[digiKam-users] KDE systemsettings - locale or keyboard

[Sveinn í Felli-2]

Hi,

Using Digikam from digikam-6.4.0-x86-64.appimage on Linux Mint 19.3
Cinnamon; Digikam displays accented Icelandic letters, but I'm unable to
insert any such in any input-box. This is most annoying when inserting
tags or template information. Must be missing some locale- or
keyboard-setting.

Previously, when fiddling with themes or locale settings, I'd install
systemsettings and perhaps kde-config-somepakcage and solve the issues
graphically. But these days the KDE System Settings only has some
networking modules.

Does anyone know which package (in Mint/Ubuntu) contains the Regional
Settings and/or keyboard related modules for KDE System Settings?
Does it work with the appimage?

best,
Sveinn í Felli

PS: ~$ localectl status
        System Locale: LANG=is_IS.UTF-8
        VC Keymap: n/a
        X11 Layout: is
        X11 Model: pc105

Hi,

Before to complain about the KDE system settings, try to reproduce the
problem with another desktop as Gnome for ex. Just to be sure that
something is missing in your Plasma installation.

Best

There is no Plasma installation, just the dependent packages drawn in by
the installation of the 'systemsettings' package. This used to be
enough, plus some of the 'kde-config-*' packages (respective
CP-modules), but now I'm asking if anyone knows which package (for
debian-derivatives) would provide the locale/keyboard modules.

It is a known problem that has been reported in the bugtracking system and
it's still present in the last 7.0.0-rc appimage:

Cool, thanks for the pointer. Yes, this is what I experience, but it
happens also in templates and other input text.
So it may be rather a QT problem.
