[Bug 656189] New: cannot change keyboard layout selection (only in KDE4 per user)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656189 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656189#c0 Summary: cannot change keyboard layout selection (only in KDE4 per user) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hochglanz@googlemail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-DE; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-1.2 Firefox/3.6.12 I have a computer with a german keyboard and want to use a german keyboard layout (for all users on all Window Managers) In older days I said during installation that I'm using a german keyboard, but since openSUSE 11.2 it doesn't work any longer. 1. Sax2 doesn't have any longer a keyboard section and there is not any longer a xorg.conf file. Therefore the default keyboard layout is "us", correct? 2. So I must change the keyboard per user, correct? If yes, I think it's nonsense. I can do it in KDE4 system settings. 3. But the KDE4 system settings do not apply for example at XFCE Window Manager, so I must change the keyboard layout not only per user but per user an Window Manager - totally nonsense 4. Why is it not possible to change the keyboard layout in XFCE as it is shown in an oficial XFCE manual " http://www.xfce.org/about/tour?lang=en " The snapshot shows a tab in the keyboard settings which is not present in XFCE 4.6 on openSUSE 11.2 (using the XFCE repository). Is it not allowed to use a german keyboard layout in openSUSE's 11.2 XFCE? Any hints to solve the problem are appreciated Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a german keyboard on XFCE 2. 3. Actual Results: well, US keyboard Expected Results: well, german keyboard -- 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.

Exactly, that has become a runtime configuration as any other X input/output configuration.
ok, is there a global runtime configuration possibility? Please blame the xfce developers for not providing a keyboard
configuration setup.
Well, as my link in Nr.4 shows - the XFCE manual said, it's included in 4.6 - either the are wrong or openSUSE's XFCE 4.6 does not reflect the oficial 4.6 status. I fear, that an email to XFCE will say, it's included... -- 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.

No, how is this supposed to work? Let's say Xsessions of three different users are currently running. Do they want to let you have access to their displays, so anybody can change their keyboard settings? I don't think so.

Still X.Org is the wrong component here. Please open a new bugreport wit component xfce. -- 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.
