[I fist posted this topic on the Ubuntu forums, but received no help. I now post it here because I've seen a lot of Kubuntu users with the same problem, and I don't think its Ubuntu-specific in my case either.]
Hi. After updating to Lucid Beta 2, dead keys didn't work in Anki, nor—presumably—in any KDE app (as described here) regardless of keyboard layout. while trying to fix it, I made matters worse, so I reinstalled Lucid. Same problem. For most people, "sudo im-switch -s default-xim" seems to fix the problem, but I get the error
No system wide default defined just for locale nb_NO .
Use "all_ALL" quasi-locale and set IM.
update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default-xim to provide /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL (xinput-all_ALL) in manual mode.
... and dead keys stop working in every app; in gedit (for example), not even æ, ø, å work (I have a Norwegian keyboard layout). This I fixed by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xini xserver-xorg" (both were probably not necessary). Had I figured it out before, I wouldn't have had to reinstall, but anyways: Dead keys still doesn't work in KDE apps like Anki, and this is a major problem since I have to use a lot of funny letters with diacritics, umlauts, accents etc.
Does anyone have any idea how this could be fixed. I haven't been able to find any solution of the problem when "sudo im-switch -s default-xim" does't fix it.
