This is pretty common problem, because most localized keyboard layouts have all those fancy english characters like #, @, &, \, which are necessary for any CLI job, accessible only through finger-breaking keyboard shortcuts with AltGr. As far as I know, most administrators in need of such characters simply switch to us layout by simple "setxkbmap us", but that's not a good solution. It would be nice to have "us" layout set up as secondary one just after install, like it is in Windows systems... I use hal for configuration of this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">cz,us</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">grp:shift_toggle,grp:switch,lv3:ralt_switch</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> -- Make sure US keyboard layout is always available as an alternative? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90832 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
