Ok, but how to change keyboard layout to azeri latin.

Are you sure it exists?

[namco]

of course yes,
in ubuntu, in fedora in opensuse there is an azeri latin keyboard layout.
and i dont believe that in debian it's impossible.
If you can help me please, its very important for me

Hello,

Is that a 'qüerty' layout? If so, do you have 'Azerbaijan default' option in the keyboard layout selector? That's where it is in Lenny. The two options are 'default' and 'cyrillic'.

It doesn't show in the 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' lists, so I presume it's for X only.

If you are so sure put into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf something like this:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Generic Keyboard"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option      "CoreKeyboard"
   Option      "XkbRules"   "xorg"
   Option      "XkbModel"   "pc104"
   Option      "XkbLayout"   "us,az"

   Option      "XkbOptions"   "grp:rwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

Note: Option "XkbVariant" "cyrillic" is excluded.

Hope that helps.

Hello dear friends,
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 9.6 (stretch) for few months. Today I decided to add Azerbaijani(Latin) language layout to my keyboard and I failed. First I tried the native keyboard setting of Debian and it only gives the Azerbiajani(cyrillic) and I think that it is several years that the official language alphabet in the country is changed to Latin version. Then I tried Ibus and unfortunately Azerbaijani was not among of them. I also tried

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure console-data 

and it didn't show any option for Azerbaijani. Is it possible to add Latin version of Azerbaijani? I have used it frequently in Ubuntu or Manjaro.

Actually I was able to add Azerbaijani keyboard layout just by using the native keboard setting. The problem was that the list of the languages are in the tree form and If you click on + sign in front of Azerbaijani language it will expand and the only given option is cyrillic while if you just click on the +Azerbaijani which is the title of the expanded subtree, you can add the new layout in Latin form.
