After upgrade, gnome keyboard layout wrong!

I've checked and my UK keyboard works properly on the virtual terminals, but within gnome, I appear to have a US keyboard layout. I've changed to UK keyboard in the gnome keyboard preferences and removed US keyboard (didnt have to do this before, I dont think) but I still have things like " and @ mixed up and no pound sign.
Where do I look?

Have you tried editing the keyboard language in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Cannot use byobu shotcut in gnome-terminal after upgrading GNOME 3.12

I cannot use byobu to create a vertical pane in gnome-terminal after upgrading to gnome 3.12.
The shortcut of creating vertical pane is Shift+F2. When I press these keys, there is `6~' showing
in the terminal.
I have tried this key binding in urxvt terminal. It still doesn't work. However, when I tried in Xfce-terminal,
byobu worked well.
Any ideas? Many thanks.

Okay I think I found a workaround, Byobu depends on tmux and the same issue is happening with tmux with Shift and all the function keys.
So to get things working, just set the env variable $TERM to "screen-256color"
$ export TERM=screen-256color
and then run byobu again. I'm not sure if this will break other things, I'll report back if I find anything.
Thank you so much for this workaround! I already discussed the topic here without any success: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184603.

After upgrade USB Keyboard not working to unlock cryptdev-ed HDD

Hi,
Is there any sane reason, why my USB keyboard does not work after upgrading right now to enter the keyphrase to unlock my hdd? (x86_64, kernel 2.6.28-1.1, luks encrypted hdd that contains an lvm2 volume) The keyboard works fine in grub, short time before I have to enter the password, it goes black (numblock LED turns off). Luckily I have an USB-to-PS/2 converter, so I just plugged it in there, the system recognizes this and I'm able to enter the password. Afterwards, pluggin the keyboard back into its USB port, it works again.
Has anyone encountered the same strange behaviour? Or has anyone a solution for this problem?
best regards

Even worse, my LUKS key is stored on a USB-Stick. After upgrading, my USB-Stick was not recognized and so the LUKS key could not be read. Luckily (very luckily) I had defined a plain text keyphrase for LUKS slot 2 and so I was able to enter this via the PS2 keyboard. Anyone who has not provided this "backdoor" for themselves faces a difficult task.
A bug report exists concerning this problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12867

Evolution-3.8.1-1 not starting after upgrading gnome from 3.6.2 to 3.8

Hello community,
after updating Gnome to 3.8.1 yesterday, Evolution is not starting. In Terminal i get this output:
(evolution:969): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `!(flags & G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME) || is_canonical (name)' failed
Naruszenie ochrony pamięci (core dumped)
any ideas, if it has to do with gnome 3.8?

I've got this bug too.
Probably it's related to Polish (or foreign) language.
If I run
LC_ALL=C evolution
from Terminal everything works fine (but the program is in English of course).

After upgrade my keyboard is not recognized by Bluetooth

I just saw an upgrade notice come up on my computer so I hit install etc. Now my iMac 15" is updated to OS X 10.9.3 but the keyboard is no longer recognized by Bluetooth. The green light on keyboard keeps blinking green but it never connects. Any suggestions to help me? Glad I have another Mac to type on in the meantime.

If that doesn't work try pushing the Bluetooth sing in the top bar of your computer screen
There should be a list of all Bluetooth devices
Click on the name of your keyboard and then on connect

Keyboard layout problems in Gnome

I'm not sure if it was a recent upgrade that did it or not, but in gnome my keyboard layout is only half right. I checked the keyboard manager in the gnome menu and it was set to Generic 105 key (INTEL).
In xorg.conf the keyboard is listed as pc105. In KDE the keyboard works normally.

You also have to setup a valid layout for this kind of keyboard. That is done in the same dialog field. Then, what do you mean with "tried"? First off, if Gnome and X disagree about keyboard layout, Gnome complains loudly. Thus KDE is unilaterally setting the layout to something it likes. Check your Kconfig to find out what it is. Then find the section named InputDevice in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that looks something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
EndSection
Change it to resemble this example, if it doesn't. Check if your ServerLayout actually uses this InputDevice. Finally, is there anything else we should know about your keyboard? Do you run XGL/AIGLX?

Problems with keyboard layout after 10.7.1

Hi,
After install the 10.7.1, the computer do not recognize the keyboard layout in startup process (when ask for the password in order to open the encrypted volume), and I have to use the US Keyboard Layout to introduce the password.
The main problem is my keboard is in a Spanish ISO layout, so, I have to remember where the symbols are defined...
How can I change the keybard layout for the boot process???
Thanks in advance.
H.
P.S: After login, the keyboard layout is well defined...

