It is a bug on all systems. I think these guys can help: https://github.com/freedesktop/xkeyboard-config The include... line in cz file works even when in the "basic" statement (line 67). Czech (QWERTY) includes Czech "basic" so some changes in "basic" will affect Czech...

magnus7

It is still not clear why changes in Czech layouts affect English (US) on your computer. Maybe remapping Czech (QWERTY) and English (US) will help. In file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cz add line include "kpdl(comma)" below line 98: key <AE10> { [ eacute, 0, parenright, dead_doubleacute ] }...

Run this command in terminal and post the output here. It will show variants of the layouts.

Code: Select all

dpkg --status xkb-data | grep ^Version && setxkbmap -query

magnus7

The command changes only basic Czech layout. I tested it on different computers with LM 19.3 Cinnamon, LM 20 Cinnamon and LM 20.1 Cinnamon. The result is always the same: Czech layout using comma, English (US) using period. Try it on another computer with different keyboard model. If you have the sa...

The command works correctly. Try it on a fresh installation or Live USB (logout instead of reboot).

If you want to reverse changes made by the command reinstall xkb-data package:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data

magnus7

Run this command in terminal and restart the computer:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i '67s|.*|include "kpdl(comma)"|' \
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cz && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data

Open pc file as administrator:

Code: Select all

xed admin:///usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc

Comment line 22 and 36:

Code: Select all

// key <CAPS> {	[ Caps_Lock ]	};
	
// modifier_map Lock   { Caps_Lock };

Restart the computer.

magnus7

First run this command and restart the computer. If you made any remapping it will be undone. sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data Next run this command and restart the computer. sudo sed -i \ -e '7s|.*|key<AE01>{[1,exclam,grave,asciitilde]};|' \ -e '18s|.*|key<AE12>{[equal,plus,minus,underscor...

Upgrading from LM 19.3 to LM 20 is not recommended because of problems like yours. Try this solution: Turn on XIM: Menu > Input method > Input method framework > XIM Create a hidden file named .XCompose in your home directory ( ~/.XCompose ), which contains: include "%L" <dead_acute> <C> :...

You can use Cron. In this command change x to device number(s), run it in terminal and restart the computer. printf '%s\n' 'SHELL=/bin/sh' \ 'PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin' \ '@reboot root acpitool -W x' \ | sudo tee /etc/cron.d/no_wakeup_usb You can also do it wi...

Yes, just reinstall xkb-data:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data

Fresh installation of recent version of the system wouldn't be a bad idea because your Mint doesn't work as it should and support for 18.2 version will end in five months anyway.

Go to /usr/share/X11/xkb/ folder, right click on symbols folder and choose "Open as administrator". Find pc file.

magnus7

Open pc file in text editor as administrator via terminal: gksudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc In preferences of text editor select the "display line numbers" option. In the file find line number 22: key <CAPS> { [ Caps_Lock ] }; Change it to: key <CAPS> { [ a, A ] }; Delete line nu...

I would like to have an instant classical greek alphabet. The letters have many different diacritics that determine the meaning of the word. I will test the possibilities of the standard greek keyboard lay outs included in LM 19.3. Good strategy. First find keyboard layout closest to what you want ...

Your keyboard layout wouldn't work without pc file. Run this command and post the output here.

Code: Select all

ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ | grep ^pc

Your old Linux Mint version doesn't like my command. No problem. Run this command and restart the computer: sudo sed -i '36s|.*||' /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc && sudo sed -i '22s|.*|key<CAPS>{[a,A]};|' /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data If it doesn't wo...

-e '22s|.*|key<CAPS>{[a,A]};|' \
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc \
&& sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data
