[LAU] AVL2018 first impressions

[Dale Powell]

I really should reinstall an email client, it's always hard to get it nicely readable from the web client. Sorry guys....


Sometimes it's even intended that an app does use another keymap.
I'm using the English language for everything computer related, excepted
of a German keyboard.

...

When using Ubuntu flavour Live DVDs I often experience that while using
a terminal, for obviously no reason, the de keyboard layout gets
changed to the us keyboard layout. IOW within the same window, while
typing, the keyboard layout changes from one line to the next line.
All the letters, number and special characters used in my password are the same between the US and the UK keyboard so it would make no difference if the window is seeing the default setting or what I changed it to.

Do the GUIs ask for the root or user password? On my installs "su" as
well as "sudo" grant root privileges, but for "su" another password is
used, than for "sudo" (at least without an option to change the
user ;). Graphical apps could use gksu, gksudo or similar.

I didn't set up a separate root password to my admin user one. But I tried both mine and the default admin/root password as per the AVL manual and nether worked. (In truth I don't think I would ever use anything there as it's mostly update things I would do from the terminal I just happened to come across it as the button looked the same as the main Settings button.)

Regards, Dale.

If I use a calculator, I expect the calculator fixes the "," of the
German num pad. The "," on the num pad should become a ".", the "," and
"." on the other part of the keyboard should remain unchanged.

Some good Linux calculators are doing this, a lot of calculators that
belong to a desktop environment, don't do this.
