Lenny and Vietnamese input
Dear All,
I've just swapped from using FreeBSD (6.4) to Debian (Lenny) and I'm
having trouble getting my Vietnamese keyboard to work. I use xvnkb
and have installed it after some hassles. For example, the core
(xvnkb.so.0.2.9) is installed into /usr/lib, but the startup script
seems to want it in /usr/local/lib - some soft links fixed this.
Also, this library must be preloaded, but I use kdm so, where to put
the LD_PRELOAD definition? I've put it into my own .xinitrc after
much experimentation. Now xvnkb is loaded and the gui is active:
debian [21:39] ~>ps -ef | grep vn
rob 3460 1 7 20:31 pts/0 00:04:58 xvnkb
(running under my own user ID, not as root). This was started by:
debian [21:41] ~>xvnkb &
However, only the gui is active. I can select my desired input method
(VIQR) and output (UTF-8), turn input recognition off, exit the
program, etc, etc, but nothing happens when I type. The keyboard is
totally ignored. My locale is:
debian [21:43] ~>echo $LANG
en_AU.UTF-8
(English, Australia) and has been configured correctly (I hope). Does
anyone have any experience in this area? Thanks very much for any
help. The system is:
debian [21:44] ~>uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu May 28 15:39:35 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
Thank you,
Rob Hurle
