[10:32] <houman> Hi, I am new to Ubuntu 12.04 and am trying to install Persian language support for a friend. I have been googling for an hour and can't find a tutorial to explain this. I have added additional language support and added Persian. What is the next step? How can I type in Persian in LibreWriter please?
[10:37] <geirha> check that the package   libreoffice-l10n-<two letter language code>  is installed
[10:39] <geirha> also myspell-<langcode> and hyphen-<langcode>
[10:39] <geirha> I think the gnome language selector already takes care of that though
[10:42] <houman> geirha: libreoffice-I10n-fa is indeed installed
[10:43] <houman> geirha: so is myspell-fa
[10:43] <geirha> (it's lowercase L, not uppercase I btw)
[10:43] <geirha> l10n is short for localization
[10:43] <houman> Yes I found it in package manager :)
[10:43] <geirha> the 10 is the number of characters between the l and n
[10:43] <houman> I think I need to select a font that supports persian.
[10:43] <houman> in Libre Writer
[10:44] <houman> Verdana was meant to be able to do that. But in Ubuntu there is no Verdana
[10:44] <houman> I am a bit lost here...
[10:44] <geirha> Hm. Does it have the Ubuntu font?
[10:44] <geirha> I don't use libroffice myself, so I'm walking on thin ice here
[10:45] <geirha> It's also possible to install the microsoft truetype fonts
[10:46] <geirha> ttf-mscorefonts-installer   Verdena is a microsoft font I think
[10:54] <houman> yes it does have Ubuntu font.  I dont know...still researching
[10:58] <houman> هاها
[10:58] <houman> means haha
[10:58] <houman> I figured it out.  Its the keyboard layout. I had to add persian there as well
[10:58] <houman> and switch to it. Now it makes sense
[10:58] <houman> Thanks for help
[11:09] <geirha> Ah, good to hear :)
[11:45] <houman> ok, new problem in Lubuntu. I can't open the kayboard layout settings (lxkeymap) nothing happens when I click on it. Ant idea why?
[12:01] <geirha> run it in a terminal and see if it outputs any useful error message to the terminal
[12:11] <houman> geirha: it is a confirmed bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxkeymap/+bug/945603
[12:11] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 945603 in lxkeymap "lxkeymap crashed with IndexError in finish_initializing(): list index out of range" [Undecided,Fix committed]
[12:15] <houman> geirha: apparently the fix for it is here: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging?field.series_filter=precise
[12:15] <houman> I have added the PPA and did an update. Not sure to to install that patch though
[12:17] <geirha> the ppa package is probably patched, but I don't think you need the ppa
[12:17] <geirha> It says fix-released, so the package should be in the -proposed repo
[12:19] <houman> hmm so its released to the public then?
[12:19] <houman> but stil experience the problem :(
[12:21] <geirha> houman: Yes and no.
[12:21] <geirha> houman: When a fix is released, it'll first end up in the -proposed repository. This is not enabled by default.
[12:22] <geirha> Once proposed packages has been tested enough, they'll end up in the -updates repository, in which case you'll get notified that updates are available
[12:22] <houman> is there any way for me to enable this at this stage - even untested? :)
[12:23] <geirha> Yes, you enabled the proposed-repository, update the package in question (deselect all other packages), then disable the proposed-repository again.
[12:36] <houman> geirha: I am running out of time. :)  I give up on Lubuntu and switch to Ubuntu + lxde
[12:36] <houman> Ubuntu seems more tested and stable
[12:45] <geirha> Lubuntu is Ubuntu
[12:45] <geirha> Just with lxde installed by default, instead of gnome and unity
[13:36] <houman> geirha: yes the underlying should be the same.  But Kayboard Layout for one, doesnt work right now on Lubuntu. But it work son Ubuntu.  Then there was the lag-typing-bug of AbiWord (part of Lubuntu) forced me to install the whole LibreOffice.  At the end, there is little left why I should not just use Ubuntu instead :)
[13:56] <houman> oh dear, the cpu of this laptop is a i686, hence I couldnt install Ubuntu 64Bit.  But even the installation of Ubuntu 32Bit failed saying this kernel requires the following features not present pae
[13:57] <houman> surprisingly Lubuntu 32Bit works.  But has the keyboard layout issue, which is a blocker for my case :-\
[14:13] <houman> sweet, I found the solution.  After adding that ppa, a sudo apt-get update  won't be the solution.  It has to be done from UI Update Package manager. Now the keyboard layout switch is working yeeey
[14:17] <nothingspecial> so you are sorted then
[14:18] <nothingspecial> Don't forget to update your thread on the forums houman :)
[14:20] <houman> yes i will. thanks for your help on that mate
[14:22] <nothingspecial> :)