Hi @ all,
same problem here. On my MacBook Air the keyboard layout at the login-screen (FileVault 2) changed to US after the Update to 10.7.1. After I tried to change this back to the German one, my MacBook does net accept any way to enter my password any more.
It seems that I have to reset my password with the key stored by Apple.
Do you know how to set the keyboard layout for FileVault 2, so that this doesn't happen again?
Thank you!
Greez,
Stefan

E70 Keyboard layout problems

I have a brand-new E70 bought from Expansys a week ago. I have the same problem reported by other here regarding incorrect keyboard layout (e.g. "(" key produces ")" and "/" produces ","). I have not upgraded the firmware, this is the way the phone was shipped.
I haven't found any solution in this forum or on the web yet. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks,

Windows Welcome Screen Keyboard Layout

Hello, I'm a Dvorak typist and I have changed my Windows settings to use that layout, but I cannot find (or there doesn't exist) an option to change the initial Welcome screen keyboard layout. When locking my session or returning from screen saver
mode, the layout is correct, but if I've logged out or restarted, the welcome screen reverts to Qwerty. Is there an option to change this?

Hi,
I made a test in our testing environment, Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 X64 English edition. After add the keyboard layout, such as Dvorak, we do need to restart the computer to let the setting come into effective.
Therefore, please restart your computer for test.

Wrong X keyboard layout after upgrade

Hi,
I have an Eeepc 701SD with LXDE/GDM running on it.
Today I ran a pacman -Syu after about 2 weeks. For some reason, now my keyboard layout on X seems to be using the US keyboard layout, while it should be abnt2 (I'm from Brazil)
I still have the hal policy "10-keymap.fdi" there, setting the "input.xkb.layout" to "br" as it was before, and hal service is running.
Strange that I didn't see any xorg or hal packages being updated, mostly gtk, gnome and gdm related packages.
Does anyone have any idea on what can be causing this?
Thanks.

teletrabi wrote:for gdm >=2.28 you can adjust the keyboard layout in a dialog at the bottom of the login-screen.
(this dialog appears, when the password field is active) ...this works for me
Thanks a lot for the tip. This solved my problem. Also I checked the keyboard layout settings at system -> preference -> keyboard and it shows the right layout settings after restarting (not like in the past after gnome 2.28 update).
Yours,
Engin

[SOLVED] Keyboard layout not setting correctly after gnome 3.14 update

Hey all,
After the gnome 3.14 update my keyboard appears to be reverting to US when I want to have it set to UK layout. It was fine before the update, and I have i3 & XFCE installed and for both of those my keyboard layout is getting set to UK just fine, so it appears to be just the gnome 3.14 update that is the problem.
Here is my contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

My situation showed an extra issue related to this change.
After the upgrade I started getting two layouts (us,us) instead of just one (us).
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us,us
variant: ,
options: ctrl:nocaps
That broke my variant setting, which was altgr-intl (set via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf). I was able to manually set that to "altgr-intl,altgr-intl" (with setxkbmap), and that worked.
After adding an input source as described above, of "English (international AltGr dead keys)", everything started working again for my purposes, without manually running setxkbmap, but I still have the extra layout:
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc104
layout: us,us
variant: altgr-intl,
options: ctrl:nocaps
Does anyone know a current method for completely disabling GNOME's keyboard management?
(I've tried several things from Google, but nothing seems to work for the current version).

Wrong keyboard layout after Mavericks update

Hi,
after update to OSX Mavericks the wrong Keyboard Layout is selected on Logon Screen after reboot and/or logoff.
If i change it from "US" to "German" it will show the "US" again after next logoff/reboot.
Befor the update to Mavericks, the language was only german and this was fine for me.
Maybe someone have a solution, because i don´t want the US Keyboard Layout at the Logon Screen...
regards
Mathias

Hi,
two things I can think off:
1. Check if you have set your keyboard in xorg.conf as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … S_keyboard
2. Open dconf-editor, surf there to org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard
I have Layout set to ['de\tnodeadkeys'] there.

Keyboard layout keeps switching after 10.9.4 upgrade

After the recommended upgrade to Maverick 10.9.4, all of us in my group have the problem that the keyboard layout keeps switching every time a new Word document is opened (and possibly on a number of other occasions).
We have MacBookPros 2011, 2012, 2013, all regretting having upgraded to OsX 10.9.4. As per instructions, mine's a Retina late 2013 and got a 2.8 GhZ i7 with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SSD - no performance issues!
There have been two discussion threads as far as I can see; none with a solution.
"Fixing" the keyboard to a single one is not an option for polyglot people like us who actually need several keyboard layouts.
I have fed back to Apple as recommended weeks ago, but to no avail so far.
This persistent problem is driving all of us mad. Does no one on this list have any answers? Surely there's some setting somewhere that turned a perfectly well working system (10.9.3) into one that's costing us tens of minutes every single day (10.9.4)?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander

There is a box that no one had mentioned...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Input Source---> Uncheck the "Automatically switch to a document's input source. The input source is used until the document is closed."
kafetzou... You may want to delete the Turkish keyboard so that the English is on top of the list. Then re-add the Turkish keyboard, this will make it under the English. Though I don't know if this will help your problem, or the box that I mentioned above.
