[SOLVED] Cinnamon stuck in US keyboard layout

I can't seem to get Cinnamon to use a UK keyboard layout. At the GDM login prompt the keyboard layout is correct, but as soon as I log in to cinnamon it switches to a US layout.
I can't find any Cinnamon setting applets to change the keyboard layout so I'm a bit stuck! Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I managed to fix it by installing gnome and using its 'System Settings' that has a 'Region & Language' section, which finally allowed me to set the correct keyboard

  • [SOLVED] trying to get my keyboard layout to work, & hal to mount..

    hi,
    prior to the recent xorg upgrade, i had my xorg.conf set my keyboard layout, and hal would automount my phone in pcmanfm. since the xorg update, for the sake of not having to to set up the new hotplugging, I disabled it in my xorg.conf so my keyboard would keep its layout.
    obviously though, with hot plugging switched off, hal wont mount my phone, so i am trying to get my keyboard set up and get hal automounting.
    i have set    Option       "AutoAddDevices" "True" in my xorg.conf
    i have edited /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi as follows;
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
    <deviceinfo version="0.2">
    <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">

    </match>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
    <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
    <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to

    </match>

    </deviceinfo>
    basically, my keyboard is still in us layout, and hal still wont mount my phone even after restarting X! what have i missed?

    ok, i managed to fix the problem. i edited the .fdi file as follows;
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

    <device>

    for some reason, logiaccess and kbd work in xorg.conf, but no in hal? instead, evdev can do everything!

  • Cinnamon keyboard layout [solved]

    I've just installed cinnamon and looks great. Except I can't see where to set the keyboard layout. There doesn't seem to be a keyboard layout icon on the panel and if I go into cinnamon settings->keyboard all I get are a couple of tabs saying Typing and Keyboard Shortcuts but no keyboard layout? And ideas please? Many thanks

  • [SOLVED] German keyboard layout working in XDM, but not in E17?

    Hello out there,
    After a fresh installation of my Arch Linux box, I want to use e17.
    Everything works fine, except that e17 does not take over the german keyboard layout that I configured for X.
    This is the content of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    EndSection
    Under XDM, I can enter Umlauts and everything is fine. In e17, this is not the case.
    I am sure that I already had this problem in the past but I can't remember the solution.
    Any ideas?
    EDIT: Now I put this in the file 10-evdev.conf, but with still no more effect.
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
    EndSection

    Solved only for basic variants of keyboard layouts. I use 'cz qwerty', but no option for this xkbmap variant is icluded into XKBSwitch module. Loading this variant manually via setxkbmap command is possible'but annoying... There is no support for XKB variants in e17 when X used and supported by e17 provide the job reliably but of extraordinary way for e17 configuration.

  • Cinnamon keyboard layout change shortcut

    Hello,
    As I see, Cinnamon doesn't allow to set shortcut to (Alt + Shift) for keyboard layout changing. I've managed to found few solutions:
    https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2463
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1337685
    http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=4658.0
    But neither of them worked. I believe that some of you guys are used to this shortcut, how did you manage to config it?

  • [SOLVED] setting X keyboard layout

    Hello!
    I would like to set my X "keyboard layout" as is dictated here.
    I created a file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-tipkovnica.conf" which i wrote like this:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "si"
    Option "XkbVariant" "alternatequotes"
    EndSection
    When i wrote this i tried to check if it works, but when i type in command
    setxkbmap -print -verbose 10
    i get an error:
    Setting verbose level to 10
    Cannot open display "default display"
    How can i solve this?

    I thought so. That's why it's not working. You need to be in X (that's what "Cannot open display default display" means).

  • [Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

    After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work.

    I don't see it in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts, so I guess that means yes.  Maybe you can see if you can pull an old kbd package from the Arch Rollback Machine and stick the layout in there (and maybe the font too... not sure how that works).

  • [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"

    cfr wrote:Have you tried specifying a variant?
    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.

  • [SOLVED] After a crash, my languages and keyboard layouts are gone!

    So my CPU hanged, I rebooted, unfortunatelly a lot of my personal (and perhaps system) files were corrupted. All my personal GNOME settings were set to default. I had to wipe out the entire ~/.config/dconf folder in order to regain the capability to customize everything again. So all was left behind was my keyboard layout. So I went to `Regions and Languages` and... all but the system language (English) options were gone, including the layouts!
    I just reinstalled the groups gnome and gnome-extra, no to avail
    What can I do?
    edit: stupid me! The layouts were 'hidden' in the tiny window size of the thing!

  • Gnome3 keyboard layout icon disappeared [SOLVED]

    Hello guys.
    I'm using Gnome3 and have no idea how to edit applets in the panel of gnome-shell.
    The problem is that I don't have keyboard layout icon in panel(With or without useFlags option set in gconf-editor). How can i fix it?
    And BTW does anyone have problem with switching layout with caps lock key? It just doesn't switch layout.
    Sorry for my English.
    Thanks in advance.

  • [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.

    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.

  • [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).
