[Bug 682903] New: KDM does not use locale keyboard settings
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682903 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682903#c0 Summary: KDM does not use locale keyboard settings Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mroeben@uni-bremen.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Having a system with a german keyboard layout, KDM ignores this. My user root is primarily english with a german keyboard layout. All local users are primarily german. This works fine on a terminal. root: german keyboard, english ouutput of programs, local users everything is german. Now I recognized that KDM is still using a english keyboard layout. This is confusing especially when using password with special characters. Changing ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" to "yes" doesn't change anything. Ok, I also don't know how KDM is started, but I guess it's somehow related to root. Nevertheless, KDM should use in this case a german keyboard layout. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. root primary language englisch 2. keyboard layout german Actual Results: KDM still uses the englisch layout Expected Results: KDM should use a german layout. There should be some configuration available in Yast(?) to change the layout. Maybe there should be also a dropdown menu directly in KDM to be more flexible. Please contact me for more information. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hmm. What's the entry for /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KEYTABLE? Please also attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf.
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KEYTABLE KEYTABLE="de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz" /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "LocalKeyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection So, nothing wrong there. Isn't it? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Let's see if you can find something suspicious.

As far as I can see there are no Xkbmap* files in /etc/X11. I've attached the output of 'ls -R' so you can check it. Maybe I have overseen something.
I can't see such a file either. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[ 81.211] (EE) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: failed to initialize for relative axes. [ 81.211] (II) Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000: initialized for absolute axes.
Maybe that's the issue why keeping "german" keyboard doesn't work. Is there a trackball/touchpad whatever built in? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hmm. Still not upstream that patch.
Does it mean that the patch cannot be applied on openSUSE? I'd like to know it to build the package for my own if not possible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I didn't say that. Usually we don't add patches, which haven't been upstreamed yet. Otherwise you end up with no longer maintainable and partly broken sources. We don't want that.
But you didn't say the opposite either (and you haven't said if it's going to be included or not in your answer), hence my question, :D. Note that I'm not complaining, it's just that I'd like to know the procedure to act in consequence. I understand the "not upstreamed, not included" policy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
