French Canada multilingue keyboard

Tue Jan 20 15:36:14 UTC 2015

Hi Andre,

I should read Walter Lapchynski’s emails more closely. He had recommended installing FCITX instead of using IBUS. I just installed it through the terminal and the Canadian Multilingual Keyboard is available and works well.

Do you think I should uninstall IBUS and UIM as input methods?

But you guys change the keyboard physically? This is what I'm asking... I have a US type keyboard, but I set my laptop to Portuguese language. I have no problems to use characters like ç, and also I write on english with no problems.

You will need to use the script if you guys change the keyboard. Otherwise, you guys can keep the french multi layout activated... Just set the OS to change to it at boot.

Hi Andre,

I have Lubuntu installed in computer labs over here so we need the ability to switch between French Multilingual and US English keyboards. Some of our classes are taught in French and some in English.

@Jacques did you say that Ubuntu has the French Multilingual keyboard?

You guys could use a simple script to switch layouts if needed. Can you guys type in english properly with French language enabled? I guess the oposite won't work, since French has accents, english does not, so, it is very easy type on any latin language layout...

In this case (script usage), you guys might need to ignore that lxpannel tool (tray). It is very easy to remove it...

I have just realized that we are having the same problem as well.

We had to change our keyboard input method from IBUS to UIM because IBUS was causing problems with the Google Chrome browser. Using UIM resolved the Google browser issue but there is no French multilingual keyboard and as Jacques mentioned we don’t have access to the @ either.

We have almost 200 devices converted to Lubuntu and I will now have to figure out how to get the French multilingual keyboard working on all of them.

Any possibility of an update to fix this? Seems to me this should be a basic feature available right after an install.

    I need to install the French Canadian keyboard in Lubuntu.
The french canada keyboard included with Lubuntu is not the good version
We need to be able to type @
there is no @ in the French Canada keyboard of Lubuntu
That is an aberation and the OS is unusable !!!!
So tell me a simple way to add the French Canadian Multilingue keyboard or I install Centos 6.6
Centos is working well.
