german keyboard layout: looking for a ToDo

(1/2) > >>

Capodastro:
Hi,
I didn't find useful information about configuring the keyboard for German language.
putting all information together and checking the paths it should sound in text modus:

"sudo loadkeys /user/share/kmap/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap:"

but no loadkeys utility and I am condemned to type in English for the rest of my life! :)
Any help? Thanks a lot.

Misalf:
That would be

--- Code: ---sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap

--- End code ---

You can also use boot code

--- Code: ---kmap=qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys

--- End code ---

Capodastro:
Hallo Misalf,
really thanks a lot! The bootcode "tinycore kmap..."  works in text modus, unfortunately loadkmap didn't work. The reason seems to be in a missing dependency and I can't figure out the package/s to add. Right now I regard this fact as a bit problematic, because the same occurred by testing thunar, file-roller and other software: the missed packages rely on the human intuition.
Any idea about how to "fill the hole"?
Thanks.

Not if you are going to keep the error messages a secret.
The provides key in Apps should give you the name of the extension that contains a given file.

Misalf:
If you are using Xorg, you can create a file like this and add it to your backup.

/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf

--- Code: ---Section "InputClass"
Identifier       "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard  "yes"
Option           "XkbLayout"   "de"
Option           "XkbVariant"  "nodeadkeys"
Option           "XkbOptions"  "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection


--- End code ---
