Keyboard layout and Sun Ray

Hi all,
We're using the Sun Rays in a VDI environment, but there is a mixture in keyboard layouts: qwerty and azerty.
The session detects the correct keyboard layout, but it doesn't pass it to uttsc.
Is there any way to detect the keyboard layout and pass it manually?
Regards,
Wouter

Hi,

USB Video Class Driver on Solaris 10 and Sun Ray

Hello,
Is it posible to use the USB Video Class Driver (usbvc) on Solaris 10 and Sun Ray?
How can I do that?
Thank you very much.

It's not possible. The Video Class requires isochronous operation on USB and Sun Ray does not support isochronous mode.
Even if Sun Ray did support isochronous mode, the libusb library (which is what third-party applications use to interact with USB devices attached to Sun Ray) does not support isochronous transfers. The hard part is the Sun Ray itself. When that gets resolved it probably won't be very hard to add isoc support into libusb.

Anyone know when SRSS5 (4.2?) is coming out? Funny I came across SRSS5 today, as just this morning we began research in what it would take to move to LTSP. We have entire departments running off SRSS4.1 on RHEL5. This has been a pretty good solution but Sun insists on keeping SRSS for Linux a poor product when compared to it on Solaris. Things like sound, USB thumb drives, etc are implemented TERRIBLY on their linux software (if at all).
I'd be willing to give SRSS5 a shot if it became available soon. Even a time frame (like end of 2009, spring 2010, etc) would help.

US Keyboard Mapping on Sun Ray

I am using a Zenity Dialog for password entry, this then gets passed to the uttsc session.
Initially I checked the xorg.conf file on the host Solaris server and changed the keyboard to gb... This worked on the Server (logged off and logged back on and @ worked.
However, my Zenity dialog still has a US keyboard and my UK based customer has complex passwords utilising £"@$ all of which are in different places on US and UK keyboards.
Thanks,
Craig

There are two things that might cause this. The first is that the keyboard might not be telling the Sun Ray that it is a UK keyboard. The second is that 'zenity' (or its underlying Gnome libraries) is not reacting correctly to the notification that the keyboard layout has changed from the initial default US layout to a UK layout. It's possible that both of these things are happening.
If you adjust your kiosk script to wait until at least one keystroke has been collected before you launch 'zenity' to collect the user's password (perhaps by adding an earlier invocation of 'zenity', but anything that waits for a keystroke will do) and the keyboard still behaves as a US layout then there's a good chance that the keyboard isn't reporting its layout correctly. Low-end keyboards typically don't report their layout at all. They report a layout code of zero and expect the system to guess the appropriate layout. If this is what's happening then you can either reconfigure the server to treat a layout code of zero as a UK layout (see [http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/using_sun_rays_with_non] and be sure to check the final comment because at least one of the paths in the article is incorrect) or you can tell the DTU to report a UK layout when it gets a zero from the keyboard. To do that, see the 'kbcountry' keyword in the utfwadm man page ([online here|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SRSS4dot2/Solaris+Sun+Ray+System+Administration+Commands%2B-+man(1m)#SolarisSunRaySystemAdministrationCommands-man(1m)-manutfwadm1m]), or configure it in the DTU's local GUI if it's running GUI-enabled firmware.
If 'zenity' gets the right layout when launched after a keystroke has been collected but not when it runs before a keystroke has been collected then the keyboard is reporting the correct layout and the problem is probably that Gnome is not reacting correctly to a layout-change notification issued by the X server. Editing the keytable to associate a UK layout with keytable 0 might be a workaround for this, because that will cause the X server to present a UK layout from the very beginning, instead of starting with a US layout and then switching to a UK layout when it sees the first keystroke. (Until it sees a keystroke the X server assumes that it will be using the layout associated with code zero, which in the keytables as shipped is a US layout. Then when it gets a keystroke report from the DTU it switches to the actual layout code associated with that keystroke. It does this every time it sees a new layout code.)

[Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
Did I miss some config file?
For the sake of clarity:
1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
4)
$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Thanks for any help.

I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

Custom keyboard layout and Gnome3

After moving back to my native Sweden I find that the local keyboard is a pain to use for programming (mainly it's the locations of '{[]}' that are painful). I'm stuck with Swedish keyboards at work, it's mostly laptops so using an external keyboard is not an ideal solution. Currently my solution is to run the following script
#! /bin/bash
# load XKB, if there is one
XKBDIR=${HOME}/.xkb
XKBMAPFILE=${XKBDIR}/keymap/$(hostname)
if [[ -f ${XKBMAPFILE} ]]; then
xkbcomp -I${XKBDIR} ${XKBMAPFILE} ${DISPLAY} &> /dev/null
fi
and then put the desired layout changes under ~/.xkb/. I've then created a .desktop and put it in ~/.config/autostart to run the script on login. The only problem with this is that the changed layout doesn't survive putting the laptop to sleep or hibernating it.
I'd love to get suggestions for better solutions, solutions that survive sleep/hibernate.

