VILLA21 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Just installed Mandrva 2006 RC2 plus all the updates from Cooker. The only issue i have so far is the Greek language installation. I configure my keyboard to use US English and Greek but i cannot switch to Greek, any ideas pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 You mean mcc isn't working as it should? You can edit manually the i18n and xorg.conf files. What's the output of locale under a normal console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLA21 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Here's the output of locale: LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=en_US LC_NUMERIC=el_GR LC_TIME=en_US LC_COLLATE=en_US LC_MONETARY=el_GR LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_PAPER=el_GR LC_NAME=el_GR LC_ADDRESS=el_GR LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR LC_ALL= I tried to configure it only in MCC. What i have to add in xorg.conf or i18n? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) For troublefree Greek support, you must use UTF-8. Add to all the lines in the i18n file .UTF-8 at the end, and set the LANG as: en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en Your input device section in xog.conf should be something like that: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us,el" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" EndSection If you set your system like that then you don't need at all the KDE keyboard switcher- all is done at the xorg level, which is good (e.g. Openoffice working properly without any KDE bindings). The above changes require restart to apply properly. You can also change the locale settings via mcc, and tick in the "use unicode by default" option.

VILLA21 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I did all the changes as u suggested, still no joy. There is no "use unicode by default" option in MCC. In KDE CC-->Country-Region & Country i got only an option to add US English and British English. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Strange... what is returned by "locale -a" ? You might have to rebuild your locales. Edited October 7, 2005 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamS Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Somewhere in KDE control centre there is "keyboard layout". Might that be what you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
