[Bug 385064] New: Keyboard Layout settings don' t persist beyond current X session
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385064 Summary: Keyboard Layout settings don't persist beyond current X session Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: michael@liddle.net.nz QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- To use the "special" keys (e.g. web back/forward, calculator etc...) on my Microsoft Internet Keyboard I need to set this keyboard type in the Yast/SaX2 "Keyboard Layout". This works fine without needing to restart the X session. However when I log in again these keys no longer work. I start up the Keyboard Layout dialog again and the settings are correct (i.e. the same as I left them last time). If I make a trivial change to force resaving of the setting (such as changing the variant from "basic" to "euro" and then back to "basic"), then reapply it works fine again. -- 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.

The desktop provides user settings which are stored for your session and are also restored by the session handler. in sax2 you control the basic layout but not more -- 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.

I looked in the KDE Keyboard Layout and it was set to "US" or whatever. I changed this to the correct layout (same as is SaX2) and it worked fine. However, I'm sure that this is pretty confusing to new users (I spent quite a while wondering what the heck was going on anyway!), and certainly doesn't present a particularly "cohesive" experience. I've refiled this bug against the KDE component (though it should probably also be filed against GNOME and the other "..."s you mention), and I would suggest the following behaviour: 1. If the relevant user has never set a keyboard layout then any automatically applied layout should be the same as what is set is SaX2. 2. The same user can override the default system setting using their DE if they wish. Of course it goes without saying that I think that this makes sense for any system setting that is shared between YaST modules and DE specific configuration... Thanks, Mike. -- 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.
