Keyboard problem

[lunedor]

keyboard dont work properly:

character cant move when I press arrows keys

chat dont work : I see what other players write, but I cant enter any text

when I press enter key, I switch to ubuntu main screen (another enter gets me back to RO)

keys "i", "p" and "s" give tech data, lag and screenshot, as if "alt" key where pressed

mouse works (i can interact with nearby npc)
music works
screen is complete

i'm on ubuntu 8.04

both characters have the same problem
I'm on Horus but it doesn't work on experimental server too

help me please

It sounds to me like your computer thinks you have the "Alt" key pressed in always (alt-enter would toggle fullscreen), I don't think this is a regnum issue, but either something wrong with the hardware (ie the keyboard itself), or a setting somewhere in your window manager.

[lunedor]

I've tested the keyboard here, it seems to work correctly with other softwares.
when I connect to RO, left and right arrows work to choose the character just before playing

As the computer where Ubuntu is installed has dual bot with Vista, I've installed windws version and it works (with lag)
So, we can exclude hardware as the origin of the problem.
however, i'd p be pleased to find a solution for ubuntu.

if you need me for any test, please, ask me

I have the same problem.
Also on ubuntu 8.04.

This happened only today after the newest update and was always working fine before, i.e. yesterday e.g.

Since the update I have had the same problem on Arch Linux, but only if i use gnome, which i prefer to kde. If i start Regnum on kde, there is no problem with the keyboard.

[lunedor]

I've installed KDE and it works. However if would be fine if il could work also with gnome

Lo siento, hablo espanol muy malo; so i speak english :

lol, don´t worry, holas will handle with that too. :P

Hum, I have a system in english, and my physical keyboard is in english too, but I did added long ago to my "keyboard preferences" the layout "USA international (with dead keys)" so I can use my beloved ñ, á, é, í... when I hit "layout options" in "keyboard preferences" it shows "layout switching-->both alt key together change layout".

Going back to the game, inside, if I press both ALT then the keyboard become "responsive" although I lost my ñs an ís... For those of us that have 'the fever" it is a walkaround that will do it -and for those of us that haven´t started the halloween quests-, BUT I am definetly VERY uncomfortable, I SHOULD be able to use MY keyboard as I please to, and DON´T say is a matter of my keyboard config, it WAS ok BEFORE the "update":cuac: sure NGD will say "there is no official support" you know what can you do with your official? Aint worthy enough the linux players? How many are we? Don´t they [ngd] will ever pass by here? what are they waiting for? end of the halloween event? next week? Community fix?

I am just so sick

Hi have the same problem but my sound is gone as well. I checked my Keybord layout and I had bothe Swedesh and USA so I removed the USA and the keyboard works in Regnum now... But as I sad no sound. I am using Ubuntu 8.10.

RicX Thanx for the keybord layout sugestion :)

RicX Thanx for the keybord layout sugestion :)Try to install openAL, might fix the sound problem.

Just dropped by to say that my keyboard setup has no problems.
I use the colemak (http://www.colemak.com) layout on Arch Linux, but I have nothing kde or gnome related installed though.

Perhaps try upgrading openal?

[BadOmen]

okay but do I need to configure and make an install?
I can't find it in Synaptic or is there a deb file somewhere?
I am using Ubuntu 8.10

[Znurre]

sudo apt-get install openal That should work, I guess.
I am not using Ubuntu so I cannot check it myself.

It's strange that you can't find it in Synaptic, it's a rather essential lib and I am sure it must be included in the repos.
Try to refresh your repos using Synaptic and then search again.

[BadOmen]

I found libopenal1 in synaptic and installed it and now I have sound! :D

Thanx you Znurre! :D
