Keyboard Input Methods don't work on Linux version of FreeOffice

Post by annavan »

Recently, I bought a new Chromebook( Acer Chromebook 314 CB314-1HT). Because I am a Vietnamese, I changed the Input Methods to Vietnamese( Telex) and Vietnamese(VNI). The ones work really great on Chrome browser, Playstore applications and in File Manger. However, when I installed Linux application of FreeOffice via DEB file, I cannot type any Vietnamese characters even though I had changed the input method from the US( default) to Vietnamese (Telex or VNI) before opening Linux container. I also tried some other languages like French, German but it didn’t work too. It is likely that the Input Methods only supports English(US)-the default input method on any Chromebook. I also noticed that I needed to install another package of libreoffice(sudo apt install -y libreoffice libreoffice-gtk3) to make libreoffice have the ability to type Vietnamese letters with the US keyboard because if I only installed the default command(sudo apt install libreoffice), it didn’t work like Free office 2024.
