Hi! I'm using both the german and the english keymapping on my machines. I don't really know about special character languages like japanese behave but I guess it should be the same, concidering the right locales are activated and installed on your machine.
Anyway, here's what I use in my $HOME/bin/ directory: :~$ cat bin/keyboard.sh #!/bin/bash # configure machine to use both the english and german keyboard layout # switch between layouts by pressing "roll" # glowing "roll-LED" indicates that the german layout is present setxkbmap -layout us,de # setup two keyboard layouts. 'us' will be the default setxkbmap -option grp:sclk_toggle # switch between keyboard layouts via scroll lock key setxkbmap -option grp_led:scroll # indicate that I'm using the alternative layout (de) 2016-05-09 18:00 GMT+02:00 Petter Adsen <[email protected]>: > On Tue, 10 May 2016 00:24:03 +0900 > Thomas Blasejewicz <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Good morning > > (I was not able to recover the messed up installation the other day) > > > > Now I NEWLY (from scratch) installed xubuntu 15.10 (16.04 did not > > allow me to install ANY other language beside English). > > I am repeating the procedure now for the THIRD time, since both > > preceding very laborous and time consuming installations led to > > a blank black screen, where the ONLY possible action / activity was > > cutting the power. > > 15.10 goes EOL in three months. > > > Now during the third attempt at installing the OS I am running again > > (I did experience this already before!) into other annoying problems. > > Here in particular (since I have not yet gotten further than OS > > installation and update): > > I have (set) two keyboard layouts: Japanese + German. > > My customary switch is left Alt+Shift. > > I could set that, but EVERY TIME I restart the computer, this setting > > is forgotten and has to be changed. > > Changed: change it to anything, it does not matter what.
