| anatak | Hi, I just installed devuan and would like to ask a few questions regarding installing Japanese language support. | 14:01 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | anatak, just ask your questions and be patient. Answer might come in minutes or hours. | 14:03 |
| anatak | 2 questions I used linux mint on another computer. To be able to input Japanese characters I installed Ibus and Anthy. Do I need to do the same thing for devuan? | 14:06 |
| anatak | I added the french keyboard but I am unable to change to the french layout using the shortcut keys. | 14:06 |
| fsmithred | anatak, to change keyboard layout or add layouts, run 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' as root or with sudo | 14:14 |
| fsmithred | you can add a panel applet to switch keyboards | 14:15 |
| fsmithred | probably need to install the same packages that you did in mint. All is derived from debian. | 14:16 |
| anatak | thank you I ll try that | 14:17 |
| anatak | in mint I have an option settings -> language Settings I don't see this in the gui in Devuan. Where can I see the Language Settings please? | 14:22 |
| buZz | anatak: in what gui? | 14:23 |
| anatak | xfce | 14:23 |
| buZz | ah, you want to run cinnamon? | 14:23 |
| buZz | oh | 14:23 |
| fsmithred | anatak, if you use lightdm as the display manager, you can select the language at the login screen | 14:24 |
| buZz | anatak: maybe https://wiki.debian.org/ChangeLanguage | 14:24 |
| fsmithred | but I'm not certain that will work correctly | 14:24 |
| anatak | I ll give it a try | 14:25 |
| onefang | LightDM lets you s-elect the keyboard from the login screen. Can't recall if you have to turn that on first though. | 14:25 |
| buZz | i never run linux in a translated language, makes google'ing on error msgs near impossible :) | 14:28 |
| anatak | I don't want to run linux in Japanese. I just want to be able to input Japanese and French text. | 14:31 |
| anatak | I have to reboot so I ll see if anything has changed. Thank you for your help so far. | 14:32 |
| fsmithred | come back, | 14:32 |
| fsmithred | there's a package you might need | 14:32 |
| fsmithred | checking name now... | 14:32 |
| onefang | anatak has left the building. | 14:34 |
| fsmithred | fonts-droid-fallback | 14:36 |
| fsmithred | ^^^ anatak | 14:37 |
| fsmithred | I had to add that to see Chinese characters | 14:37 |
| anatak | I can see Japanese. I get some messages in Japanese now but I can't change keyboard to French yet or input Japanese. | 14:39 |
| anatak | I ll look for a solution tomorrow. Have a nice day/night. | 14:40 |
