[CLOSED] Unable to set keyboard layout from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-layout"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "cz,us"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
I wrote the according to the wiki recommendations, but it doesn't work. Issuing setxkbmap -layout "cz,us" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" automatically after logging in serves as a temporary solution, but I'm highly interested in fixing the primary issue. I would greatly appreciate if someone helped my find the error in my config file and/or posted their way to change the xorg keyboard layout in order to compare it with my way and find the error. Also note that I'm using Awesome WM so desktop environment ways of setting the keyboard layout aren't applicable in my case.

@chris_l: Thank you for your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf.
I have found out that the actual problem isn't in the configuration file but in the actual keyboard (more accurately xorg) - the keyboard gets incorrectly identified and xorg seems to think that it's a pointer (mouse). When I connect a different keyboard, the layout gets set correctly, xorg just isn't setting the keyboard layout correctly to the keyboard that I use. I have filed a bug report so this thread can be considered closed.

Option "ctrl:nocaps" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf ignored

Hi all,
I have a single-user laptop, so I'd like to configure my X keyboard layout and options globally instead of doing it for any WM/DE I might happen to use. And most importantly, the desktop manager (GDM) should already use my layout. So my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf contains this section:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection
The result is that I have my German Dvorak layout in GDM and in whatever WM I choose there. However, the ctrl:nocaps option seems to be ignored. In GDM, CapsLock is still CapsLock, not an additional CTRL. Why not?
Here's the Xorg.0.log in case that might shed some light. (Well, it actually only shows that the options seems to be applied to all keyboard devices...)

Yes, exactly. I do get the Dvorak layout that's set in 10-evdev.conf, but not the ctrl:nocaps option that's set there as well.

[SOLVED]xpra + winswitch - best practice due to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

Running xpra causes some headaches.
The application builds fine and installs just perfectly, the troubles comes from the default Xorg configuration is no longer stored in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's now stored and read from numerous files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ where just so happen to be my 5-nvidia.conf.

tl;dr: 5-nvidia.conf is trying to get loaded after xf86-video-dummy is loaded (which is the default for xpra).
Now to the question: What's the best practice because there's no information about this issue, and i can't be the only one who's run in to this since the xorg.conf was removed. At the moment I move all my nvidia configs out of the way, start xpra and move them back in. This works for the better part as long as i execute xpra with my own scripts.
But is there a better way (which doesn't perhaps include recreating xorg.conf since that appears to be something you should walk away from)?

Good thinking! (xpra is basically just screen but for x, or a X11 tunnel via SSH).
After a really quick poking around and remembering that xpra really just uses xorg-server-xvfb and at the very bottom of /etc/xpra/xpra.conf there's a line that says:
xvfb=xpra_Xdummy -dpi 96 -noreset -nolisten tcp +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -logfile ${HOME}/.xpra/Xorg.${DISPLAY}.log -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf
Appending -configdir appears to be working.
Here are the full steps:
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo cp -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d /etc/xpra/
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo rm /etc/xpra/xorg.conf.d/*nvidia*
[torxed@archie ~]$ sudo sed -i '$s/$/ -configdir \/etc\/xpra\/xpra.conf.d/' /etc/xpra/xpra.conf
*nvidia* would have to match your graphic-driver-config that would cause xorg-server-xvbf to crash.
I'll update the wiki and put a mention on the package about it because this either has to be standard or well known from the start because it really just breaks the package all together.

SOLVED update blanks /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

I just ran pacman -Syu and udisks2 was updated with "warning: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf.pacsave". When I looked at the diffs, I noticed that it essentially had removed all contents from that file.
Is there any reason why udisks2 would do this? When I check pacman -Qo /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf, nothing is reported as "owning" that conf file, which is correct, since I created it myself...?

There wasn't. The file 10-synaptics.conf was one created by Arch. With version 1.6.2-3, they switched to the upstream config, which is 50-synaptics.conf.

SOLVED: Created /etc/X11/xorg.conf, now system won't boot.

