| furkan | has anybody else's multimedia keys stopped working after the linux 4.3.0-7 update? | 07:20 |
|---|---|---|
| furkan | ok never mind... it must have been something else, because now it's working again | 07:25 |
| lordievader | Good morning. | 10:16 |
| trijntje | Hi, I'm running Xenial and I noticed something weird. Some apps change '.' to ',' I guess because that is the regional notation for decimals (in dutch). However, many programs don't understand this, and keep throwing errors that 2,5 isnt a valid number. How should I file a but about this? | 10:33 |
| trijntje | Earlier versions of ubuntu did not have this problem | 10:33 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: you got the right layout for keyboard? | 10:47 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: i remember having an issue like this on belgian keyboard, had to change belgian(alternate) | 10:50 |
| trijntje | lotuspsychje: I'm pretty sure I have the right one, but I cant find the setting to check it anymore. Do you know if they moved it for xenial? | 10:51 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm not sure, im on my trusty box atm | 10:52 |
| trijntje | found it, I'm using English (US, with euro on 5) like always | 10:53 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: dont you need NL ? | 10:54 |
| trijntje | no, I always use this. AFAIK Dutch keyboards have a weird layout, and I've only ever seen 1 in my life | 10:56 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 10:56 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: so in wich apps you notify what exactly? | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: ill check on my xenial box later and compare | 10:57 |
| trijntje | The simplest example is bc, if I put type in 2.5 on the numpad, it actually inputs 2,5 and I get a syntax error | 10:58 |
| trijntje | The weird thing is, I can just put in 2.5 with the num pad in this chat | 10:58 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: this really smells like that keyboard issue, try Be(alternatief)? | 11:00 |
| trijntje | in gnucash, I cant put in 2.5 using the normal keyboard's . key. I have to use the ',' to put in 2,5. However, using 2.5 on numpad get changed to 2,5, and gnucash accepts that | 11:01 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: you always install ubuntu in english or in dutch for whole system? | 11:01 |
| trijntje | I used to install Dutch, and I've just switched to English, but with Dutch localisation setttings (dates, Euro as currency, etc) | 11:02 |
| trijntje | Swithcing to BE(Alternative) has no effect on the problems I've described | 11:02 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm weird | 11:03 |
| lotuspsychje | ill try it on xenial later | 11:03 |
| lotuspsychje | but i dont think to have this issue.. | 11:03 |
| trijntje | Same for US, international with dead keys. So I guess it has to do with duch localisation settings | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: what kind of keyboard is that? | 11:05 |
| trijntje | to be honest I'm not sure what the difference is. I know that if you install the system in dutch, it tends to use ' to make special characters, so you have to manually put a space every time you want to type an actual ', which is why I always opt for dead keys | 11:07 |
| trijntje | that way its easier to type in english, and I hardly ever use special characters anyway | 11:08 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: well you could file a bug maybe, or first test with a xenial livecd how other layouts react? | 11:10 |
| trijntje | lotuspsychje: do you know what package I should file a bug against? | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: maybe indicator-keyboard ? | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: or this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-keyboard | 11:14 |
| trijntje | I think thats an on screen keyboard, I'll just file against indicator keyboard and tag in translation/localisation | 11:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: also make sure you explain your US/NL use | 11:18 |
| trijntje | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1537357 | 11:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1537357 in indicator-keyboard (Ubuntu) "Problems inputing decimal with numpad" [Undecided,New] | 11:23 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: thank you for filing :p | 11:25 |
| trijntje | I've switched to Irish localistation for now, at least that way I can use the numpad and Euro at the same time ;) | 11:32 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: ok cool | 11:32 |
| alexf | Anyone experience the background not changing when you set a new image? | 17:15 |
