 fil_PH UTF-8 bash$ LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 vnix$ LC_ALL=fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fi_FI.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL=fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 vnix$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_NUMERIC="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_TIME="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_COLLATE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_MONETARY="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_MESSAGES="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_PAPER="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_NAME="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_ADDRESS="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_TELEPHONE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_MEASUREMENT="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" LC_IDENTIFICATION="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED] vnix$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] typespeed typespeed: main: setlocale ** Changed in: typespeed (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- Finnish keyboard doesn't work under X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
