Symbol 'number'

[corban dallas]

One more trouble! I can't find symbol 'number' on my keyboard. Pc105 ru,win is set in my x.org. What's up?

Re: Symbol 'number'

You mean this: #?
That's called the number sign, pound sign, or many other names. On a standard US keyboard, it's above the 3 (i.e. Shift+3).

Doing a little Google search for Russian keyboard layouts, it looks like it's in the same place (on physical keyboards, anyway).

Re: Symbol 'number'

So you're using the 'winkeys' variant of the russian keyboard?

There seems to be a 'problem' with it (just tried) at least on Gutsy (and possibly older releases as well)

To correct the problem,

1. Open up the symbols file:

kdesu kate /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru

2. Search the section

xkb_symbols "winkeys" {

3. Edit line key <AE03> to read:

key <AE03> { [ 3, numbersign ] };

That should fix it (you may need to reapply your keyboard selection)

Re: Symbol 'number'

yes, it's right. it's my symbols from left to right in 1 row under ESC key on the russian layout:
Ё!"#*:,.;()_+
in the english layout:
~!@#$%^&*()_+
it's my part of x.org:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
option "CoreKeyboard"
option "XkbRules" "xorg"
option "XkbModel" "pc105"
option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scr oll"
