The configuration should be done via a script so no GUI is possible to use. yast2 seems to have the needed functionality, but it doesn't work. With yast2 keyboard set layout=german yast2 language set lang=de_DE the layout and the language should be set to "German", but it remains US English. Manually to "de" edited layout in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf disappears and gets set back to "us" after reboot. When I run yast2 keyboard summary yast2 language summary it says that "German" is set. But keyboard is still english. If I use the yast2 text gui the language is set properly. LDAP configuration is not working too (text gui doesn't work either). yast2 ldap pam enable server="192.168.1.2" base="dn=nodomain" tls=no mkhomedir=yes yast2 ldap pam enable Debian/Ubuntu systems can authentificate with this LDAP server. Are this bugs? Do workarounds exists or do I make anything wrong? Would be nice, if anybody could help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yast2 keyboard set layout=german 2. yast2 language set lang=de_DE 3. yast2 keyboard summary 4. yast2 language summary 5. Try to write German letters 6. yast2 ldap pam enable server="192.168.1.2" base="dn=nodomain" tls=no mkhomedir=yes 7. yast2 ldap pam enable 8.

The problematic part is keyboard, I'll try to reproduce.

OK, X11 keyboard layout is not set when you run YaST in text mode. Try calling the command in xterm of your graphical environment. I assume that the console keyboard layout got changed to German, right?

You need to write the KEYTABLE variable to do this. The mapping is specified in /etc/X11/xdm/Keyboard.map. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf is generated by /etc/X11/xdm/keytable, which is started by /etc/init.d/xdm init script.

So where should I write the KEYTABLE variable? I guess that not to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf, which would be rewritten by /etc/init.d/xdm. -- 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.

Great!

Setting 'KEYTABLE="de"' in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and "rcxdm restart" worked :-)

You do not have to write it value manually. The point is, that your 'yast2 keyboard set layout=german' command should write it, so it is indeed capable of setting the keyboard layout right. You haven't seen it before because xdm restart (or reboot) is needed. AFAIK xdm script always reads the sysconfig value on start, so that should answer your other question. -- 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.

Many thanks for your help :-) Running 1. yast2 keyboard set layout=english-us 2. yast2 keyboard set layout=german sets the keyboard layout correctly in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. Is it possible that the error ocurred, because my first setting "yast2 keyboard set layout=german" was with the old version of yast2? -- 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.

Actually I think it worked from the first time, but at that time you did not know you need to restart xdm. Later, when you wrote that sysconfig/keyboard was not modified by YaST, this was caused by your manual changes to that file, see comment 22. Finally, this can be closed as invalid (= no bug). -- 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.
