Ideas to Diagnose Keyboard Layout Problem

Post by DoctorWkt »

Hi, I am having some keyboard layout issues with Wine on Lubuntu 13.04 desktop, and I'm not sure what is the best approach to diagnose and debug the problem.

I am trying to run a calculator simulator called kArmTI_v40.exe (see http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?topic=13988.0). I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E330 laptop. When I run kArmTI_v40.exe under Wine 1.4.1, some keystrokes such as left and right parenthesis are not being recognised by the program, although the GUI shows that the shift key is being held down. The ( and ) characters are on top of the 9 and 0 keys.

I have also installed Lubuntu 13.04 desktop, Wine 1.4.1 into a VirtualBox on the laptop, and copied the kArmTI_v40.exe and associated filed (using rsync) into the virtual machine. When kArmTI_v40.exe runs in the virtual machine on the laptop, the parentheses keys work fine.

Note that the parentheses keys work fine in Notepad, just not in this program.

Can anybody suggest things that I could do to try and find out what the cause of my problem is, and how I could fix it? Any help greatly appreciated! [ more debug information below ]

Cheers,
Warren

Setxkbmap

Output from setxkbmap -query; setxkbmap -print (physical laptop and the VM):

Code: Select all

  rules:      evdev
  model:      pc105
  layout:     us
  xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"     };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
  };
Winedebug

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=+key,+keyboard wine kArmTI_v40.exe > key.log 2>&1
I've done the above and captured the output from both the physical laptop and the VM running on the laptop. Here is what I can see are differences.

On the VM where the parentheses keys work:

Apart from the window differences, diff doesn't show anything significant.

I captured the Windows keyboard events for both the physical laptop and Wine, and the VM and Wine. First up are the events on the VM where parentheses work:

Thanks. I upgraded to 1.6 today via the Wine PPA for Ubuntu. The problem persists though.
