leap 15.5 install - keyboard question
I'm just starting a test installation, and I used X mode by mistake - the machine had a former life and X was enabled by default (.ssh/config). In the YaST GUI (which looks really good, btw), I change locale to UK English, then keyboard to US English. It's just our normal setting, muscle memory. While YaST was doing whatever, I switched to a libreoffice document and realised the keyboard had changed. Presumably to US English. I'll wait and see if it switches back, but is this change to be expected? When we do a "normal" install without X, changing the keyboard layout only takes effect for the system being installed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Hmm, it didn't. That's annoying. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Where do I go to change it back? I'm using KDE, I've tried System-> Settings->Regional Settings. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Is it kbd layout? System Settings->Input Devices->Keyboard->Layout -- /bengan

Yes, sorry - keyboard layout. I did go to the above, but there is only one entry (my regular) and I can't say "apply" ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.7°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Well, it got to be too annoying with my keyboard having been remapped. I logged out and back in - all sorted. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.7°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

In case anyone is interested, apart from a little hiccup with a blacklisted filesystem, it went very well. Hardware is a little bit exotic - Pentium 4 (HT, 3.06GHz), 2Gb RAM. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.7°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

Leap 15.5 on a Pentium 4? How come? That CPU is 32 bits, right? Confused :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Well, clearly not :-) Not everything went equally well though - trying to start the software management in yast and it goes into a 100% loop. Looks like it is trying to open a log socket - "zypp-logsocket-PID". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.7°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes

The 'lm' flag is what matters, I believe.
I would say the instruction set is most important :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
