Keyboard settings related installer bug

[alekow]

Hello!

I've installed salix for the first time today, just to find out that i can't login. A similar problem was described before

Code: Select all

http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=757&p=4923#p4923

but no solution was provided.

So I looked into:

Code: Select all

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keymap.conf

and noticed, that XkbLayout had wrong value - "pl2". It looks like the installer simply passes to the keyboard layout chosen for terminal to 10-keymap.conf (pl2 is the variant I use). It should pass "pl" instead when pl2 layout is selected.

Regards,

alekow

OK, so there is no "pl2" xorg keyboard layout? Fixed in salixtools-1.5.2. If you upgrade and run the keyboard configuration tool it will set it right this time.

No - if you look at

Code: Select all

/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty

you'll find plenty of Polish keymaps. But take a look at

Code: Select all

/etc/X11/xkb/symbols

- there's only one "pl" file (set by XkbLayout option) with couple of variants (set by XkbVariant) in it.
The kbd and xkb layouts are a bit different, e.g. there is ĸ (kappa) under AltGr+k in x, but not in console. There is no equivalent for "pl" and "pl2" variant for xkb.
