switch beetwin languages & clock

#1 Post by nikospg »

Hi all,

I have my first installation of MX and presented 2 problems.
One is the clock. Insist to show USA time.
Second is the language switch. I came from gnome so i got to use now Shift+Alt(any suggestions?) but it doesn't seems to work.

That is all. Nice to meet you!

You probably missed to select/set the timezone during install.
Do adjust your timezone with MX-Date-Time found in MX Tools:

We don't offer a language switch. You would select session locale/language during login at the upper right corner of the login screen. It defaults to the system-locale, which you can set using "MX Tools System Locale"

At login you can choose the session keyboard,

which defaults to system keyboard. (changeable with MX Tools system keyboard).
You can set multiple keyboard layouts using "Keyboards" (found in Settings) and
you can switch keyboards layouts using Alt+Shift if set accordingly in "Keyboards" make sure "Change keyboard option" is set.

After re-login, you can change keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift.

If you list more than one keyboard language in Settings > Keyboard > Layout, then a flag icon will appear in the systray which allows clicking to switch.
