hi budgies, did anybody made CROATIAN KEYBOARD LAYOUT for budgie, or US with croatian letters that actually work? whichever system croatian layout included i try to change = no croatian letters. there is a git:
but it doesn`t work for my pc, already first command fails.
It’s already there 
If you have decent Xorg release, layout is already included - you don’t have to install anything - you can just set it by:
setxkbmap hr usor by setting up in xorg.conf:
Option "XkbLayout" "hr(us)"
To add a keyboard mapping in your Budgie,
go to « settings » then « Country & Language » then click on the [ + ] under « input sources »
It should look like :
thanx for the answer,
this xorg thing is not for me, too complicated for my terminal knowledge. however integrated budgie kbd layouts should work i guess. well they dont. all 4 croatian layouts look the same - no croatian signs of any kind. any of 4 croatian i select all the same - us. maybe its a bug on my pc. budgie 20.04. if i remember lately i tried budgie 16 or 18 i don`t remember - this croatian layout was working.
So… had you tried anything regarding Xorg ? Or did you do nothing because it looked too complicated ?
If you had tried something try to describe it, or to show the command lines you used.
I suspect something’s broken by your side, because here I can install Croatian keyboard :
edit :
I’d say these ones
⋅ xkb-data
⋅ xserver-xorg
⋅ x11-xkb-utils
⋅ keyboards-rg not sure about that one
Try reinstalling them using your usual package manager ( synaptic, gnome-package-kit, software… ) or
sudo apt install --reinstall xkb-data xserver-xorg x11-xkb-utils
On my system, these packages are installed :

maybe i return complete pc to budgie 18lts? it doesn`t have this problem.
Well, UbuntuBudgie 20.04 does not have this problem either, as you can see I had this Croatian keyboard installed.
Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data
Maybe some parameters and config’s that are not saved into your personal folder.
Let’s see there’s no rights and permissions issues there
find ~ -user root
find ~ ! -user $USER
If those answer nothing then it’s all good.
Or they will answer the files and folders belonging to root / not belonging to $USER
Guess also worth checking by creating a brand new user account and login. This will confirm if it’s a system wide issue or account specific.
