Hello Salix user,

Yesterday I install Salix Openbox on really old computer and I have to say this desktop now runs like a new one . I had lost hope to do some things with this Desktop after testing all small distro based on LXLE, XFCE etc ... Going through Debian, Manjaro, PCLinuxOS, Lubuntu, LXLE and much more. The only one that managed to turn this old desktop quickly without slowing down or freezing is Salix Openbox. My only problem is to put my keyboard in * French Canadien * or other option is * Canadian multilingual *

During installation, I indicated * cf * in the list of choices (qwerty) but the problem is that there is no accent like this: é, ç, é, â, '


That hopefully solve this problem quickly.

Thank you in advance

Can you try this: or this: or this: It seems that for some reason instead of "ca" the keyboard is set to "ca_enhanced", which is probably not valid...

Thank for your answer !

Great with * ca *

Recap if other people have a same problem
1. You need to edit in root ( command terminal is: sudo spacefm and enter your password )
2. go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and open this file * 10-keymap.conf * for edit
3. Change this end of line: Option "XkbLayout" "ca_enhanced" by just "ca"

In French

Pour ceux qui ont installé Salix OpenBox et que vous êtes Canadien Français, vous aller avoir ce problème d'accent. Alors voici la procédure

1. Passer en root avec la commande terminal * sudo spacefm * et entrer votre mot passe pour ouvrir le gestionnaire de fichier
2. Aller à /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ et ouvrir le fichier * 10-keymap.conf * pour l'éditer
3 Modifier la fin de la ligne suivante: Option "XkbLayout" "ca_enhanced" by just "ca"

Voilà c'est fait !

OK, so i will update keyboardsetup to use the correct "ca" layout instead of "ca_enhanced" when the "cf" keymap is selected. So, all you'll have to do in future versions is to just select the "cf" keymap. Thanks!

Perfectly ! Another big thank...
