http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=951754 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=951754#c10 --- Comment #10 from Hannes Kühnemund --- I did another test (not yet with IceWM though). Selecting "German" as language in Grub (I think it is F2) before installing does not help either. All it does it pre-selecting "German" in the keyboard dropdown box + setting the system language to Germany, but the keyboard itself after fristboot and all subsequent ones is set to "EN". It is still the case that when you start yast2 -> System Keyboard Layout, German is already preselected but the input field reveals that "EN" is set. When selecting any other language and then back to German, the input field is suddenly set to "DE" and when clicking OK/Accept the keyboard is set to German (until the next reboot). So what helps now is to enable the system tray icon to show up even though only one keyboard layout is available (there is an option in KDE for that). And guess what, as soon as the tray icon showed up (it shows "de" obviously), the keyboard is set to "DE". If the system is rebooted (I have automatic logon, so no password asked before starting KDE), KDE loads, the tray icon is there and the keyboard is set to "DE". W.r.t. IceWM, I give it a try over the weekend. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

PS: it would also be interesting to know if the problem exists when you login to IceWM e.g.

In KDM the keyboard is EN, and it IceWM as well (although /etc/sysconfig/keyboard contains YAST_KEYBOARD="german,pc104" and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf contains Option "XkbLayout" "de").

So it's definitely not a KDE problem. Seems to be an Xorg problem then though, not the installation, as the settings seem to be correct. Or do you have the same problem in text mode? (Ctrl+Alt+F1) For the record, I don't have a problem with the "de" keyboard layout here. I would check whether some other .conf file exists in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that might override 00-keyboard.conf. Should not happen on a fresh installation though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hannes, please - switch to a console, - log in as root, - do: X -retro :1 & sleep 3; xterm -display :1 You will get an xerver with an xterm. - navigate to the xterm and check which layout you've got. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

After reboot I logged into the text console: keyboard layout was German. 2. From this text console I executed the command line from comments #14/#15: keyboard layout in xterm was US English. This however was no surprise as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf was still missing. This is created during the Display Manager startup process. 3. From the console I started the display manager: (systemctl start display-manager.service). 4. While the DM was running I switched to a text console again and re-did 2. This time, the keyboard layout was German. Again no surprise: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf had been created. 5. I was not able to determine the keyboard layout in the DM as SDDM doesn't seem to offer any field to type in a user name. The password filed however only displays dots. 6. Installed KDM and switched to use KDM for login: KDM's keyboard layout was German. 7. Logged into the KDE session: keyboard layout was German again. Therefore, everything works as expected. Shutting down the DM and changing the system keyboard layout to US English in yast works as well: Both the console and the 00-keybard.conf change. 2 Notes: 1. Comment #11 claims the keyboard settings in KDM is English - once only gets KDM when updating from an older openSUSE installation. Today the DM for KDE is SDDM. (KDM on Leap 42.1 looks very black, while SDDM has many grey widgets). 2. The keyboard layout in the KDE session follows the default unless one has different layout configured over the settings menu. If unsure one may want to create a new user and see how the keyboard layout will behave there. This will remain no matter what the system layout in 00-keyboard.conf is. For me, the important observation is that the Xserver works correctly: Both the system configured 00-keyboard.conf and the one from comment #2 produce a German layout on a 'bar' Xserver (tested with the command lines from comment #14/15). The DM and the desktop are free to change the layout from there. Therefore this is either a WORKSFORME or an issue in some other component. I will close it as WORKSFORME - Hannes, you may want to perform some tests as hinted in this comment. If you still believe there's an issue, please reopen and assign back to opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
