Add other keyboard layouts and other language support

kdar · 2009-12-16 17:58:59

What do I need to install by pacman so that I can add other keyboard layouts (Russian) and have support of other langauges (right now any file that contains foreign character or letter, I can't open or even remove).

I am using KDEmod.

Nothing afaik. Go into systemsettings - region and language - keyboard layout and take it from there.

When I go there here what I see....

in "Coutry/Region & Language" tab, there is just US English availible and don't seems to be an option to add other (I am guessing I need to install some package from pacman for that).

in "Keyboard Layout" is display this error only:

Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_keyboard_layout.so: (libxklavier.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_keyboard_layout.so: (libxklavier.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

[dheart@lightbringer kde4]$ pacman -Ql libxklavier
...
libxklavier /usr/lib/
libxklavier /usr/lib/libxklavier.so
libxklavier /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.15
libxklavier /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.15.0.0
...

libxklavier got updated, but kde4 didn't get recompiled against it. You might want to recompile the kde package that is responsible for keyboard layout OR

ln -s /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.15 /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.12

Thank you Dheart!!
It worked for me.

I used this:

ln -s /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.15 /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.12

But could you tell me why it worked? This code made new link betwen "so.12" and "so.15"?
