[SOLVED] Keyboard layout changed to English after xorg update

Hello all,
I just logged in to my Arch box after a few days of not using it, and issued
pacman -Syu
and upgraded, among others, xorg-server and xorg-server-common to versions 1.11.1-2. Now, after logging out and back in to restart X, I find that my keyboard layout is now (presumably American) English. However, looking under Menu -> Settings -> Keyboard in the XFCE menu, I still see the preferred layout set to Norwegian, as I want. Messing with the settings in this GUI seems to have no effect. However,
setxkbmap no
still works. Anybody experience something similar or have any hints?
Here's the output of

It seems to be treated as standard behavior here (I had the same problem though):

[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).

[SOLVED]Keyboard layout changed.

Hi i did a major upgrade yesterday, having waited to do an upgrade for a few weeks because of wonky nvidia drivers i finally managed to Syu yesterday and upgraded 133 packages. Everything works fine it seems apart from one thing i noticed this morning, my keyboard layout has changed from the english GB one. any suggestions how i can change it?

KEYMAP="uk"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=

Thanks for the help loafer i'd changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf like so -
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
but that didn't work. so i followed the archwiki link http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#InputClasses from the news article you pasted. Seemed i needed to make a keyboard.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, which i did -
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
A quick logout and login and now i have my gb layout. Sadly my keyboard model isn't in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst so i can't set
"Xkbmodel" and get all the functions from my keyboard. never mind. thanks again for the help loafer
@Mr.Elendig
yes, i thought as much. but i'm still a newb and was just trying to give some info, seems it was a futile gesture.

Keyboard layout indicator rendering issues after KDE update.

The lower part of the flag is wrong. When I open "configure", all the icons are OK there.
Strange issue. Does anybody else have it?
Last edited by Mad Fish (2010-02-11 19:45:27)

I even tried to install KDEMod, but the issue is still there.
Also I've tried to reinstall the specific packages (kdebase-runtime contains country flags icons, and kdebase-workspace contains the kxkb) with -Rd and then -S, but it doesn't help as well.
Please help! That is really annoying

N810 slidy keyboard layout change

nokia n810 tablet
I will appreciate if you give me an advise or any help on slidy keyboard layout change.
I have russian keyboard and enlish letters are also there on the buttons but to use it I need to push SHIFT then Fn and then the key for english character to appear.
Is there a way to type in english constantly in this case?

FYI, it is possible to remap keys using xmodmap, so that
for instance you can make FN-; generate "|" instead of
"£"
However, when I tried adding xmodmap to /home/user/.profile,
I bricked my device (had to remove the battery, reinsert and
re-flash). Not sure why; worked on my Linux desktop.

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?

Maybe this? http://millertechnologies.net/forum/ind … 337#msg337

Hi mattywix - can you add any more detail please ?
I have a recent experience that sounds related to your problem - I have a 15" macbook pro bought new in the UK a couple of years ago (macbookpro 5,3), which has been running perfectly under snow leopard until a couple of days ago when my trackpad stopped recognising the standard "left" click.
"Right" click, scroll and pointer movement continued to work fine.
Booting in safe mode seemed to give me back the left click but this was immediately lost when I returned to standard boot up.
Doing a full reinstall from original disks, all seemed fine. Over 1.6Gb of software updates and everything worked great. Then the final run of S/W update took me from os-x 10.6.6 to 10.6.7 plus a few other changes and again the trackpad stopped recognising "left" click.
Plugging in an external drive which had a copy of my system as at OS-X 10.6.3 and booting off that - everything works fine again.
I can only conclude that there's an issue with the 10.6.7 upgrade and my 2 year old MBP hardware so will have to reinstall yet again but stop at 10.6.6
My concern is that after the first upgrade to 10.6.7 I put the laptop on charge to top it up from about 70% and came back to find the machine abnormally hot. With your comment about toasting the logic board, I wonder if there's a bug in the power control software too which I was lucky enough to catch before my machine suffered the same damage as yours ?
Sorry to hear about your bad luck but thanks for warning us about it.

[SOLVED]Keyboard layout messy after wake up or using KVM-switch

After waking up the computer from suspension or using my KVM-switch, the keyboard layout is pretty messed up.
"qwertzuiopü+" becomes ".,ñpyfgchl"
"asdfghjklöä#" becomes "aoeuidrtnsḉ"
"<yxcvbnm,.-" becomes "<-qjkxbmwvz"
I know the origin of the problem is that XKB is only set by my .xinitrc. But how can I bypass this? How can I set XKB with the German layout by default?

[Solved] keyboard layout not being picked up

So I recently ran into a problem where my keyboard layout is not being correctly set up. When I run
[ben@ksack ~]$ setxkbmap -print -verbose
I am greeted with
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'base' model - 'pc105' layout - 'us'
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us+inet(pc105)
geometry: pc(pc105)
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(pc105)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
My config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf is the following
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"

EndSection

Driver "evdev"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
If I run
setxkbmap -layout gb
that fixes the problem but I can't figure out
Why my config stopped working
Where to include setxkbmap such that I get my map loaded correctly
Any and all help greatly appreciated.

ahhh. My locale is certainly wrong. I shall fix that, but that shouldn't effect the way that X configures the keyboard, right? I changed it anyway. Problem remains. I also fixed up my .xinitrc, that didn't help either. I think there must be something deeply wrong somewhere.
What I mean by worked and then didn't is that at my keyboard was fine (gb) with X, then at some point after an upgrade it ceased to work properly i.e. was being configured as US kb.

[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. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Keyboard layout changing question

I use three different keyboard layouts: English, Spanish and Bulgarian. Back in Windows I added Spanish as a variant of English and used ctrl + shift to change English/Bulgarian and alt + shift to change English/Spanish. Now when I moved to linux I want to setup my layouts in a similar way. Is there any way to do it?

Do you use gnome? If you do, you can just go to System>>Preferences>>Keyboard and click on the Layouts tab. You can then add layouts from there. In the Layout Options tab, under the Group Shift/Lock behaviour section, you can select how you want to be able to change groups.. But, I'm not sure if you can make it so that one sequence changes it from english to bulgarian and one changes it from english to spanish... I do know that you can have say alt+shift have it cycle through english, bulgarian, and english.. You can also right click on the panel, hit add to panel, find Keyboard Indicator, and hit add.. That will add a little thing that says what keyboard layout you are using, and you can just click on it to change to another one..
If you don't use gnome I'm afraid I can't help you...
Hope that helps

Keyboard layout changed

Recently I downgraded my HP Pavillion dv6000 series from Vista to XP. However, since the change, I have noticed some odd quirks about my keyboard layout. Most vital keys are the same, but many symbols have been altered. " and @ symbols have been switched. My # turned into £. Backslash is now ~, and tilde is now ¬. Any suggestions?

what region and locale did you set it to?

Keyboard layout changed by itself...

The keyboard of my MacBook changed by itself.
I have a US keyboard, now i do not know to what it changed.
I never connected an external keyboard or even changed the setting.
Since then, the NumLock does not lit anymore as well.
Anybody has an idea what it can be???
MacBook Core Duo 2Ghz 1Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi arprods
I read you similar post ealier, and looks like it hasn't solved yet.
Just to kill my couriousity:
Did you do another installation or you still using the original installation out from the box.
If you did do another OS installation which country you select and which keyboard layout you choose?
Try to go to system preference > Keyboard and mouse > Keyboard short cut > Restore default.
system preference > international > input menu > click on :use one input menu in all document
(US -- keyboard -- Unicode should be the only on that checked)
system preference > format > Region : United States
currency > US dollar
Hope that will sort things out.
Good Luck.
