| guiverc | an encrypted boot discourse post maybe https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/7SMDvZXbdN/ (discussion mostly between Aaron & Walter ~two days ago) .. suitable; offtrack or any thuoghts... (only quick first go) | 04:01 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl[m] | <guiverc> "an encrypted boot discourse post..." <- Great idea. Found some old IRC convos that may provide some useful background: [1](https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2019/04/08/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t13:17), [2](https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2023/11/30/%23lubuntu-devel.html#t20:40) | 06:42 |
| guiverc | thanks wxl[m] | 06:50 |
| ChrisGuiver[m] | https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/encrypted-boot-install-q-a-format/4891 now pasted on discourse... Anyone who feels it needs edits please make them (it's made wiki, so should be possible; yell out if issues anyway). | 06:53 |
| AaronRainbolt | Simon Quigley: Left you a ping in #ubuntu-qt on IRC, would appreciate if you could check it | 16:41 |
| -Ubottu[m]:#lubuntu-devel- Builds: Lubuntu Desktop amd64 [Jammy 22.04.4] has been updated (20240510) | 17:16 | |
| tsimonq2[m] | <AaronRainbolt> "Simon Quigley: Left you a ping..." <- Give me a little bit, maybe an hour or two | 17:47 |
| wxl[m] | <AaronRainbolt> "fcitx-qt5" <- speaking of which do we intend on bringing this back to lubuntu? we [dropped fcitx4 in 2022](https://git.lubuntu.me/Lubuntu/seed/commit/4627a4628acf738cfc8d276469aba7a6bf08fbff). fcitx5 seems to have existed since [2020](https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/tags?after=5.0.4) and was [packaged shortly thereafter](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcitx5/5.0.1-1). | 18:13 |
| wxl[m] | * shortly thereafter](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcitx5/5.0.1-1). [here's](https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/how-to-enable-japanese-input-on-lubuntu-22-04lts/4894/2) a user that could have used it. | 18:14 |
| Blue26[m]1 | Hello about the layout think, i was doing some tries with the layout method that lxqt uses(the default in lubuntu?) and i was unable to use 'Hiragana', the alphabet the user was trying to use. Katakana seems to work fine with a layout switch key | 22:15 |
| Blue26[m]1 | Some keyboard layouts have this 'phonetic' distribution, that may help the user | 22:15 |
| Blue26[m]1 | for example russian has one, which makes easier to non speakers to use their default keyboard to find the russian keys | 22:15 |
| Blue26[m]1 | The problem i have seen besides not being able to use the alphabet is that the letters are composed by 2 or more latin letters | 22:16 |
| wxl[m] | My discussion above is more about what we want to do as far as the distro is concerned. With regards to possible solutions/help/input for that particular user, I'd suggest leaving them on the Discourse post. | 22:16 |
| AaronRainbolt | <wxl[m]> "speaking of which do we intend..." <- No clue, we could. | 23:13 |
| wxl[m] | What's not entirely clear to me is how important such functionality is to the majority of users. Folks will still have to install languages for which there's not really a great interface for (it's actually terrible) | 23:14 |
