    About the keyboard layout.

    I use KDE 4.1 so it's might be related to it.

    Some observation about this issue:

    1. When I try to type russian, I get the text as if I was typing in english.

    2. I can type german characters.

    3. When I remove the english layout, I can type only german specific characters.

    4. I can type russian in other programs and they are displayed properly.

     

    Anyway the layout isn't a high priority now because it's impossible see the text in most cases anyway.

    Though these issues don't affect me much as I use NDN mostly for working with files and as a configurable IDE.

     

     

    About ignoring keypresses.

    Konsole works fine for me but I have this problem with xterm.

    Note: when "focus follows mouse" enabled(it's a KDE option), NDN never gets keypresses.

    Firstly, I apologize for the delayed feedback.

     

    The main problem(crash at startup) is finally fixed so I can use it finally!!!

    It's also good that I don't have to run as root anymore.

     

    I have the same problems as you have with various terminals. Hopefully it works well in Konsole. I also have other problems but they aren't critical for me now. NDN appears to not support the current keyboard layout and draws some Russian characters as question marks(it doesn't depend on a specific character, rather on whether it's editor or viewer). If this issue is confirmed by other people, it may be added at yet expanding the To-DO list.

     

    At this point, I highly recommend releasing a new NDN for Linux user because many Linux users(Ubuntu users in particular) can't use the current NDN version because of the crash.

    Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who have contributed to NDN and DN and other branches for such a great software. I've been using it so long that I can't possibly switch to anything else because I learned how to use most of features for my advantage and can't live without them now.

    I started to use DN when I was using DOS and after switching to Windows I was using several branches of DN and ended up with using NDN as become most advanced and developing branch. And now I'm going to switch to Linux so need the same program for Linux and unfortunately I have some problems with it. In the meantime I have to use Midnight Commander which is done in The Linux Way(split up environment into many separate programs rather then making one universal/integrated system), not that I dislike this principle but I want my work done and it's difficult to get used to something new after years of using NDN.

     

     

     

    (continued from Kubuntu Forums)

     

    Summary:

    Something has changed in Linux in X that causes many programs to crash with "locking assertion failure". The problem was first introduced at Kubuntu 8.04. It looks like no one works on the problem and in the meantime some workaround should be applied to every individual program which is affected. They say it's a bug in caller program(NDN in this case) which used to be non-fatal and has become fatal after some change in X. I don't know what needs the change but having seen affected programs, I guess the bug(in caller program) might be in a statically linked library which is used by the software.

    Disclaimer: I don't know anything for sure.

     

    NDN crashes dumping this backtrace.

    Here is the mailing list about the problem in X:

    1. NDN does work in TTY, probably the same effect as you have when running in recovery mode.

    Always run NDN with SUDO, else there will be no hardware/screen access (vcsa, IO).

    It works in TTY with SUDO as well as recovery mode. It would be good if it could work without full access but I can live with it.

     

    2. Can you post your "env" output here?

    Note: I haven't installed Russian localization yet because I don't want screw up fonts, code pages and keyboard layout switching.

    By the way another important problem in Linux is:

    ALT key doesn't work in NDN.
