using umlaut works in console, not in Citrix client
in [Debian]
|
From: Benedict Verheyen on 26 Apr 2010 11:40 Hi, i'm using Debian stable on a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop with an azerty keyboard layout (Belgian period) and when i use the Citrix client (v11), it doesn't translate all the key combinations correctly. I cannot use an umlaut with a small caps letter, it automatically makes the small letter a capital letter with an umlaut. It however works in the console and in an xterm, but not when i'm in citrix. If i change the keyboard layout to Dutch in the Citrix settings, then i'm able to use the umlaut key correctly. When dealing with Citrix i usually specify that the keyboard layout is specified in the User Profile, that's a Citrix option. I tried specifying it as Belgian Dutch but that doesn't work. The locale is "nl_BE.UTF-8" It's a rather annoying problem as i want to install Debian on all the old laptops we have and this is holding the conversion back. Any ideas?

I know nothing about Citrix client O:-), but found this forum thread: *** french keyboard layout Problem using german characters http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=252710&tstart=0 *** Using the same client version (v11) and having a same (similar?) issue. The only difference is that the user seems to be using a windows version of the Citrix client. Have you checked if there is a newer version of the Citrix client? :-?

It's a client setting allright. I tried setting the keyboard layout but that doesn't work. I think the keyboard mapping (kbd file) isn't correct. Anyway, from Windows, i don't have that problem. On Ubuntu, the situation is better, the native client has the same problem but when i try via the Citrix webinterface, then it works ! When i try the webinterface from Debian, that still doesn't work. If the Citrix webinterface works from Ubuntu, i should be able to fix it in Debian too.

Sure, if you are using the same client version (same package, coming from the same download site) it should also work in Debian. Compare the settings in both programs (they should be stored anywere under your user's profile).

I installed gnome as to have the same environment as the ubuntu machine. On both machines, using the native client directly produces the wrong umlaut output. If i use the webinterface of Citrix, he then also refers to the native client but then it works on Ubuntu (firefox). When i try the same on Debian (iceweasel), it still doesn't work. All settings are the same. My search continues :) Regards, Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
