accentuation is not working

[alansenairj]

It is not accepting accentuation like "ã ô ó" etc.

Using Ubuntu21.04 pt-br

[keshavbhatt]

What do you mean by not accepting? I am able to Paste these characters and send them.

[alansenairj]

It is not working:

chrome:

[alansenairj]

that's my configs here:

[keshavbhatt]

Hi, I don't have those characters on my keyboard but I tried typing them with virtual keyboard app (onboard) it works perfectly fine here.

[keshavbhatt]

that's my configs here:

There is nothing in the settings that will prevent users from typing characters in text input.

[keshavbhatt]

Can you post the output of Whatsie when you start it from terminal ? Open terminal type whatsie hit enter to open app.

Copy the whole output from terminal to next comment here.

[alansenairj]

of course, here is the output:

[alansenairj]

I have no idea how to solve this. Could you help me? I'm using this gnome fonts here:

[keshavbhatt]

Can you change the system font to Ubuntu and try typing again?

[alansenairj]

I swaped to original fonts but I think it was some king of problem of "WhatsApp standalone core" in my system. Web whatsapp is ok via Chrome. I've been installing other Whatsapp apps for Linux and got same problem again. If I use Telegram app here dead keys are working perfectly.

[keshavbhatt]

I will look into it.

[jakley]

I'm Brazilian, I had the same problem with accents. So I downloaded the source code, installed qtcreator, loaded the code and compiled it, without making any changes to the code. The new executable allowed the use of accents. I have no experience with Qt, but if I can help with any information, just let me know.

[keshavbhatt]

The problem is i am not able to reproduce this issue on my system as well. I tried typing those characters with virtual soft keyboard and everything just worked fine. I have to test on other machines.

[alansenairj]

tcreator, loaded the code and comp

opa, tudo bem jakley, me passa a dica de como eu faço isso por favor?

Massa, "brazuca" na área hehhehe.

Então, eu uso ubuntu 20.04. Fui no site da Qt (https://www.qt.io) e baixei o binário do instalador on-line da versão open source.

No instalador eu escolhi a versão 5.15, vou logo avisando que instalou ~10Gb de arquivos.

Baixei e descompactei o .zip a brach main do código fonte do whatsie

Usando o QtCreator abri o projeto do whatsie

Escolhi o kit Desktop e a Build Profile

Compilei a build que gerou um executável do whatsie inclusive um atalho .desktop

Então foi só rodar o executável e seguir os procedimentos para vincular a conta

English version: Massa, 'brazuca' in the area hehhehe.

So, I use ubuntu 20.04. I went to the Qt website (https://www.qt.io) and downloaded the online installer binary of the open source version.

In the installer I chose version 5.15, I'll tell you that it installed ~10Gb of files.

I downloaded and unzipped the .zip a brach main from the whatsie source code

Using QtCreator I opened the whatsie project

I chose the Desktop kit and the Build Profile

I compiled the build that generated a whatsie executable including a .desktop shortcut

So just run the executable and follow the procedures to link the account

[jakley]

Eu só preciso saber como manter o whatsie funcionando sem precisar manter os 10Gb de arquivos do Qt.

@keshavbhatt você poderia me dar uma ajuda com isso?

Quando desinstalei o Qt fiz uma cópia das bibliotecas e tentei usar de forma manual, tentei em várias pastas, inclusive na pasta do projeto, mas sem sucesso.

Não queria ter que manter os 10Gb. Eu programo só em python, e só por hobby.

English version: I just need to know how to keep whatsie running without having to keep the 10Gb of Qt files.

@keshavbhatt could you help me with this?

When I uninstalled Qt I made a copy of the libraries and tried to use them manually, I tried in several folders, including the project folder, but without success.

I didn't want to have to keep the 10Gb. I only program in python, and just as a hobby.

[jakley]

The problem is i am not able to reproduce this issue on my system as well. I tried typing those characters with virtual soft keyboard and everything just worked fine. I have to test on other machines.

When I compiled the project I didn't need to make changes, I just compiled

I had no crashes and no error messages.

It compiled , and when I ran the program it started to accept accents

Portuguese version:

Quando eu compilei o projeto não precisei fazer alterações, apenas compilei

Não tive falhas e nem mensagens de erro.

Compilou de primeira, e quando executei o programa ele já passou a aceitar acentos

[keshavbhatt]

I will make an appimage for whatsie, and announce it here. You can use that to prevent the qt install. Also Qt do not take 10Gb, you should open the maintenance tool and remove unnecessary components.

[ibere82]

I am also Brazilian and I have the same problem. I want to try doing the walkthrough suggested by @jakley. Thanks @jakley. But 10 GB is too much. However, I want to expose the details about this problem to try to solve it. In Brazil, for example, to type the character 'é' (\u00E9), we first press the acute accent key, then we press the 'e ' key.

But, note that when we press the acute accent key, it doesn't show anything on the screen, but this event is captured and processed to change the result when we press the "e" key.

This is the behavior when using the physical keyboard, as the physical keyboard does not have a key to char 'é' (\u00E9). Thus, the combination of both keyboards events results in this unicode char. This is a behavior of a Latin keyboard Layout configuration. However, when you use a virtual keyboard, the behavior is different, probably because this keyboard must have a specific key for this unicode.

The issue with your app is not a screen output problem. If I type in another text editor, copy and paste into your whatsie, nothing goes wrong. Text with Latin characters is successfully pasted.

