Felipe, I am not speaking for Ubuntu. Here is my executive summary of the issue:
1. The existing Ubuntu 10.04 is able to work with the ABNT2 layout, without the specific problem from this report, if you simply configure the keyboard model, in the Keyboard preferences. Find in the list the vendor IBM and select one of the Thinkpad entries. That's it, and your layout will work as you see fit. 2. In the bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28874 I asked the developer to change the vendor name from 'IBM' to 'Lenovo (previously IBM)', so that it is more descriptive. If you have a suggestion for a better name, please make it at the bug report. 3. You need to talk to the other brazilian users of thinkpad laptops about this; they need to configure the Keyboard model to Thinkpad so that all keys work. 4. When you install Ubuntu, there is no option to set the keyboard model. You need to complete the installation, then visit the Keyboard Preferences and set the keyboard model to IBM/Thinkpad. 5. There is no critical change that is needed for Ubuntu 10.04 to make the ABNT2 layout work fully. The only bug report pending is the one that simply asks to change the name of the vendor from 'IBM' to 'Lenovo (previously IBM)'. 6. You might be able to ask for changes in the Ubiquity (installer) so that when Brazil+Thinkpad is detected, the correct layout/model are configured. This is quite advanced and you need to get some help (perhaps some Linux geeks from Brazil?) to help you. -- abnt2 keyboard layout missing thinkpad variant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359719 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
