Setting the keyboard map with hotplugging

Just changed to awesome WM and my keyboard is slightly wrong. For a start I can't seem to produce the hash symbol at all.
The wiki suggests that input hotplugging should be favoured for keyboard configuration. I have my keymap set as uk in rc.conf and here's what /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf says about keyboards:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
And the output of setxkbmap:
$ setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Applied rules from evdev:
rules: evdev
model: evdev
layout: us
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us+inet(evdev)
geometry: pc(pc104)
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
This seems to suggest my keybaord is being loaded with the us keymap, which would explain why @ and " have swapped places. Anyone know what the correct course of action is to get my keyboard working correctly?
Cheers, Jonny

It's very simple. Add
Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
into that InputClass section.

  • [SOLVED]Setting x11 keyboard map PERMANENTLY for all.

    Read carefully through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg.
    Ran 'localectl set-x11-keymap gb' as instructed.  Confirmed this creates: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
    Ran 'grep "config directory" /var/log/Xorg.0.log'  which confirms that this /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is where it's looking.
    Ran 'grep "xkb"  /var/log/Xorg.0.log'  which confirms that 'Option "xkb_layout "gb"' is the ONLY one found. (it appears several times).
    But setxkbmap -print -verbose 10 shows xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev"  }
    and the keyboard map is STILL 'us'.   @=" etc...
    Reread the wiki, still don't understand.
    Typing 'setxlbmap gb' into a terminal works for the session.
    Adding that to .xinitrc before the window manager command has NO effect.
    I tried adding the option to 10-evdev.conf, but that doesn't do it.
    So HOW DO you set the damn thing permanently?  Clearly evdev is not logging what it is doing in Xorg.0.log, so where is it logging?
    Something seems to have changed since the wiki article was written.

  • I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

    LizMaddock,
    you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

  • Im having problems with my Kids facetime accounts that seem to be because they are both using my itunes and there are conflicts with multiple email addresses? Is it possible to now set the kids up with their own accounts without losing their apps etc

    Hi All,
    I have my kids using iTunes via thier ipods etc through my own account and this hase been the case for some time?
    This has started to cause issues lately with imessaging and facetime, as there seems to be a limit on email addresses that can be associated with one account?
    I wonder if I would be best off setting the kids up with their own accounts, but want to be able to do this without them losing their existing apps, music etc?
    Is this possible, if so is there a simple process cos I can seem to find anything relating to this?
    many thanks, Jim

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • I have an original iPad with the latest software.  When I send an email, the keyboard opens with halk on the right side and halk of the left across the body of the email.  How can I change this?

    I have an original iPad with the latest software.  When I send an email, the keyboard opens with halk on the right side and halk of the left across the body of the email.  How can I change this?

    Tap and hold on the Keyboard key at the bottom right side of the right portion of the keyboard.  You can use the Dock and Merge option from the menu.
    Alternatively you can drag the keyboard down and move slightly left, to get it to merge.

  • Exporting the Places map with attached photos

    Is there a way to export the places map, with photos, to a web page or mobile me so a person can click on a pin and see the photo, just like it works when running iPhoto?

    Google's free photo service, Picasaweb, offers the kind of the map and photos you seem to be looking for. For example:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/albumMap?uname=dankohn&aid=5560978952766944097#ma p
    Unfortunately, the Picasa exporter for iPhoto strips out the geotagging information on upload. So, instead, you can use Phoshare to export your pictures to a folder with full metadata included. Then, use the free Picasa software to upload to Google.

  • Where oh where is the Keyboard Map?

    I have the complete Adobe font library installed. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to insert a double dagger or other symbols in a text file. I have two keyboard nation flags up top in the Menu Bar, but need the keyboard map for each,.
    The Missing Manual by D. Pogue says nothing about it.

    cmd-ctrl-space brings up the character viewer. It is also available in the Input menu (flags). Additionally, you can bring up the keyboard viewer from the input menu (that likely won't be useful unless the double-dagger is mapped to a key).

  • How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

    Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find how to set my desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3. It was simple when using Iphoto, but I can't find the method in aperture.
    Thanks,
    Dale.

    Command(⌘)-9 is no longer listed in the list of default keyword shortcuts, and it has no effect.
    I wrote a little Automator service to bring the Command(⌘)-9 back.
    A copy of this service is here for download:
    http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/SetDesktopPicture.workflow.zip
    This service uses three actions:
    Aperture: Get selected images
    Export Masters
    Finder: Set the Desktop Picture
    To install it, open the workflow in Automator and save it as service.
    To use it, select any image in Aperture, then activate the service from the Aperture menu -> Services, and it will set the master of the selected image as Desktop picture.
    If you like, you can assign the Command(⌘)-9 key to the service (in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts Panel) and then  turn any image you selected into Desktop wallpaper by simply pressing (⌘)-9.
    @Frank Caggiano, if you are still following this thread: for some reason this workflow succeeds with exporting the master, but I could not get it to work with the versions instead. Any ideas?
    Caution: this service will clutter the Desktop with the exported images. If you want to avoid that, change the export action to export the image to a different folder.
    Regards

  • FMLE won't let me set the sample rate with Blackmagic Decklink Studio 2 (Windows)

    Hi,
    I am trying to set the audio device on FMLE to the Decklink Studio 2's audio inputs. However,
    the sample rate sticks to 44.1k and I can't change it to the 48kHz sample rate that
    the Decklink defaults to (standard for broadcast is 48k).
    Try as I may, it isn't changeable. I seem to remember a similar problem where the
    sample rate defaults to the system audio card (on the motherboard) which is at
    44.1.
      Any ideas on a work-around? The audio from the Decklink is *much* better than
    the built in card.....
    thanks

    One thing you might try doing is trashing the preference file in your user directory:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.compressor.Compressor.plist
    Like repairing permissions, this is a bit of a "catch-all" fix, not something specific to this particular problem.
    Also, have you tried different file types like: TIFF or JPEG, there could be an issue with output from Fireworks. You could use QT Pro to transcode the file. Sometimes that can work to fix funky problems.
