i can not add TR Q keyboard!
  • ozgurozgur April 2010
    I have been experiencing same problem for long time. Each release, i face the same dissapointment: There is no Turkish Q keyboard support out of the box. Although i apply all instruction for adding tr q keymap to the system, system says keyboard layout is TR Q, but it keeps on typing as it was EN US. Any comments?

    Please do not post same link each time:

    It is useless. I have already done everything in this link properly but it can not solve my problem.

    ozgur: Try downloading kbd-base and full kbd package.

    Edit : Found a bug in kbd package. It skips over tr_q . Thanks for letting us know. I will fix this.

    Next cooking, should support turkish by default.

    Thanks for your effort :) i have some friends who likes slitaz but they can not use it because of keyboard issue, if it is solved, several turkish users will be with you:)

    ozgur: Meanwhile, would you like to help to test if turkish kmap works??
    To test:
    1) Upgrade kbd-busybox pkg from here: http://people.slitaz.org/~jozee/packages/kbd-busybox-1.1.tazpkg (tazpkg install pkgname --forced)
    2) Download and upgrade /sbin/tazkeymap from here:
    http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/raw-file/f70b81b03d05/tinyutils/tazkeymap (just save and overwrite the new tazkeymap to /sbin)
    3) subox tazkeymap

    I have added "trq" instead of "tr_q-latin5" in tazkeymap (http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-tools/rev/f70b81b03d05). Not sure which one is correct for turkish keymaps. Please see if its ok. Otherwise, try changing it and let me know.

    I have not tried it yet , because i am busy nowadays. I will try it and then share the results with you and all the others. Thanks four your efforts. In addition, i would like to help Slitaz to have Turkish GUI language in next release. I can translate texts and also try to recruit a couple of translators.
  • ozgurozgur April 2010
    1. I downloaded new kbd given in the link and installed and replaced it with the old one.
    2.Then downloaded new tazkeymap file given and replaced it with the old one
    3.Then run `subox tazkeymap` command, sellected `trq` option and then rebooted the machine.
    At the end keyboard is trq but it still writes in EN US...

    Any other ideas?
  • jozeejozee April 2010
    Can you try chane "trq" to "tr_q-latin5" in /sbin/tazkeymap and try again?
  • ozgurozgur April 2010
    Both trq and tr_q-latin5 gave the same result, keyboard is still US
  • ozgurozgur April 2010
    By the way this is my xorg.conf "inputDevice" section, still something seems wrong:

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "Xkblayout" "us"
    EndSection
  • ozgurozgur April 2010
    OK, i totally realize what the problem is:
    We also have to change the keyboard type from xorg.conf.
    After typing "tr_q-latin5" in place of "us" i was able to type turkish letters like "ş" "ğ" etc.....
    But i can type ISO 8859-1 versions of Turkish characters instead of correct ISO 8859-9 version. Please have a look at:

    Though I don't have a Turkish keyboard, I tried this layout:
    Option "Xkblayout" "tr"

    I am using setxkbmap that is equivalent to keyboard setting of xorg.conf.
    I tried to type in the layout:
    güzel dağ

    There are several variants.
    /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst:
      f               tr: (F)
    alt tr: Alt-Q
    sundeadkeys tr: Sun dead keys
    ku tr: Kurdish, Latin Q
    ku_f tr: Kurdish, (F)
    ku_alt tr: Kurdish, Latin Alt-Q
    intl tr: International (with dead keys)

    e.g.)
    setxkbmap:
    setxkbmap -layout tr -variant alt

    xorg.conf:
    Option "Xkblayout" "tr"
    Option "XkbVariant" "alt"


    Hope this helps.

    setxkbmap -layout tr
    command solved the problem.

    Then, "subox tazkeymap" has nothing to do with this situation, doesn't it?

    Thanks everybody helped me.