But how can I edit this file to extract an Spanish.keylayout ?? And be able to create a custom keyboard layout ??
Don't mess with those files. Just get Ukelele, it comes with copies of what you need:

Two problems with setting up arch. Keyboard layout and wifi card.

Hi guys.
I have installed arch on my old laptop (LG le express) and I have two problems.
1. I wasn't able to create a Hebrew keyboard layout.
2. I don't know how to install my wifi card. (Ralink 2500).
as for one, I changed my xorg.conf to this:
section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "Xkbmodel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "KkbOption" "grep:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggel,grp_led:caps"
EndSection
but it didn't work.
As for 2, I have found this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … eta_driver
But I can't find how to install rt2x00
Thanks

If you edit the first post you can change the title, prepend it with [solved] (once all issues are actually solved). Also if you can post your working solution then it will be useful for others having similar difficulties. Please read the following links.
Mark threads as [solved]
Forum etiquette
As for your wireless issue, which tool are you using? A quick google around seems to suggest that netcfg in combination with wpa supplicant can connect to LEAP encrypted networks, eg this thread. Are you also aware that there are graphical tools to do this for you that you may find easier, such as wicd?

Hit PrtSc on new keyboard layout and lost clipboard data?

The new keyboard layout place the PrtSc button at the bottom row of the keyboard between left Alt anc Ctrl.
I think some of you might have already tried that, when you try to press the right Ctrl or Alt (for example try to press Ctrl+V... etc) or even just accidentally hit the PrtSc key, and then the text that you copied will be cleared in the clipboard so you need to go back and copy again.
Even worse: You can't recover if you cut and closed the application, then hit PrtSc and let the clipboard to be overwritten!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are two ways to deal with the problem: (1) bypass Windows print sceren functionality or (2) install a clipboard manager.
To bypass Windows print sceren functionality you can install a program. An opensource example is Lightscreen. You can configure it to directly save the print screen into your document directory instead of overwriting the clipboard. There is an extra benefit, that you don't need to do print screen, then open Paint, then paste, then save the image just to upload or save it.
An opensource example of clipboard manager is Ditto. It tracks changes in the clipboard and save a history of everything. In case if the PrtSc key overwritten the clipboard, most of the time you will be able to recover.

Digital Cinema Desktop Preview, keyboard layout and other bugs - Leopard

I just reinstalled my Mac Pro because I hoped it would fix some bugs... but no luck. Digital cinema desktop preview (dcdp) was working just fine until I installed the Aja Kona Lhe software, afterwards only dcdp for the main display was working, both dcdp and dcdp "full screen" have disappeared. The other things I was hoping 10.5.2 would fix are the problem FCP cannot remember the keyboard layout I use (azerty-belgium) - every time I start the program I have to choose the layout again - and the fact I cannot export using compressor straight from FCP using qmaster: Final cut pro generated an error! (this has never worked)
If you are having the same problems as I do, maybe we should compare hardware to see what we have in common that could be causing this problem. As I have found during my searches, some computers have similar problems, others don't, sometimes it also matters if you've upgraded from Tiger of did a clean install, where upgrading it seems (yes really!!) gives the least problems...
I really hope there will be a bugfix soon, because I'm sure I'm not the only one having these problems... or maybe I should just install Tiger and upgrade...???

I vote for going back to Tiger. That is known to be stable. Leopard and FCP is unpredictable at the moment.

Dv7 / Dv6 keyboard layout and accessories

Hello, I have a new dv7-6c95dx and I am having the hardest time finding accessories for it. I was wondering if you could tell me if the Dv7 and the Dv6 have the same keyboard layout. I can't seem to find a keyboard cover for my Dv7 however, I have found several for the Dv6. I just wanted to know if the keyboards were the same before i made the purchase. Also, if you advise against purchasing the Dv6 cover for my Dv7, could you possibly tell me where I could go to find a cover suitable for my Dv7? Thanks

dv6 keyboard part nos:
530580-001 518965-001
dv7 part nos
519004-001 519265-001
Not the same. Does yours have an enbedded numeric keypad to the right of the main keyboard? All dv7s have the numeric keypad but the pictures I am seeing of the dv6 are mixed. The pictures I am seeing of dv6 keyboards with numeric keypad show the same key layout as the dv7 keyboard so I would say that if the dv6 keyboard cover has a numeric keypad area you are likely OK, but these things have to be an identical fit. I am not seeing a cover for your model on ebay. You might contactt his seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HP-Pavilion-DV7-DV7-1000-DV7-2000-Clear-Laptop-Keyboard-Skin-Cover-/1108...
To see if they know where you can get one.

