Russian UTF-8 keymap (Microsoft windows layout)
Also, in both beta3 and beta4 I get a long list of 66 warnings spewed whenever keytable service is started: keytable: plus before Ecircumflex ignored keytable: plus before ecircumflex ignored keytable: plus before Atilde ignored keytable: plus before atilde ignored ... keytable: plus before Agrave ignored keytable: plus before agrave ignored keytable: plus before sterling ignored keytable: plus before threesuperior ignored and my /etc/sysconfig/keyboard is KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="ru" Is it the same problem or a different one? Yes. These error messages are result of 8-bit keymap loading. If you install attached to this bug keyboard map, everythyng will be Ok (no errors during boot, russian input works in console). non-ASCII input into the console won't be supported on UTF-8 based systems (RHL 8+) until the kernel supports it. See the release notes in the next beta for more info. Of course, input through X will always be supported. Adrian, the primary problem right now is hundreds of lines of error messages during keytable load process. I just tried AS 2.9.5 installation. ekanter: I understand, but the problem is out of loadkeys domain; it's a kernel problem. The kernel doesn't handle UTF-8/Unicode in te console for chars > 127. The only workaround I know is for Russian users to not use UTF-8 and stick to KOI8-R until the support can be put in the kernel (which we are trying to do-- it's a big problem). I've already attached Russian keyboard layout for UTF-8. Please just include it into kbd package in place of koi8 layout. Eugene and Aleksey, please confirm that this layout works. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=88184&action=view Adrian, if yo do not want to include keytable made by Leon please at least have us keytable be loaded instead of broken ru keytable in UTF-8 locale. Yes, the attached map work perfectly for me. Please include it! new map included in 1.08-8 |