I was trying to solve an issue with display resolution not sticking and it was suggested to me that I create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I created the file and put in the lines that I had in my .xprofile related to xrandr.
Now... my system will not boot. It appears to get hung up trying to detect my ethernet connection. I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 to avoid X windowing, no dice.
What's more, my system rescue pen drive appears to have died. I still have my Arch install CD.
All I want to do is delete xorg.conf. My arch root is a logical volume so I have no idea how to mount it after I boot from the Arch install CD, or if I can even do this.
Update: So embarrassing, my mount command was wrong. Once I did something that looked like this:
mount /dev/VolGroup0/root /mnt/
I was able to get into /etc/X11 and delete xorg. conf. Rebooted and all appears well.

Can't set keyboard layout in X

Hello!
Some days ago X stopped setting XkbLayout to "no" despite me having specified it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf.
The layout is different when setting it with setxkbmap, e.g. special AltGR characters like ] is gone.
I use .conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and synaptics touchpad apparently works.

Hey!
I got some success with disabling iBus in .xinitrc:
#### iBUS eviroment variables
#export XIM="ibus"
#export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
##export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
#export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
#export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
#ibus-daemon -d -x &
as well as having this config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "no"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
# Option "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt, caps:escape, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
DIsabling iBus solved autoconfig of keyboard to "no", and the new config with the addition of XkbModel solved not being able to use AltGr. I recon there is some bug in iBus and the config for X has changed in some way. Also, writing ^ and ~ and other characters in URxvt works now, as it has not worked for a long time, probably some years. I always thought there had something to do with Awesome.

Wireless logitech keyboard - unable to set keyboard map in X.

Hi,
i have a wireless usb keyboard - logitech k360. When I restart X i always have to manually set keyboard layout using "setxkbmap pl" which is little annoying.
My laptop keyboard has polish layout set correctly. I tried to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf, but cannot find the right options. Here's how it looks now:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbModel" "logii350"
Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
I've tried to remove option XkbModel, tried to set it to pc105 and now it is set to logii350 (I've searched through the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/ to find my exact keyboard model but it isn't there).
Funny thing is, that when I type some polish character at my laptop keyboard, suddenly wireless keyboard gets good layout.
Any thoughts?

Is this one with the Logitech Unifying Device receiver?
There are a few threads on this forum about it defaulting to the default QWERTY layout (hell, I have an AZERTY layout - not just as a locale, the key prints are AZERTY). It seems to be some udev bug.

Setting keyboard layout with Mate Desktop

Hi everyone,
I use now Mate Desktop following the wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MATE>.
Since mate-display-manager doesn't work, I use SliM with auto login.
I'm using french dvorak keyboard (bépo), and I put it in System > Preferences > Keyboard, and removed the other one. But it's not working, it's using default US keyboard.
Does anyone had the same issue ?
Thanks.

The DE doesn't matter if you change the keyboard layout in Xorg.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ro(std)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
Make sure you don't have another keyboard section in some other xorg.conf (/etc/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf) or in a different *.conf file in the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/" folder. Because one may inhibit the other.

Setting up Bumblebee - xorg.conf and /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

I have installed Bumblebee and the Nvidia drivers on my Asus N53SV laptop. I am able to run programs such as glxspheres using Optirun. However, I am not sure what to do next if I want to render my desktop using my discrete video card (GT540M) instead of through ordinary Intel graphics.
Should I copy the file /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia to /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
Thanks for your help,
- mark

I don't see why you would do that. The point of bumblebee is to avoid using the nvidia card unless you start the program with 'optirun'. If you want to render your desktop and use the nvidia card all the time, just don't use bumblebee and directly use the nvidia driver.
If you really really want to use bumblebee, I guess you could set your login manager to use a xinitrc method, and put optirun in front of the command that launch your desktop.

Set permanent monitor refresh rate without xorg.conf

Hi everyone,
Came back to archlinux, made a clean install with gnome 3. Found out that my GDM and Gnome monitor refresh rate is wrong. For GDM I solved it by adding xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 85 to the gdm init script. Maybe it's ugly, but at least working. I've got no xorg.conf and I don't want to create it only because of this problem. Using GUI screen settings in System preferences I managed only to set permanently correct resolution (1024x768) but the refresh rate cannot be changed there, so every time I boot now I have correct resolution and refresh rate for GDM, but after login I have 1024x768@60 only, so I have to manually issue 'xrandr -r 85' every time I login. Can I fix it without creating xorg.conf file under /etc/X11? What I already tried was creating the config file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and set proper resolution and refresh rate there, but it didn't help. If someone has advice or idea, i will be very grateful. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you need to specify the values from the manufacturer's website.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DELL"
ModelName "U2311H"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
I probably don't need to specify "Driver" with open-source drivers, but it's easier to just replace it with "nvidia", since I sometimes switch to the proprietary ones.

