I don't think that it's a configuration option, but I do not know enough about it to be sure.
The Tajik keyboard has several letters that are similar to Russian letters, but that have an added '-' or ',' eg: 'x' and 'าณ' . Years ago, when I was running Mandrake, the Tajik keyboard would work in the following way: The 'o' on my US keyboard would function as a dead key. Typing the o and then a Russian letter without the - or the , would produce the Tajik letter with the - or the , In Ubuntu this didn't work. In Feisty, the Tajik keyboard works again, but I now can produce the Tajik letter by using a combination of RightAlt and the Russian letter that looks like it. The 'o' doesn't do anything. To me it seems that the following happened: 1. There was a working keyboard 2. It broke 3. Someone fixed it but used a different system, replacing the o with RightAlt. He forgot to give the o back its original function. This is ok, but it looks strange that the o doesn't produce any letter and that the ั (the letter that is normally produced by the o on the Russian keyboard) is missing. This also makes it difficult to type some Russian words in Tajik. I may be totally wrong. It's maybe just speculation by someone who doesn't understand the system. Here is the output of the command you gave me: xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "intl", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us,tj", "intl,", "grp:alts_toggle" Thanks for looking into this, Erik Pascal De Vuyst wrote: > I'm not familiar with Tajik or Russian keyboard layouts but this looks like > something that probably can be configured and therefore likely is a support > question. > Did you try to ask your question on any of the support channels like IRC or > ubuntuforums.org ? > > Can you provide your current xkb model, layout, variant and options settings > by running the following command on a terminal: > $ xprop -root | grep XKB > > > ** Summary changed: > > - Tajik keyboard not working correctly > + Tajik keyboard layout: put 'ั' in place of the letter 'o' for Russian words > > ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-keyboard (Ubuntu) > Importance: Undecided => Wishlist > -- Tajik keyboard layout: put 'ั' in place of the letter 'o' for Russian words https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67051 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
