(SOLVED)Bulgarian keybord layout?
« on: December 02, 2011, 08:28:35 PM »
hello everyone. I just installed latest pcliuxos and found out that bulgarian keyboard layout is unusable..There is no more the option to select what layout you want but the only option is bulgarian layout for typewriter that no one is using..Where the phonetic is gone? Any help will be appreciated

Hi kalinux,

When you say 'latest version', which desktop environment are you on? KDE, LXDE,...? Did you run addlocale to add Bulgarian language support?

regards,

Hi pinoc. I am running KDE 2011 .09.
Addlocale , although asked if I want to use phonetic bulgarian keybord , later after reboot this option is gone .
I had never had any problems with bulgarian keybord and Pclinuxos before(4-5 years)

Hi kalinux and welcome!

The real Bulgarians (like me) use the BDS standard (as you said "for typewriter"... but that's another story).
This is the one of the best keyboard layouts in the world as confirmed by the world specialists.

But the real story is why didn't you find both the Bulgarian layouts? ???

Here in LXDE:

You see your stupid "phonetic"?
I could tell you even how to use "phonetic2" layout.
But why? - it seems you know everything, my Bulgarian friend...

Now in KDE (both LXDE and KDE are fully updated):
1. See the previous picture.

2.


Tomorrow I hope I will show you the same from freshly installed PCLOS 2011.09 KDE.

Freshly installed PCLOS 2011.09 KDE:
See the two pictures above.

----------------------
P.S. pinoc,
there's no need to localise to Bulgarian if you want to add Bulg. layouts. They are just there even if the localisation is the default English :)

Hi Vortex, I am not using a BDS because I do not have bulgarian letters on my keyboard..It is much easier to use phonetic  for me.. here is a pic of what I have .

Aha!
The same here if I choose "Limit selection by language" to be Bulgarian.

Please try this option with Any language as shown in my screenshot.

Yeah that's some glitch I suppose.

You have an other way to add a layout - via Configure Your Computer-->Hardware-->Keyboard.

Funny we contact in English isn't it? :D
Not bad though.

I am sorry being some rough to you, kalinux. :-[
