    Language switching not possible

    Hi, me again.

    I am unable to switch through languages with Keyboard (Alt+Shift).
    How can I fix this? None of those shortcuts work even after reboot.

    I hope you defined at least two keabord layouts and set shortcut with System Settings - Regional&Language - Advanced - Keys to change layout.

      Sure, I have Sk and Us keyboard installed.
      I can switch languages by pressing the flag icon in system tray. But shortcut do not work.

      So I tried to edit xorg.conf manualy and I have this:
      Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
      Driver "kbd"
      Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
      Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
      Option "XkbLayout" "sk,us"
      Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
      EndSection

      Now I am able to switch languages, but US characters are weird.
      When I change to us keyboard, I have these characters when typing: "Ł€→¶Đ&`~¶~&ŧ€¶đ|→ŧ`↓𳀰{ø~¶Đ" (Weird characters with us keyboard)

      and the flag doesnt change

        I have no solution for you, maybe some other guys.

        Notes: I think you have something specially messed on your computer, because switching keyboards with shortcuts works fine. It's not something like network settings.
        Editing xorg.conf was a method which was used in Gutsy and Hardy. Now in Jaunty there is not a section for InputDevice in xorg.conf even if switching works, so obviously Jaunty uses other better way.
        I hope you don't use program kkbswitch, now it is not necessary to use it for switching and maybe even doesn't work correctly.

          I read now in other forum your thread "sound after install" and I found only at that time that you use Jaunty with Kde3. To both your problems - maybe it's time to switch to standard Jaunty with Kde4 - the problems will disappear.

            josefko, thanks for reply. I used jaunty with kde 4 but it seemed to me slow and sometimes unstable. I tried to solve it, but I gave up, so I tried kde3. I am more familiar with it
