Description Philippos Papaphilippou 2011-04-26 12:59:52 UTC
Description of problem:
When typing in greek and Greek language (cyprus) is the system language either you can't type letters with the diacritical mark tonos (α -> ά) or somewhere (e.g. Nautilus) you can't type at all. This doesn't happen in Greek language (Greece) as the system language.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Scientific Linux 6.0 -> RHEL6.0

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
-letters without diacritical mark tonos
-can't type somewhere

Expected results:
-letters with diacritical mark tonos
-type

Additional info:
I believe Greek language (Cyprus) as the system language is not needed as the books we use, all our written words, signs, time zone e.c.t are the same as in Greece.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-26 13:17:39 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-06-13 15:16:48 UTC
well this is clearly not a gnome-desktop issue.  I'm assuming it's some sort of problem with the keyboard layout, but without digging more I'm not sure.

Throwing to whot for now.

Comment 4 Peter Hutterer 2011-06-14 01:46:51 UTC
What is your actual keyboard configuration and where did you select "cyprus"?
What is the output of setxkbmap -print and "xkbcomp -xkb :0 -"?

Comment 5 Philippos Papaphilippou 2011-06-14 10:28:02 UTC
In the login screen, bottom bar, where you can select KDE or gnome. I choose "Ελληνικά Σύγχρονα (Κύπρος)" = "Greek Modern (Cyprus)"


$ setxkbmap -print and "xkbcomp -xkb :0 -
> 
> setxkbmap -print and "xkbcomp -xkb :0 -
Error!   Option "-xkb" not recognized

Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2011-07-07 03:26:15 UTC
Please run it separately 

$> setxkbmap -print > setxkbmap.out
$> xkbcomp -xkb :0 - > xkbcomp.out

and attach the two files as plain-text here
