All keys dead, but ØÆÅ£¤§

[embh]

Hi,

I'm trying to run an accounting program called Mamut DaTax. Running the installation part is not a problem, but when entering the program itself all keys are dead but the following: øæ壤§

I'm using a Norwegian keyboard, and wine version 1.3 under Kubuntu 10.04.

Any suggestions for how to approach?

Thanks

Best regards,
Erik

What happens when you switch to an English keyboard mapping? (I know
the program is written to Norwegian keyboard but this is just checking
out if the mapping file is good.)

I tried to change to US keyboard mapping. But that left me with dead keys only.

Thanks!

Dead keys? You mean that you get á when you press a, for example? (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key about the definition of dead keys.) Or did you mean they just don't input anything at all?

[embh]

Sorry. Seems as if didn't know the correct definition for "dead key".

No, it's not dead key. Instead I'm not getting anything at all except from when I'm typing the letters mentioned.

What is your locale set to (run 'locale' and post output here)?

[embh]

The output from 'locale' is:

LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

The Norwegian keyboard still works perfectly with øæåØÆÅ (the special Norwegian characters) in the terminal window.

LANG=en_US.utf8

You have to set correct locale for your language. Otherwise Wine won't detect keyboard layout properly.

I have now set my locale to nb_NO (Norwegian):

LANG=nb_NO.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_TIME="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_PAPER="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_NAME="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Now none of my keys are working, including those that used to work when using en_US.utf8.

Any further ideas?

Do they work in Wine's notepad?

[embh]

Yes, it works fine for all other applications. It's only Mamut that causes the trouble.

Since some of the keys work I hoped there could be some work-around for Mamut as well...

Yes, it works fine for all other applications. It's only Mamut that causes the trouble.

Then it must be doing something strange. Please file bug in Wine's bugzilla.

OK, thanks!
