    [SOLVED] Accents not working in some programs

    Hi everyone!

    I recently installed Hardy Heron. I set the locale to catalan, keyboard model Generic 104-key PC, and keyboard layout to Spain (es). To my (very limited) knowledge I installed all the Catalan and Spanish necessary packages.
    The problem is that I'm not able to type accentuated characters (regardless of the font used).
    I haven't tried to use deadkeys, but I wouldn't like to have to (I have a Spanish keyboard...)

    I'll appreciate any help you can give me.

    Best regards,

    Ruflus van der Flauen

    The explanation of the problem (and the solution!) is here:

    http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/69012

    Translation to English follows:

    It's a problem with the files /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale. Language option must be valid. I had the option LANG="ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia", when it should be only LANG="ca_ES.UTF-8" (for Catalan locales). Removing the "@valencia", executing

    $ sudo locale-gen

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

    and rebooting, everything works fine. I don't know if it's necessary to execute both commands, I did and it worked. There's at least another file containing "ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia", the path is /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local, but it's not necessary to change it to have the accents working (I did it just in case).

    Best regards,

    Ruflus van der Flauen