Unable to change keyboard layout for all users on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to support national keyboard layout for Danish for all users on that machine. When I ran the powershell with script Set-WinUserLanguageList
-LanguageList da-DK it only sets the Danish keyboard layout to the specific logged in user.However the for other users its same English(US) keyboard which is not expected.
Please help me how to set the Danish keyboard for all users on the machine. Its Urgent!Thanks

Hi Mike,
Thanks for reply.
But I need to configure everything using powershell script. Is it possible to use powershell script to setting group policy/ adding logon script ?
These are pretty basic administration tasks and almost always quicker to accomplish with the GUI. Why do you want to use a PowerShell script?

Custom keyboard layout from standard layout

Hi,
I'm trying to copy the Spanish-ISO keyboard layout in order to create a custom keyboard layout, and change somme attributes like icons, etc.
I've seen that standard keyboard layouts are in:
/System/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle/Contents/Resources/AppleKeyboardLayouts-B.d at
and
/System/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle/Contents/Resources/AppleKeyboardLayouts-B.d at
The difference between them is byte ordering, little or big endian, depending on platform, PowerPC or Intel ( this is my opinion... )
But how can I edit this file to extract an Spanish.keylayout ?? And be able to create a custom keyboard layout ??
Regards,
Joan

Don't mess with those files. Just get Ukelele, it comes with copies of what you need:

Rime Chinese Input Set Keyboard Layout

Hello,
I am trying to install rime chinese input. Unfortunately I have a keyboard with a QWERTZ-Layout, which I am very accustomed to. I am using rime in Gnome Shell. Is there any way to keep the German keyboard layout whilst switching to rime? My chinese is not very good, so I hope this forum appropriate for this question.
Any help is welcome.
Edit:
I solved it for the while by tweaking the rime.xml in /usr/share/ibus/component/
This is my customized file:

Edit2: Unfortunately rime only gets started with the original layout somehow. Thus I reverted to simply tweak the <layout> option in the default engine in the rime.xml file.

i use fcitx-rime, you can change the layout for rime in the input method configuration panel while not change you system layout.

Cannot set locale (ignored from /etc/locale.conf)

I just installed Arch on my new machine and I wrote:
==> /etc/locale.conf
LANG=es_CL.utf-8
# LANG=es_CL.UTF-8 (I've tried with both).
after uncommenting it on /etc/locale.gen and running # locale-gen
(I basically followed every step in the wiki).
No matter what I do when I start any terminal, I found the locale commands output:
$ ~ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
I found that if I open a tty, the /etc/profile.d/locale.sh is ran so, the locales are correct and locale shows the correct output.
The weirdest thing is that my old machine doesn't load locale.sh, and still the locale it's right.
I've search a lot through the wiki and bbs and even when there are couple of articles, none of them help me to solve this issue :(.
I'm running my session through systemd --user (in case it means anything).
EDIT: Add more info.
EDIT2: Fix typo

Could you check whether es_CL.UTF-8 is actually listed as an available locale?
localectl list-locales
And if so, whether it's correctly set
localectl status
$ localectl list-locales
en_US.utf8
es_CL.utf8
$ localectl status

Ô_o
I have removed an empty ~/.zprofile just in case but the issue persist. Running an empty zsh shell (with zsh -f) doesn't work either.

I am unable to set the classpath from unix shell script

) I am new to java, provide me the solution to my problem, as it is urgent
I am unable to execute shell script on unix machine, the code is given below:
Basically it is not setting the classpath

venkat123,
if the code you posted is the original code of your script - it has some misspellings. Please try this one - it works for me both on solaris and linux.
#! /bin/bash
CLASSPATH=/u01/CrystalList/cecore.jar:$CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/u01/CrystalList/cereports.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/u01/CrystalList/dbUpload.jar
