Smile Localization LFS (keyboard switch)


I localized my LFS successfully to russian.
Messages from applications and even mc are localized.

/etc/profile

Code:
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
/etc/sysconfig/console

Code:
KEYMAP="/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ru-cp1251.map.gz"
FONT="/lib/kbd/consolefonts/cyr-sun16.psfu.gz –m /lib/kbd/consoletrans/cp866_to_uni.trans"
UNICODE=1

your question is unclear, but if you mean how do you get to use english, your easiest way is to to put the localisation stuff in ~/.bash_profile and use another user

su - somebody

then will add their enviroment. It's not straightforward, as no doubt you noticed.

In an X terminal use
Code:
setxkbmap -layout gb
to set a gb keyboard for instance, for console see this post:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...console-187987

Also please try google first as this link is the top entry when using 'change keyboard map in console linux' to search google.

I solved this problem and fully localized console input.

/etc/sysconfig/console

Code:
KEYMAP='/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ruwin_ctrl-UTF-8.map.gz'
FONT='/lib/kbd/consolefonts/koi8u_8x16.psfu.gz'
UNICODE='1'
Swither between keyboard layouts is defined as rightCTRL key.