But, the problem happens when we type directly into your app. When I press the acute accent key and then the 'e' key, the result on the screen is the 'e' character and not the 'é' which is the expected behavior. This is likely a keyboard layout configuration error.

I think that the tests routines should dispatch the specific keyboards events to test the correctly latin layout keyboard configuration.

Thank for your attention.

[keshavbhatt]

wait for the appimage.

[RoinujNosde]

https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1936962 I've reported this bug on launchpad, it should help if you guys marked it as "This bug affects me".

[RoinujNosde]

@keshavbhatt unfortunately my issue was closed as invalid, they said the bug is due to how the app was built and you could discuss this on their forums.

[keshavbhatt]

I will open a forum post as suggested.

[RoinujNosde]

Post the link to the discussion when you open it, please. I would like to follow it.

[alansenairj]

Hi guys. I solved my problem here. It was a IBUS problem. I put it on IBUS mode here in Ubuntu 21.04:

Now everything is working very well. I hope you guys can solve it too.

I've tried this on Ubuntu 20.04, and it doesn't work, still no accents for Portuguese chars ( á,à,ó,é,ã) It only works if we copy-paste. Can you please fix this issue?

[keshavbhatt]

Hi can any one you try, whatsie from edge channel and let me know if the problem is still there?

snap refresh whatsie --edge

[RoinujNosde]

snap refresh whatsie --edge

Didn't fix it.

Edit: Also tried the commands you mentioned on #21

QT_IM_MODULE=xim whatsie and QT_IM_MODULE=ibus whatsie env QT_IM_MODULE=xim QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT=/snap/whatsie/current/qt515-core20/usr/share/X11/xkb QTCOMPOSE=/snap/whatsie/current/qt515-core20/usr/share/X11/locale snap run whatsie

None helped.

[keshavbhatt]

Thanks for the update. I am still trying to figure out a solution :(

[keshavbhatt]

Hi @RoinujNosde can you try running : LANG="en_IN.UTF-8" whatsie

[keshavbhatt]

The issue is fixed in 0483b030043f13fe048f575882ffb78d4177b479 You can refresh whatsie with snap refresh whatsie --stable to get the changes. Feel free to reopen for further assistance.

[manozzo]

hello. I made the refresh command, but the portuguese accents doesn't work yet =/ I just need do this command? snap refresh whatsie --stable ?

[keshavbhatt]

I just need do this command? snap refresh whatsie --stable ?

Yeah that is sufficient, you can also run rm -rf ~/snap/whatsie to remove the old configurations of whatsie.

[voltaxvoltax]

Updated to version 2, but the problem remains.

[RoinujNosde]

It's working here, thanks!

[stefanodefaria]

I still have this problem. Using version Whatsie version v4.7.1.e0d15c2, with IBus input system.

[joaorodrigo]

This bug is closed, but the problem persists, any update?

[Leolucas12]

Same thing here, using Xubuntu 22.04. If I try to change the language to pt-BR, restart the computer and open Whatsie, the accents work. But if the system language is en-US, the language I use, accents don't work. Tried to change the language in the Whatsie settings, but it doesn't seem to work.

[gtonussi]

Hi, just reporting that the issue remains, using latest version from snap and Ubuntu 22. I am also using my system in english. When I type "é ã" for example it just goes by "e a". It would be amazing if I could remain using the system in english..

[GoulartNogueira]

It might be related to Telegram's bug. It looks like they solved it:

https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/1041

[davincif]

I'm having the same problem. And notice that if I copy/past a "á", for instance, from another place to there, it works. But if I type it, it doesn't.

[gzmarcatto]

>snap refresh whatsie --stable
snap "whatsie" has no updates available
>rm -rf ~/snap/whatsie

Tried everything above, still not being able to use accentuation.

I'm having the same problem. And notice that if I copy/past a "á", for instance, from another place to there, it works. But if I type it, it doesn't.

And the behavior is the same for me, copy/paste works, but typing doesn't

[thiagorsti]

Same problem here. Using 4.10 version from edge channel. Any solution?

[lbdonato]

Same problem, Ubuntu 22.04, IBUS, my installation in english.

[fscosta]

I get this error when I run from the command line:

xkbcommon: ERROR: /snap/whatsie/142/qt515-core20/usr/share/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose:54:9: failed to open included Compose file "/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose": No such file or directory xkbcommon: ERROR: /snap/whatsie/142/qt515-core20/usr/share/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose:54:9: failed to parse file qt.xkb.compose: failed to create compose table

What is wierd is that the file is right there:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 531904 abr 3 2022 /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

Shouldn't it be looking for the pt_BR file instead of en_US?

[fscosta]

And the directory 'qt515-core20' does not exist, btw, in '/snap/whatsie/142/qt515-core20/usr/share/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose'

[Krauzer94]

I'm facing the same issue, been using WhatsDesk instaed, it works fine with the accets

[Mateus5187]

Galera se vocês estiverem com o sistema em inglês capaz do whatsie não reconhecer o acentos. tentem colocar o linux em português. Aqui estava enfrentando o mesmo problema. vão em idioma e região > gerenciar idiomas instalados - Alterem para português e reiniciem a maquina.

[FernandoJackMedeiros]

Same problem here... I don`t want to use portuguese as the system language..

[hpicelli]

Mateus5187, o grande problema é usar o sistema em ptbr. (the big deal is to use the system in pt-br).
