Bulgarian Phonetic keyboard layout missing

Hi

I can not believe that, but Bulgarian layout has only trdaitional version. Phonetic version is missing in the configure menu. Any suggested help?

It is almost impossible for non clairvoyant people to help you when you not at least tell what version of openSUSE you use and what desktop (KDE, Gnome, …). Also there are many configuration menus around, thus saying “the configure menu” is not very precise.

Hi

Thanks for reply and sorry for unsufficient data.
OpenSuse version: 12.1
Desktop: KDE
Configuration menu is when I right-click on the keyboard switcher on the bottom right and select “Configure”.
Then I have only one Bulgarian option - traditional layout.
In some bulgarian forum I found as a suggestion to type in the console

setxkbmap bg phonetic

.
Actually it did changed the layout to phonetic but made lots of other harms - I was not able to switch more to other languages layouts (for example US), my Alt and Ctrl buttons were not working, and, of course, it is unacceptable to have to type this every single time when my computer starts up.
In another bulgarian forum some guy was telling how was looking his xorg.conf after setting Bulgarian Phonetic. He has been using OpenSuse 9.x
I tried to find my xorg config file and ti change the configuration manually, but it is missing here (In higher versions of Ubuntu it was missing as well as I remember). Maybe if you can point me to some direction where is stored the configuration data whish was supposed to be in the xorg.conf, I will suceed to fix it manually…?

Thanks for your time.

So this is about keyboard layout if I understand you correct.

When yes, I think the word “keyboard” should have been an important part of your thread’s title.

How can I change the title?

You can’t, but I can do this for youy.

Please NNTP users, I do not know how this works out in your fragile environment, but I will change the title of this thread.

Changed the title.

title changed, but everything still in the same thread; nice.


phani.

By complete incident and lack of knowledge I succeeded in pleasing an NNTP user. Please make a not on the positive side of my Karma.

you realize what you’re asking of me, right? log into the website forum,
probably requiring several attempts before succeeding, then finding
whatever button you guys came up with to increase your karma. but
ok…i’ll try. you can of course respond by increasing mine (much less of
an effort for you), but then i’ll never see it anyway, so don’t bother :slight_smile:

Hm, in fact I did not realise that there is an on forums karma. I ment my real one (which is way below acceptable).
Do not bother to login to the forums, it is a nuisance anyway these days (you are right). Just think of me for a short moment, have a smile and I will be happy.

oops…reported you as an inconsiderate sociopath who uses foul language
instead. good thing you’re a ‘global moderator’…

(just kidding, of course.)

Never mind, I will take it as it is :slight_smile:

But let us not forget the OP!

Anybody who knows how to configure keyboard layouts in KDE?
Anybody who knows about tha availability of “Bulgarian phonetic” amongst the the keyboard layouts?

Plaese try to help @pastet89 with further information.

…of course. i got sidetracked because the OP claimed there was
‘bulgarian,’ but not ‘bulgarian phonetic’ among the available choices, and
i thought if he doesn’t have it, i won’t either. my mistake…

checking now, under systemsettings -> input devices -> keyboard -> layouts,

i see that i could add bulgarian, in three possible variants: default,
phonetic, and traditional_phonetic.

not sure where he was looking, but under KDE system settings these options
are available to me, without ever having installed any language specific
things. (openSUSE 12.1 / KDE 4.8.2).

if you (OP) can’t find this settings, we’ll have to exchange screenshots
to make sure we’re talking about the same things.

It works fine!
NNTP is robust.
