[indiana-discuss] Missing /etc/inputrc
Hi, for us poor gnu converts and bash users it would be *extremely pleasant* having a 1:1 mapping between keyboard and action, as we've been accustomed to have in the last 15 years of linux ;) , even in an ssh session. For example having the DEL key deleting the character under the cursor, rather than having a ~ written in the terminal, would be a liberation from the torture of goddam old-style /bin/sh lack of bindings. Every time I install OS I have to copy my Suse's /etc/inputrc to Opensolaris. May I ask why don't you include this file? After all the default shell is now bash. Can you add it to the distribution, please?. Thanks, Nico ___ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss

At least it remembers the keyboard mapping. An easy solution/workaround is to let the computer run 24/7 but I think it would be nice if the system actually remember the settings across reboots.

Re: [indiana-discuss] Keyboard mapping with different language
hi Jasse, well, it seems to me like a bug. Anyway, I believe that there is an easier workaround than letting your computer run 24/7: you can add the following line at the end of the file: /etc/default/init LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Jasse Jansson wrote: On Jan 27, 2009, at 7:38 AM, Fuyuki Hasegawa - Sun Microsystems wrote: Now I have to change that every time I log in, Could you explain what you change every time?

Bug 3090 is accepted as a P2 bug[1] , apparently meaning that it will be fixed for the next major release. ( i don't know though , if that fix will include a 1:1 mapping ) [1] http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3090 On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 6:11 PM, Shawn Walker swal...@opensolaris.org wrote: Nico Sabbi wrote: Hi, for us poor gnu converts and bash users it would be *extremely pleasant* having a 1:1 mapping between keyboard and action, as we've been accustomed to have in the last 15 years of linux ;) , even in an ssh session.

Re: [indiana-discuss] Keyboard mapping with different language
Hi Jasse, I included some pointers below that will help you navigate OpenSolaris information. Since we are documenting several Solaris releases, we have information in several locations. Let me know if you can't find something that you need. Cindy 1. OpenSolaris information starts here: http://opensolaris.org/os/documentation/ 2. OpenSolaris administration information wiki is here: http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSolarisInfo/Home 3. The Solaris Express information on docs.sun.com is most similar to OpenSolaris features except for installation and packaging. If you search for information on docs.sun.com, then click on the links the Solaris Express collections. For example, the administration collection is here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/47.23 Jasse Jansson wrote: On Jan 27, 2009, at 4:47 PM, Javier Acosta wrote: hi Jasse, well, it seems to me like a bug.

While gdm displays Swedish again, if you log in as is, you will be entered in gnome desktop env with English locale. gdm serves for all users on a system. Thus, once the system is rebooted, it will start with system default locale. As Javier said, to change gdm screen permanently, need to change system default locale (/etc/default/init) and then reboot.
