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?

  • 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,

  • No keyboard layout indicator in Gnome 3.6

    After upgrading to Gnome 3.6 I see no keyboard layout indicator in the top gnome-panel. As I have 3 layout, this is very inconvenient. Any ideas?

    this also happen for a brand new user. So my setup is not the culprit
    BUT this works if I login from the console with startx so not with gdm.
    So gdm is the problem here. Any idea ??

  • Danish Keyboard Layout working in Gnome but not in Kde

    Hi!,
    I'm trying to get to work the Danish Keyboard layout in Kde, with no success. In Gnome it works fine, but in Kde (or well, any Qt based app), when I hit å, ø, or try to write accents, I get two white quads instead of the correct character.  It works if I write them in a gtk aplication, copy and paste in a kde app.. but...
    Does anyone knows what can be possibly happening?
    My xorg.conf has
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
    and Kde is configured to use the DK Layout.
    thanks!
    silencer
    ps. I wrote this in gnome

    Ouh, no.. I have another problem
    I want the language (for apps like gcc, or mc) to be english, not danish, so I replaced in rc.conf da_DK.utf8 by en_DK.utf8, and got the language as english, but now.. accents doesn't work anymore. They do work, again, under gnome, but not in kde.  Any ideas?
    thanks a lot

  • Keyboard layout indicator in gnome panel, red icon instead of letters

    See the image, red round icon is the keyboard notification, but it shoud be ( or was ) letters.
    Any idea how to change the icon back to letters? I have 2 layouts, changing gtk theme or icon theme doesn't help.
    Thanks.

    edit: for the capslock-issue, go to the region panel in gnome-control-center, switch to the layout-tab and click options. There should be a list with the appropriate preferences. It defaults to shift+capslock by the way, which works fine here.

  • Dwm and non-english keyboard layouts problem

    Hi all,
    I am using dwm 5.5. I'm Greek so I change between keyboard layouts all the time,
    see the relevant xorg.conf section:
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr"
    Option "XkbVariant" ","
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
    EndSection
    Now the thing is that whenever I switch to Greek (by pressing Alt+Shift) the
    dwm tags (1,2,...,9) are not clickable (keyboard shortcuts do work
    though, so it's not a very big problem).
    Do you have any ideas about how to fix that behavior? I'd go to the dwm irc
    channel and ask them, but I'll be a "newbie asking stupid questions" so I
    preferred to ask here
    Thanks in advance

  • [E17] lock and keyboard layout problems when suspend

    Hello,
    I just installed E17 on my Dell Vostro laptop. The main problem I have is related to the suspend mode.
    In settings > screen > screen lock, I enabled the option "lock on suspend" and the keyboard layout is selected to "be (default, basic)" (I have a belgian keyboard).
    When I use the menu system > suspend, the screen is locked. But when I suspend my laptop by closing the lid (I see the power light indicator blinking on the side, so it's suspended) the screen is not locked when I open it.
    Also related to the suspend mode. The layout is set to belgian (in the screen config as explained above but also in vconsole.conf and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf). When I put the luks decryption key or when E17 starts at boot, I have the right layout. However when I resume the laptop after being suspended, the layout is switched to qwerty (en_us I guess).
    Any idea why ?
    Thank you
    PS: this problem is maybe more related to E17 than to Archlinux but I haven't found any forum about enlightenment. If you think I have better chances somewhere else, let me know.

    I was having problems with E17 after a fresh install (mixer problem, key bindings, etc), and I fixed it by deleting the configuration files at
    ~/.e
    as the wiki says.

  • Keyboard layout problem at the login screen

    Hi there!
    I'm having a huge problem at the login screen just after installing OS X Lion 10.7. It seems like the keyboard layout has changed, and I need to enter some numbers in my password. I can't find the digit 9, and I really don't know if the other numbers are in the right place either. Maybe it's changed to a us layout.. What to do?

    stoneheart,
    the numbers are in the same position on a US English keyboard as they are on a Norwegian keyboard.
    If you select the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, and select its Login Options, do you have the “Show Input menu in login window” checkbox checked? (That’s where the checkbox’s location is in Mavericks; I don’t have Lion, so I don’t know if it’s in the same location there.)

  • Keyboard layout problem

    My wife has an old iBook running Mac OS X Tiger and it's been working just fine. Never any trouble at all with this sturdy old thing but today, for some odd reason, the keyboard layout got messed up out of nowhere. We're Swedish and need the Swedish layout ( åäö ) but it suddenly stopped working. The layout has changed and the @-character is now accessible while pressing Shift+2 instead of Alt+2. I have no idea why this happened and I have no clue as to how to change/restore the default layout. I've looked around in the International preference pane but nothing I did there changed a thing. Anyone else bumped into this particular problem?

    Forget this question, I found out what was wrong. My father-in-law ( who isn't too good at computers ) changed the layout by mistake by clicking the little flag and so switched the layout from Swedish Pro to US English. Problem solved.