X11 keyboard layout and weird device recognition

Hi,
After recent upgrade (mostly gnome-3.6-related) on my laptop I decided to drop gnome-settings-daemon and use lightweight xsettingsd for my i3wm desktop environment. However, with gnome-settings-daemon gone my X keyboard layout configuration was gone as well. I tried to configure it using the following lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
This configuration works very well on my desktop computer, however, when I changed 10-evdev.conf on the laptop and restarted X11 (through restarting GDM or even rebooting), it didn't work. The layout was not switching on Capslock as it should have been. I even tried to use gnome-settings-daemon again, but it seems that they have changed something in it in 3.6 version, and my old configuration is not working anymore - launching gsd does not enable layout swithing. I couldn't manage to configure gsd again with gnome control center too - it now has completely different interface in keyboard settings.
However, issuing setxkbmap command with right options works, and layout switches correctly after it.
So, first part of my question: is there a way to drop setxkbmap command and use X11 config only?
My first action in debugging this was to look into Xorg.0.log, which brings me to the second part of my question. I found rather suspicious things there:
[ 27.070] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Power Button" (type: KEYBOARD, id 6)
[ 27.070] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 27.070] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[ 27.070] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru"
[ 27.070] (**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"
[ 27.070] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
[ 27.130] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Video Bus" (type: KEYBOARD, id 7)
[ 27.130] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 27.130] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[ 27.130] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru"
[ 27.130] (**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"
[ 27.130] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
[ 27.134] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Sleep Button" (type: KEYBOARD, id 9)
[ 27.134] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 27.134] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[ 27.134] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru"
[ 27.134] (**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"
[ 27.134] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
[ 27.136] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "WebCam SC-13HD11338N" (type: KEYBOARD, id 10)
[ 27.136] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 27.136] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[ 27.136] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru"
[ 27.136] (**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"
[ 27.136] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
[ 27.138] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD, id 11)
[ 27.138] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 27.138] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[ 27.138] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru"
[ 27.138] (**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"
[ 27.138] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
So, it looks like that keyboard options really were applied to the keyboard (last entry) - strange that in fact this is not right, and these options do not work without setxkbmap.
However, there are very strange entries too - somehow my webcam, power button, sleep button and video bus (!) were recognized as keyboard! Is this normal behavior? This does not seem to have any consequences, but still this does not feel right.
Regards,
Vladimir.

Apparently my request was less reasonable than I realized... How about this:
In an xterm, enter setxkbmap us (this assumes us is your default keymap, so you can use the command history to reset it). Next, run setxkbmap colemak. If it doesn't return an error (I get Error loading new keyboard description) type something, then press Caps Lock. I just need to know if you get a backspace effect. That's it, now run setxkbmap us from your history. Thanks.

How to add keyboard layout and define shortcut to switch layouts

Hello there people of Arch!
How can i add greek layout to my laptop and how can i set "alt+shift" as the shortcut to switch between layouts?
I tried to search but i couldn't find something useful!

I'm using gnome.Is there a way to do it using the graphical environment?I don't have time this days to learn writing scripts cause i really need the greek layout for my studies and there's little time.
Thank you again for your reply!
Aah !!
Why didn't you say you wanted everything handed out to you on a platter !!!
Aaaah why didn't you say you are full of complexes?Thank you for your guide!That really helped me!I just asked if there's is guide in the forum 'cause i searched and couldn't find any info.And no what you gave me is not a guide.Could you just answer this without pretending the smart?Or this is just to difficult?Well anyway no hard feelings I don't care.
Am not going to reply to anything else you say cause you are ironic!I'll just wait if there is a more polite answer!
Peace to your complexes.

Is there button (custom button?) for Firefox, which show my current keyboard layout, and if i push the button it change layout?

Window 7 Home Edition, Firefox 4

Instead GarageBand recognize my keyboard and i can play normally, also, if it can help, those are the Audio and Midi Logic Preferences and the Controller Surfaces Setup with the keyboard connected :

I want to purchase a Macbook Pro overseas for the keyboard layout and set the OS to English, but if I do so, would the keyboard layout also switch to English? Can I set the foreign layout as default?

I would assume that changing the default keyboard so that I can use the proper corresponding one is possible, but I would just like to make sure before I buy one.
Thanks in advance.
