:: Keyboard Layout on Xorg ::

Bom, esta dica vai pra quem tem teclado abnt2 e não entende porque seu linux não obedece mais aquela boa e velha configuração de teclado no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Pra encurtar a história (quer saber mais? pesquisa no google), agora o Xorg obedece o que o hal tem a dizer sobre o assunto (input devices).

Então sendo bem direto, faça o seguinte:

• Digite:

# lshal | grep xkb

• O resultado deve ser algo como:

input.xkb.layout = 'us' (string)
input.xkb.model = 'evdev' (string)
input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' (string)
input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)
input.xkb.variant = '' (string)
input.xkb.layout = 'us' (string)
input.xkb.model = 'evdev' (string)
input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' (string)
input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)
input.xkb.variant = '' (string)

• OK, notou que está apontando para teclado com layout americano, certo?
• Copie o arquivo /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi para /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

#cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

• Edite o arquivo /etc/hal/fdi/policy e:

na linha que tem merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string" troque evdev por abnt2

na linha que tem merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string" troque us por br

• Reinicie o hal e teste o 'lshal | grep xkb" novamente:

input.xkb.layout = 'br' (string)

input.xkb.model = 'abnt2' (string)

input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' (string)

input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)

input.xkb.variant = '' (string)

input.xkb.layout = 'br' (string)

input.xkb.model = 'abnt2' (string)

input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' (string)

input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)

input.xkb.variant = '' (string)

input.xkb.layout = 'br' (string)

input.xkb.model = 'abnt2' (string)

input.xkb.options = 'terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' (string)

input.xkb.rules = 'base' (string)

input.xkb.variant = '' (string)

• Se estiver com o Xorg rodando, reinicie-o e pronto ;)

Ah pra que tudo isso? Bom, se você está usando um Window Manager como LXDE e Openbox... bom, eles não têm um configurador de layout de teclado como Gnome e o KDE têm. Então...

A real é que eu resolvi testar o LXDE no meu netbook, daí como tive problemas com o layout de teclado dentro do LXDE, o jeito foi aprender mais essa, e por conseguinte compartilhar com a comunidade.

Feita a boa ação de hoje, vou dormir!

:: Chromium on Slackware - Part 5 ::

Guess what, a quick post to inform that I have updated the chromium.SlackBuild at http://github.com/yucatan/chromium. The 'bigest' change is in regard of something I missed when I first came up with the script. The browser would run very fine, but miorimmax and guax pointed out that the javascript inspector (activated by Ctrl+Shift+J) would not work. So I studied the problem a little bit and found out the 'resources/'d folder was missing in the package. Now that's fixed and the inspector is working ;)

There are also binary packages there, i486 for slackware-13.1 and x86_64 for slackware64-current.

Oh, and most important, my slackbuild was accepted at www.slackbuilds.org. But, the version which is available there is the old one. Wait just a bit to download it (if you don't trust the script from my github repository) because I have already submited the update to SBo.

OK, job done

:: Chromium on Slackware - Part 4 ::

A very quick post to inform that I finally created a repository for this project on github: github.com/yucatan/chromium

Now all the updates will be done there. Enough of waiting on rapidshare for you guys ;)

:: Chromium on Slackware - Part 3 ::

OOOOK, more news on the subject. I finally built chromium packages from those smaller sources, so a new slackbuild was born and new packages of chromium are ready. Plus, a new dependency (yasm) showed up, but that's no big deal. On Slackware64-13.1 and current we already have the package for yasm. If you are running Slackware-13.1 (32bit) you will need to build the package yourself (get the the slackbuild here.

Bellow are the links to download the slackbuild and the packages:

• chromium.SlackBuild
• chromium-7.0.542.0-i486-1_ken.tgz
• chromium-7.0.544.0-x86_64-1_ken.tgz

Edit: I just edited the links above!

OK, have fun and don't forget to tell me if you have any problem with them.

:: Chromium on Slackware - Part 2 ::

A very quick post just to share the news. Today I came up with the SlackBuild script for Chromium, plus two new packages, one for x86 and one for x86_64. Ah, and I changed the repository from mediafire to rapidshare.

To download go here (the links are now dead, please the post "Part 3"). It should open a "folder" containing the three files. Download whatever suits you best.

Feedback is welcome, of course.
