http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1087555 Bug ID: 1087555 Summary: Configuring keyboard using Yast2 for German Keyboard with nodeadkeys survive a reboot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: a.nolting@almano.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- While I was exploring the bug report https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1055834 I figured out that Yast Keyboard Configuration does not handle the German keyboard settings properly. I'm working on a Asus ROG Gaming Laptop with an external keyboard from Corsair K95 RGB. I need constantly grave and other accents so I would like to configure German deadkeys using Yast Keyboard module. This setting is only working in KDE and console for the actual session. After a reboot the layout is back to German nodeadkeys. I investigated this issue and found that even if I manually setting up the system using localectl followed by a mkinitrd the settings are not saved. This is what /etc/sysconfig/keyboard looks like after changing the keyboard: ## Path: Hardware/Keyboard ## Description: Keyboard settings for the text console ## Type: integer ## Default: ## ServiceRestart: kbdsettings # # Keyboard delay time in ms (250, 500, 750, 1000) KBD_DELAY="" ## Type: string(2.0,2.1,2.3,2.5,2.7,3.0,3.3,3.7,4.0,4.3,4.6,5.0,5.5,6.0,6.7,7.5,8.0,8.6,9.2,10.0,10.9,12.0,13.3,15.0,16.0,17.1,18.5,20.0,21.8,24.0,26.7,30.0) ## Default: # # Keyboard repeat rate (2.0 - 30.0) KBD_RATE="" ## Type: list(bios,yes,no) ## Default: bios # # NumLock on? ("yes" or "no" or empty or "bios" for BIOS setting) # This setting may interfere with GNOME /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/remember_numlock_state GConf key. KBD_NUMLOCK="bios" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # ScrollLock on? ("yes" or "no") KBD_SCRLOCK="no" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # CapsLock on? ("yes" or "no") KBD_CAPSLOCK="no" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # Disable CAPS LOCK and make it a normal Shift key? # (Ctrl Caps Lock will still toggle Caps Lock functionality) # Note that you need to tweak the xkb maps or use xmodmap # if you want to do the same under X-Windows. In ~/.Xmodmap: # keycode 0x42 = Shift_L Shift_L # KBD_DISABLE_CAPS_LOCK="no" ## Type: string ## Default: # # ttys for the above settings # Example: "tty1 tty2" # "" for tty's 1-6 # KBD_TTY="" # The YaST-internal identifier of the attached keyboard. # YAST_KEYBOARD="german-deadkey,pc104" This is what I setup manually: localectl --no-convert set-locale de-latin1 localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap de-latin1 pc104 de terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp mkinitrd -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
