[SOLVED] Keyboard set as English UK but layout still English US.

Boardwriter · 04-19-2012, 06:45 AM

Aspire one ZG5
Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.3.E
BIOS version v0.3114
I have set the keyboard as English UK but after restarting the netbook it still operates as US. The (@) key is ("). Date & Time are set for London. I can't think of anything else to do. Does anyone have any idea how to get this sorted? Thank you.

You can go into Applications --> Settings somewhat like that, and search for Keyboard settings. From there you can choose keyboard settings.

There is no Applications --> Settings that I can find. Only Input languages>>SCIM>>Global Setup or right clicking the keyboard on the taskbar and selecting SCIM Setup. This gives me Options>>Keyboard Layout>>English UK. I select Apply>>OK. Then a notice "Not all configurations can be reloaded on the fly. Don't forget to restart SCIM in order to let all of the new configuration take effect". I would assume that means restart the netbook. Would that be correct? I have done this I don't know how many times, it shows English UK on the Taskbar.

You can do like this -

Code:

# ps -ef |grep scim

Code:

# kill -9 pid

pid of scim.

Code:

# scim -d

Now you're going out of my league. I have no idea about code. In fact this is the 1st time I have ever used the linpus. I'm more windows 7 which is childs play.

Click Applications System Tools > Terminal to launch.

I'm going to give up the ghost. There is nowhere that I can see to open Applications System Tools > Terminal to launch. I have tried left & right clicking everything that comes up in front of me. You tried your best Buddy. I just don't have the stamina. You have better things to do. Thank you for all your time. I do appreciate it. Thank you.

Don't give up buddy

Another option is -
Press "Alt+F2" key and then type "terminal" or “gnome-terminal”.

I got it Satyaveer (I hope that's your name).Liveupdate was coming up telling me to click on the icon on the taskbar. There was no icon, so I went into Liveupdate. Rebooted, went into settings and there it was "Keyboard Layout". That's what was missing. So now I'm back on track again thanks to your push about not giving up. I'm glad you were there, Thank you very much. Keep helping people, you're a star.
