[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

 

@Leandro: I see that you have Ubuntu 14.04, so this is what you should
do: open "Software & Updates", select "Other Software", highlight the
cedilla-test item by clicking it and then click the "Edit..." button. In
the new window, state utopic as the "Distribution" instead of trusty. I
added an attachment which shows the window.

Once that has been changed, you should be able to successfully run

sudo apt-get update

Then you can do

sudo apt-get install xkb-data

or simply

sudo apt-get upgrade

Title:
  cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

Status in central project for keyboard configuration:
  Confirmed
Status in gtk+2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or UK-international), 
  typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla.

  There is a workaround, which is editing the

  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules

  file and changing the line

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"

  to

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

  (add the 'en' at the end).

  However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the change,
  and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again,
  logout and login.

  For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always something
  that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, because
  they don't know what to do each time this happens.

  I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that would
  be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the dead-key
  options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as US-deadkey-cedilla.

  This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
