Re: [slim] How to change the keyboard layout ?
Ah... I missed that. Don't have a Pi, so I can't really test any of the following. Quick glimpse seems to indicate that in PcP optional packages have been moved from root to /usr/local, so you probably need to prefix the path to Keyboard.lua with that (i.e. /usr/local/usr/share/jive/jive/ui/Keyboard.lua ). If it's not there try the `find` command. Another thing, as PcP loads its RAM filesystem from compressed files on the SD card the change you make (if possible) will not persist between boots. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115763 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Now my file is the same: but I got:
grep: /usr/share/jive/jive/ui/Keyboard.lua: No such file or directory
setting keyboard layout to default
sed: /usr/share/jive/jive/ui/Keyboard.lua: No such file or directory
and after reboot slim-set-kbmap.sh disappeared (I did however :wq)

Strange. Line 3 should be a comment line in the created file. Somehow on

inputlang="$1.."
if [[ "${inputlang:0:2}" == "$1" ]]; then
ISOlang=$(grep -i -m1 -o "'qwerty_$1'" /usr/share/jive/jive/ui/Keyboard.lua |
grep -i -o $1)
newkbdlang="'${ISOlang}'"
else
newkbdlang="locale"
fi
if $(grep -q "kbType .. '_' .. ${newkbdlang}"
/usr/share/jive/jive/ui/Keyboard.lua); then
echo "keyboard layout is already set to ${newkbdlang/locale/default}"

If you can find your way in the editor (vi) create the file manually
instead.

Re: [slim] How to change the keyboard layout ?
To be a little clearer, if we select French, on the LCD screen it is an AZERTY keyboard that appears. However: In France it is the AZERTY keyboard that is used. In Canada I think it is the QWERTY In Switzerland the QWERTZ (Ich bin auch in der Schweiz!). So I was wondering if it was possible to have these nuances... Oh, are you saying that the three examples you mentioned would be what you'd expect, while you'd always get AZERTY? Then we agree: yes, that's a limitation in Squeezeplay/JiveLite. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] How to change the keyboard layout ?
In theory it should be possible to select both of them independent from[/color] What theory? This is not physics, but some logic decision which was taken many years ago. Lost in translation. What I meant is that there is no technical limitation to have a different language setting on input devices or special formatting (decimal sign, datetime, etc) from the chosen display language. The limitation stems from what the programmer chose to expose to the user, which in this case means that it cannot be done from the (G)UI. Exactly. And from what I understand "the programmer" (or product manager or whomever) decided to keep things simple. I just tested this again, and living in Switzerland, running LMS on a Mac set up with German/Switzerland, Squeezeplay set to French would use AZERTY. I'm not sure what input PaulH is referring to if he gets QWERTZ. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The limitation stems from what the programmer chose to expose to the user, which in this case means that it cannot be done from the (G)UI. Since however you pointed out that the selection is done in the LUA part of the code a user may still manipulate this behaviour through CLI. It needs to be noted here however that this is a `permanent` change and thus will need to be undone if user choses to select a different display language in the UI. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115763 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How to change the keyboard layout ?
Heheh... I think you should recognize QWERTZ from your own keyboard? It's German layout. What I wanted to say is that you can't have a non-French keyboard while using French as the application's locale. Whether this is English or German doesn't really matter, does it? In theory it should be possible to select both of them independent from What theory? This is not physics, but some logic decision which was taken many years ago. And it's rather simplistic: use the application's language setting string (FR, DE, EN, ...), append it to the 'qwerty_' prefix and see whether that keyboard is defined. There aren't many, I think it's basically qwerty, qwertz, azerty. And the latter would be chose if jivelite's language was French. https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/blob/a1307c523a7f70e28ecde3a1e238132b23323a77/share/jive/jive/ui/Keyboard.lua#L474 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I think you should recognize QWERTZ from your own keyboard? It's German layout. In theory it should be possible to select both of them independent from one another but of course whatever frontend you are using must support that as well and then the next question becomes how it achieves that - does it translate the input from Clang or actually change the system locale? In the latter case it should be possible to hack into it and override the `xkbmap` through the logitech user profile. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115763 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