  • Non-US keyboard layout problem with VNC

    Hi everyone,
    I've got an arch box at work running tigervnc through an ssh tunnel so that I can work from home when I need to.
    Everything is great, as long as I'm using and ASCII keyboard layout.
    When I switch layouts, the keystrokes just don't get through to the server.
    Here's  what I use to switch layouts:
    setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'
    So I need to type in russian, and I hit alt-shift, as usual, and start typing, but nothing is echoed back to me.  I can tell that the keystrokes are just not getting to the destination because if I'm at a terminal and I'm switched to the ru layout and I type something and hit enter, I just get a newline, as if there was nothing typed at all.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Why are the characters mixed up in the session?
    This issue can occur if the keyboard language has been switched on the remote PC while running a remote desktop session. In the case you would like to switch to a different keyboard
    language follow these instructions.
    Important:
    The remote PC selects the system language of the device running the remote desktop client and not the keyboard language. When switching the keyboard language on your device,
    you need to manually switch the keyboard language on the remote PC.
    1. Open settings on your device.
    2. Tap General and then tap International.
    3. Tap Language and select the language running on the remote PC.
    4. Open the RD Client and connect to the remote PC and check if the Windows keyboard language matches the language that you selected.

  • Flash 8 Pro: Publish Preview & Keyboard Layout Problems

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help. I am a NEW Flash 8 Pro user and have
    discovered two problems I cant seem to resolve:
    1. When I press F12 (or select Publish Preview | Default
    (HTML) in the menu), although my project publishes correctly,
    producing all the correct files (including a working HTML file), my
    browser does not open and display the swf. I tried changing my
    default browser and on several projects, but the problem persists
    2. For some reason, my keyboard is set to the US layout
    instead of the British layout...this is the only application that
    is doing this and it doesnt appear to be an option that I can
    change inside Flash.
    Can anyone help me with these issues? It would be grately
    appreciated.
    PS: I am on a high-spec Windows XP SP2 PC (if that is of any
    assistance)

    Did you ever get your issue with the F12, publish preview,
    not loading your browser? I have just upgraded from MX 2004 to 8
    and now have this issue.

  • Keyboard Layout Problems with OS X Mavericks on MacBook

    My brother and I have a Early 2009 MacBook that received succesive updates on OS X over the past four years: it went from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion to Mountain Lion. But this year, we decided to upgrade it from a clean install of Mavericks.
    It went fine, but... the keyboard is acting in a terrible way. The layout is bugged! The left shift key enters the "Y" letter, while return enters the "/" key... I've just tried everything to fix this resetting NVRAM and SMC, but nothing has worked.
    Somebody else is having this problem? Could a software update fix it?

    See if a Safe Mode boot helps...
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

  • Keyboard Layout Problem in Bootcamp Using Windows 7

    Both OSX, bootcamp and Windows 7 are the latest versions and all up to date and I have had this problem ever since I first started using Windows 7. Everything has worked smoothly and without problems except for my keyboard. No matter what program I am in when using windows 7 certian keys do not work as intended. All of the letters and numbers work as intended but things like the question mark key type this like É instead.
    Question mark =É
    Greater than symbol= '
    Less than symbol = "
    The bracket keys = ¨Çç
    backslash = à
    forward slash = É
    Quotation mark = È
    My question would be is this something that always happens in bootcamp Windows 7 that just needs to be changed or is it out of the ordinary for the characters to be bound to keys incorrrectly like this.

    You prob do not have the drivers installed. Takes a separate disc sometimes. There is a box to check during the partitioning and installation which has to do with downloading the latest drivers. You gotta do that to make much of anything work. If nothing else, go to an Apple reseller in your area or Apple Store if you are so lucky, and get some help. Is not the easiest thing to get all that set up correctly, but it does work well if you got the drivers installed. I have an aviation site which is not yet Mac compatible, so also do the Bootcamp thing with Windows, in order to do my thing on Jeppesen. Hang in there and get some help if you need.

  • [solved] Gnome default keyboard layout

    Hi guys,
    Can anybody please explain me why the following command works but the corresponding .conf entry does not?
    setxkbmap -layout "us,pl,de" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
    [orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XKBMODEL" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,pl"
    Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl,"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
    EndSection
    When using the .conf entry simply nothing happens.
    Regards
    EDIT
    I was able to identify my problem. See the following:
    The above .conf does not work since Gnome seems to fetch a default US keyboard layout from somewhere which I cannot figure out where it is. Without any invocation from my side Gnome assumes this US keyboard. However, I do not want to us the default US keyboard layout but the altgr-intl option.
    Screenshot
    So as a workaround I have to run setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl after Gnome had started. But I would like to understand how Gnome assigns the default keyboard layouts.
    Last edited by orschiro (2013-06-26 07:57:29)

    I still do not understand where the default keyboard layout is taken from. However, I use a workaround and created a file .keyboard in my home directory which is launched after startup of Gnome and changes the layouts according to my setkxbmap settings.
    More information.
    Regards
