Serbian (Latin) in LinuxLite 2.0, on Samsung NC10

[yokozuna]

Hello,

I tried running Linux Lite 2.0 from a USB live session on my Samsung NC10 netbook (which I intend to install on the hard drive, but only after solving the issue I’m opening this thread about).

The only problem I have is that Serbian characters don’t appear when typing in office programs or text editors. I added the appropriate keyboard layout, but the keyboard doesn’t produce the specific characters for my language (Š, Č, Ć, Đ, Ž).

Is there a way to solve this (since I’m pretty new to Linux), or should I try a later version of Linux Lite? (I’m not sure up to which version this laptop would still work.)

I’m already using LL 7.6 on my main PC (which I mostly use as a kind of TV), and since it works perfectly, I decided to try Linux Lite on this old machine (originally designed for Windows XP).

Everything works as it should, except the Serbian Latin keyboard. If anyone has a workaround, please share. Thanks!

Language support has been improved since Linux Lite 2.x.
Does your 7.6 system support the characters you need ?

Support for Linux Lite 2.x ended in 2019. Currently supported Linux Lite versions are 6.x (supported until April 2027) and 7.x (supported until April 2029).

However, both 6.x and 7.x are only in 64 bit so will not run on a 32 bit machine..

As far as I can tell, the NC10 dates back to 2008 and has a 32-bit processor.

Yes, 7.6 ver. iz working beautifully and has those characters. And yes, you are right, NC10 is 32 bit machine, so I suppose maybe I can try some versions in between... I'll get back...

The last 32bit version of Linux Lite was 3.8. Support for LL 3.x ended in April 2021.
Good luck.
