YAST_KEYBOARD="spanish,pc104" Yay! I'm not crazy!! :) I think you may need: YAST_KEYBOARD="us,pc104" That's what I already have, and what I've had since this problem began... maybe I had it there before the problem occurred also, I don't know. Here's what I noted in my original post here:
Looking around in logs and configs, I found the keyboard specified in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to be "pc104". I can't say for certain whether that is correct or incorrect, except that "pc104" was mentioned in the log file "/var/log/YaST2/y2log" several times on or about the date/time I ran the hardware scan. So it is highly suspect. Here's that final line from the "keyboard" file:
YAST_KEYBOARD="english-us,pc104" Yes, but that combo is a little different: "english-us" vs "us". You could also try pc105, I think it exists.
Okay, yes, I see what you mean. But I don't know that there exists a keyboard value simply "us". Indeed if we look in /usr/share/YaST2/data/languages/ we find what appears to be all the possible languages which yast can associate with a keyboard. Note there is none simply "us". Moreover, this below would explain the difference in your and my YAST_KEYBOARD values: # diff language_en_US.ycp language_es_ES.ycp ... < "keyboard" : "english-us", ---
"keyboard" : "spanish", ....
Is there a way to set a new YAST_KEYBOARD value and then invoke it, staying in my current gnome session?
... I would try changing the setting in text mode, and testing it there. If it works there, but not on X after starting them, the issue is different. Prior to systemd I'd do "init 3" to get into text mode. Is it the same now? (Remember, I don't have either Alt key anymore.) Certainly, init 3 works.
Also "chvt 1" in a terminal as root, which does the same as ctrl-alt-F1
Very cool. Then how do I come back after "chvt 1"...? "chvt 5"? (I seem to recall (for people with a working "Alt" key) it was "Alt-F9".) And is my previous gnome session still running the entire time...? so I can come back into it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
