[FreeNX-kNX] Nomachine 4 out....

[Marco Passerini]

I wrote a script for this. I added a menu with few language entries, 
which runs "script.sh en"  or "script.sh es" or "script.sh de" commands....
It adds the setxkbmap to the .bashrc file so that it's persistent across 
logins.

#!/bin/bash

# The script changes the keyboard mapping to the one chosen
# in the argument (e.g. fi, en...), and stores it
# to .bashrc in the user home folder, so that it's
# persistent across logins.

die () {
     echo >&2 "$@"
     exit 1
}

[ "$#" -eq 1 ] || die "1 argument required, $# provided"
echo $1 | grep -E -q '^[a-z]{2}$' || die "Exactly 2 letters required for 
keyboard layout, $1 provided"

LAYOUT=$1
BASHRC=~/.bashrc

if [ -f $BASHRC ];
then
   if grep -q setxkbmap $BASHRC
   then
     #echo 'An old entry is there, replace it'
     sed -i "s/setxkbmap.*/setxkbmap $1/" $BASHRC
   else
     #echo 'First occurance, add the keyboard mapping'
     echo "setxkbmap $1" >> $BASHRC
   fi
else
   #echo '.bashrc file missing! Create a new one and add the mapping'
   echo "setxkbmap $1" >> $BASHRC
fi

#echo 'Now set it for the running shell'
setxkbmap $1
