I'm a new linux user. I also use Windows 7.
I write in English & French using the USA International Keyboard on Windows ... this works well with 'overstike' (eg, '+e = �). I'm sure there's a linux term for this.
I don't mind making a full keyboard definition myself, but I don't know how & there must be a simple way to get this done.
I really need a full, detailed reference to doing this ... including where to find the various directories (I HAVE found the 'Terminal', but that's it !).
Just a link to a doc or wiki would be welcome ... the web searches I've done have given answers that are too cryptic for my level.
TIA.

I'm using a Swedish keyboard and switch to English for certain terminal commands. I use English as the system language. In both mint 13 and 15 I was able to keep the Swedish layout after restart; now I have to set the keyboard to Swedish after every restart. In 15 it was possible to have a persistent keyboard layout which differed from the system language. I think it was throught regional settings. In 13 I seem to remember using a command from the terminal which I can neither remember or find. Its not a big thing to set the keyboard layout after restart but its rather annoying. Any suggestions?
Hi, all! So I am taking a Linux O/S class for my degree requirements. The book we are using is "Linux Bible" - 8th ed. by Christopher Negus. Per our instructor, I am accessing Fedora via Oracle VM VirtualBox. Negus refers to a Windows keyboard when he instructs us to enter, for example, Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open a virtual console. Where can I find a list of MAC keyboard equivalent key combos or will I have to assign them myself?
My instructor was no help with this question and told me I would have to scour the Internet which i have to no avail.
I have an assignment due and I can't follow along until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
I just started using Linux Mint 17.1 and so far I like it. I just have one small problem with it, all the print goes out of focus unless the mouse is hovering over it. This just started happening a couple days ago. I know it's my fault, as my 2 year old got hold of the keyboard for 10 minutes before I realized what it was she was playing with. It seems that all the icons, windows boarders, pictures, and such are not effected, just the text. Anyway to correct this blurriness?

I am running linux mint from a live usb loaded with unetbootin for windows. It works with my wireless logitech USB mouse, but the touchpad itself is unresponsive. Keyboard including FN keys are indeed working. I am on an asus EEEPC netbook. I tried making sure the touchpad was turned on vai the function keys. I have also checked in system settings the touchpad is enabled. Any solutions anyone?
Hello to everyone!
I was working on a linux server before few weeks. There was a grub/keyboard issue. If no keyboard is attached (ps port) the grub isn't loading the operating system. If the keyboard is attached the grub is loading the operating system by default without any keyboard interaction.
The difference is only that there is a keyboard attached. Thats all.
I was searching on the web and one thing came along: "turn on/off 'stop on errors' feature in your bios.". Maybe its this, but tonight I'm not able to check if its this becuase the server is in a remote location.
However I would like to hear what you think of this problem.
Have a good time!
Hey-yo,
I have problems with my keyboard and mouse sometimes when I turn my laptop on. They're just not working. Somewhere I read that it has to do with a so-called "blind registration" and that I only have to tip in my password. But no matter how many times I do that it doesn't work. I'll always have to turn off my laptop and turn it on again, hoping that it works.
I only have Linux for two months and that's the only problem I got until now. Please help ^-^'
Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is not working in Linux distro's.
Read the similar threads on this issue. Boot mode is set for UEFI and Legacy therefore not sure what to do to enable mouse and keyboard? The mouse and keyboard use the same 'receiver' and the receiver indicator is green when Linux distro is fully loaded. Have tried various distro's, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distro's using LIVE DVD method on all. Latest distro tried is Peach 14.04.1 TW.40 64 bit. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, CPU AMD FX6300 3.5 Ghz six core.
Thanks for any assistance.

I am using Debian 7 KVM in a cloud and I find the keyboard buffer in a terminal window is about 35 characters in length thus when I run my keyboard emulator, I have to pause after 35 keys in order not to overflow the buffer.
I want to be able to login and dump the instructions to the KVM server then go to the next one. e.g If I wanted a mass roll out of Yacy search engines or other applications.
I know no Human can type that fast. But my Program can on the PS2 interface.
The USB keyboard port maxes out a 700 WPM

I want to modificate a Linux distro but i haven't knowledge for this.
What i want to do is put it in a machine and let it in a public place. It should have keyboard so people can type the things as they want. But i cant allow shortcuts, terminal or tty to be opened by this keyboard. I am thinking about 2 keyboards with different permissions. To the mouse my idea is touchscreen.I should also make a good gui so it can be more pleasant to the people. And as the idea grows i want to add more features. But i really lack knowledge to do so. Could someone give me tips of books to guide me trough this path?
Since I have not found a solution to my intermittent boot problem I'm thinking of reinstalling Linux Mint, switching to a different Linux distribution, or turning back to the dark side, i.e. Windows. This was my first Linux install and I was really impressed with the OS and the applications. I like Linux Mint but I want a reliable computer and if I cannot even get it to boot properly then that's a long-term concern.
The problem with a reinstall of Linux Mint is that I don't know what to do differently. I don't know what, if anything, I did wrong the first time. Of course, switching to a different distribution is also a crap shoot since I don't know what went wrong with Mint. I don't really want to go back to Windows but it's been a stable, reliable OS for me for years.
Anyone have any advice?
