--- Comment #17 from Egbert Eich
ok, thank you. Before I type something, please explain:
- "Please make sure such a variant is not set."
how do I make that sure? And which variant? And what if it is set?
and then, simply enter (as user or as root?):
setxkbmap "ch"
The variant would be 'de_nodeadkeys', so this settings doesn't have a variant.
?
Sorry for questions that might look stupid. I just selected the only available Swiss-German in Yast...
Generally, it is expected that people set their X11 keyboard map using the keyboard layout tool of the desktop. Looking at mine here (xfce) shows multiple variants for the swiss keyboard. YaST seems to be used mostly today to set the console keyboard. People do not pay much attention to this as they are hardly ever interacting with it. On the other hand, using the tool to set the console (and default X11 mapping), localectl, it lists multiple swiss keyboard variants as well - with and without dead keys. Since YaST only offers one setting, this should be the one with dead keys (ie the default). When I do 'localectl set-keymap ch' on the console, I do indeed get a console keyboard with deadkeys. The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf contains this: Section "InputClass" Identifier "system-keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "ch" Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection This describes a default keyboard layout with dead keys. Can you check if this is the same for you? If so, can you check, if there is any other file that contains 'XkbLayout' in the same directory? You can do this doing: # cd /etc/X11/; grep -ri xkblayout Please provide the output here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
