Italian keyboard problems
Italian keyboard problems
Using Ubuntu 8.1 on a iMac, the keyboard works well for almost all the keys but I cannot use the euro symbol neither the @ symbol (I copy - pasted this one).
I tried changing many keyboard models in preferences settings.
Anybody could type @ or euro using Ubuntu on a iMAC? How?
Thanks.

I use alt + E to get the euro symbol and alt + ò to get the @baf wrote:I don't know the italian keymap so,
what do you normally press to get these?
I can use both the left alt key or the right alt key on my iMAC keyboard.
So it seems that the "alt" key is not recognized on Ubuntu under iMAC os.
thanks.

try this:
edit /etc/default/console-setup
add
lv3:lalt_switch
to XKBOPTIONS=
line
If its empty before it would become
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:lalt_switch"
otherwise something like (this is mine)
XKBOPTIONS="altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,lv3:lalt_switch,apple:badmap"
reboot and test.
you should now use left command/apple key instead of alt
Good Luck

I tried both suggestions, no change

here'e the output:baf wrote:Could you post the output from:
setxkbmap -print
So I can see if it reads it at all.
Also try this line in X
setxkbmap it -option -option altwin:swap_lalt_lwin -option lv3:lalt_switch
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle)+group(alts_toggle)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
moreover I tried that line without any improvement.

I solved reading carefully the help file.
Open System - \preferences -keyboard-disposition- other options and set third level keys.
I quote from italian Ubuntu , now I can type @ and € !!!!!

Thank you

sorry, but if you do not have a desktop environment (eg kde, gnome, xfc, etc) how can you click on a preference?passegua wrote:I don't have any desktop environment. I clic on system, preferences, keyboard.T3ch wrote: Hi,

hi
If you have a text-only system, you can not click on preference because there is nothing on which to click.
Can someone help me configure the keyboard to manage keys as € @ on a Linux guest that does not have a desktop environment but only the bash?

Do you have a file /etc/default/console-setup ?
If so post the lines that start with X here.
(Mine looks like this).
# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="se"
XKBVARIANT="mac"
#XKBOPTIONS="lv3:lwin_switch,apple:badmap,altwin:swap_lalt_lwin"
#XKBOPTIONS="altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,lv3:lalt_switch"
XKBOPTIONS="altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,lv3:lalt_switch,apple:badmap"
