[Bug 551685] New: GNOME Keyboard Layout defaults to English-US even though English-UK picked during installation
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551685 Summary: GNOME Keyboard Layout defaults to English-US even though English-UK picked during installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rdb@ccb.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 Firefox/3.5.4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) openSUSE 11.2 RC2 installed with a default Gnome installation, with Locale and Language set to English (UK) during the initial installation. After initial boot, Keyboard layout in GNOME is defaulted to English-US, with various keys therefore mapping incorrectly (Shift+2=@ instead of " for example) System Keyboard setting is set as expected, with Shell correctly using English-UK keyboard settings Going into Gnome>Control Centre<Keyboard shows both English UK and English US available. Workaround: Removing English US from the configuration immediately sets Gnome to the correct English UK setting. This is a major issue for UK users of openSUSE, but perhaps also other international users if the behaviour occurs on other localisation settings.

The behavior is the same as described in #1, just my keymap is set to Spanish. Additional info: 1/ On every reboot, the Spanish keymap and the English-US one are both defined in the keyboard settings. 2/ On every reboot I have to manually delete the English-US one to get active the Spanish one. 3/ This mess only happens in X. Going to any tty the keymap is correctly detected and configured. 4/ Manually editing "xorg.conf" has no effect: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Driver "kbd" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "es" Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection 5/ Under "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard" "KEYTABLE" value is set to "es.map.gz". 6/ "/etc/hal/../11-keyboard.fdi" has "input.xkb.layout" set to "es". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I fiddled around heavily with my openSUSE 11.2 system (upgrading it to 11.3 M7, not being satisfied, downgrading again) and eventually leaving it with a US keyboard setting. Changing the keyboard setting to German went fine for non-X11 applications, but the whole X11 still insisted to operate with a US keyboard layout. The key (sic) to the solution was the file /etc/X11/xdm/keytable4hal. This script is executed each time the XDM is restarted and finds out the correct keyboard settings. However, it does not do it quite right: If the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-keymap.fdi exists, it simply reuses the keyboard layout from the previous X11 session. Therefore the workaround is this: rm /fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-keymap.fdi /etc/init.d/xdm restart This recreates a proper /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-keymap.fdi and off you go. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
