Dear all,
I hope I am on topic here.
After a clean Installation of Kubuntu 20.04 LTS (previous version 19.04 with limited support)
I am facing the problem described below In all Kubuntu applications (where I have to type In Greek language) like Kate, LibreOffice etc.
Only exceptions are the web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. There everything works fine.
I am using a Lenovo x230 laptop with British keyboard. The British keyboard was never before a problem and i believe not here i s the case.
Environment languages are First the US English and second the Greek Simple.
The problem Is that I cannot type the most important Greek special character (accent) : tonos (')
e.g. I cannot type the word καλός but instead I come up with the word καλ'ος.
We type the special character need to be shown above the letters by pressing first the :; key next to L and then the specific letter we want to have the special character combined.
The result Is that I cannot practically use edit or create a descent document or note etc. In Greek language.
I did first a lot of searching through forums or other resources.
Many similar problems but referring to other distros and very old versions.
I tried also a lot of combinations regarding Regional settings and keyboard layouts but with no success.
I hope there Is a solution out there simple or hard
Thanks for your attention!

Did you report this to Kubuntu? This very much looks like a bug to me, I guess it did work before, didn't int?

Hello, thank you for your response!
I did not reported this yet,
To be honest I am not sure how to do that.
Never had any serious issues with distros during the years and most of my problems solved after a little search through forums and communities.
I just realized the problem and this Is the first time I cannot find a solution without asking help
In my previous version 19.04 everything worked fine, the only reason I decided to clean install the LTS version was the end of support.
I just wanted to see If everyone else had a similar problem.
I am not sure if i did something wrong during the installation but I don't think so.

regards

You can open the Menu and type

Code: Select all

ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-input-evdev

in the search field, this should get the bug report application started. Make sure to select the option "regression"

I assume the problem is in evdev as that is the driver that should handle they keyboard layouts
