 In i3wm I inserted into the config
#i3wm #lang #ruu
Code: [Select]
exec_always "setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,ru -variant ,ruu, -option grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch"
to use the Russian-Ukrainian layout
so that when I hold down the right alt I can type letters from the Ukrainian alphabet

how to do it...  in lite? xfce?

Hello Philip ...

Is this the key sequence you're trying?

If I'm looking at the correct user manual for your laptop
http://www.manualowl.com/p/MSI/U270/Manual/119739
Press and hold the [Fn] key and press the Num Lock to toggle the keypad on & off
Thanks a lot, I had the same problem.

@Philip
You're welcome. Happy to hear things are working now. If one day you find yourself with a little extra time please come back and post the fix so others may use it in the future.

Scott,

thanks for reply. actually, i managed to solve my keyboard problem by doing something with the number lock key. (also, in the log in, i configure something like "do not auto release number lock key") Forgot what I did exactly but yes, the number lock key was the culprit and for some reasons, it automatically stayed "lock" after the installation. Now, it is okay and I am happy using Linux Lite 2. Thanks.

hi,

I am using MSI u270 netbook.

on my netbook, some of the keys eg key 'L' normally becomes '3' when 'FN' key is pressed.

After installing linux lite 2.0, it becomes reversed. if i f6rget to hold down "FN" key, when i want to type 'L,' it becomes '3.'

appreciate any he3p. Than2s.

This is a fault with the Ubuntu/Lubuntu build and only seems to affect UK keyboards. But the solution above works fine.

@Crab:  You can change your keyboard layout by going to Menu --> Settings --> Keyboard.
Then click on the third tab at the top, Layout
Uncheck Use system defaults, and then you can check on Add at the bottom to add the UK keyboard.
Then click on the UK line and move it to top
Don't recheck Use system defaults
If you choose, you can remove any undesired keyboard layouts
Good luck,  ~Richard

Have just completed a fresh install of Linux Lite 2.0 and its going great! The only problem i've come across is the keyboard layout. During installation i choose the UK keyboard layout but for some reason i've got the American keyboard layout. Does anyone know how i may change to  UK keyboard layout please.
