User Feedback :: DSL is exactly what I need except ONE thing !!!
Hello,
To have a French keyboard while waiting for the next release candidate just right click download and install this extension (takes less than 10 minutes to create. You should learn and try this also...) :
These are the fr-latin0, 1 and 9 from Ubuntu 5.04. Latin1 works best for me, with the others the Shift key doesn't respond. As I already mentioned I cannot type ê ë and @. To overcome this you can fill your address book in Sylpheed or Thunderbird with the English keyboard, and then you will probably never need the @ anymore anyway. For ê and ë you can just create a text file with them in Ubuntu, send it to yourself by Email, and then copy paste them whenever you need them (this is not so often). Until we find something better...
For the problem with Open Office I'm sorry I have no clue. I guess in Ubuntu and Knoppix you have OO with the German language pack...
With best regards, DSL beams me up !Hi Spoke! great, thanks a lot for your extension, it works for me perfectly too! Yes, I have a german version of knoppix, and I don't have the problem with it when copying and pasting from a browser window a german text in OOo. I wonder why it is not possible with DSL without having any letters not translated as french or german typical ones... let's see what's happening in the next release. sincerely yoursHi Roberts
Finally I will not send you the Ubuntu fr-latin9.kmap.gz, because I unerstood Spoke already did it (0-1-9). I'm looking forward to the next release.
Thx for your great job , take care of your health.:)I guess I cannot keep up with all the posts. Maybe I am too late, but when I tried the link I get the dreaded 404 error. Please email me these verify working french keymaps.
