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:

> **[kost/Croatian-US-linux](https://github.com/kost/Croatian-US-linux)**
>
> Croatian US keyboard for Linux. Contribute to kost/Croatian-US-linux development by creating an account on GitHub.

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:
> 
> ```auto
> setxkbmap hr us
> 
> ```
> 
> or by setting up in xorg.conf:
> 
> ```auto
> 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 don`t. all 4 croatian layouts look the same - no croatian signs of any kind. any of 4 croatian i select all the same - us. maybe it`s 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 :

 ![croatian_kbd](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/ubuntubudgie/original/2X/3/39ca7d9e9a8e3af7603095f91cb92275d30d359f.png)  
Maybe some packages to reinstall ( if I find which ones, I’ll edit this message ).

* * *

_edit :_

I’d say these ones  
⋅ [xkb-data](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xkb-data)  
⋅ [xserver-xorg](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xserver-xorg)  
⋅ [x11-xkb-utils](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/x11-xkb-utils)  
~~⋅ [keyboards-rg](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/keyboards-rg)~~ not sure about that one

Try reinstalling them using your usual package manager ( synaptic, gnome-package-kit, software… ) or

```auto
sudo apt install --reinstall xkb-data xserver-xorg x11-xkb-utils

```

On my system, these packages are installed :

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

```auto
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.
