Hello, i have just installed fedora Kinoite on a dell latitude 7390, eveything is working very very good but i have a problem, can annyone explain why maliit-keyboard has no input language korean?
doing “ls /usr/lib64/maliit/keyboard2/languages/” under Kinoite there is no “ko” mapping. but maliit supports korean, if you see their github, see here: keyboard/plugins/ko at master · maliit/keyboard · GitHub
Maliit Keyboard, a free software virtual keyboard for Linux - maliit/keyboard
I have seen maliit is at its latest version on kinoite but there is no korean. I need it because my wife is Korean…
ls /usr/lib64/maliit/keyboard2/languages/ko ls: impossibile accedere a ‘/usr/lib64/maliit/keyboard2/languages/ko’: File o directory non esistente
this is very strange as for example, japanese and chinese mappings are there
thanks in advance

I suspect you can get a better answer over at https://discuss.kde.org/ as I think malliit is a kde project.
I do know that there is a replacement virtual keyboard being developted becuase of issuses with maliit, also I think as a kde project.

I have opened an issue on the maliit github repo, as ko language looks not included in the CMakeLists.

Hello,
i have just installed fedora Kinoite on a dell latitude 7390, but maliit… -keyboard has no input language korean
doing "ls /usr/lib64/maliit/keyboard2/languages/" under Kinoite there is no "ko" mapping. But as you can see Korean mappings are there:
https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/tree/master/plugins/ko
After investigating a bit I discovered that "ko" language is not included in the CMakeLists (line 279-314):
https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt
Can you tell me why?
I need korean language on maliit or I have to switch to another on screen keyboard.
Thanks in advance
But this is what they answered to me:
" It very much is included in the build right here . If it’s not installed on your distribution, it sounds like a problem with their packaging perhaps."
This is the fedora lackage:
Why should I open an issue on kde forums?
The issue should be in the fedora packaging I guess, but I don’t know how to check that.

Okay then it sounds very much like a Fedora issue, open a bug report against Fedora. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bugzilla-file-a-bug/ is you are not sure how to raise a bug report against Fedora.
