Trouble with norwegian keyboard layout in gnome 3

Hello.
I have installed gnome 3 from extra, got gdm running. But i can not use the norwegian keyboard layout. In the logonscreen in gdm it is the norwegian layout, but when im loged in as root it si "us" keyboard layout.
I can use "setxkbmap no" to set the layout to norwegian. But a rebot or restart of X negates that, and I will have to do it again.
My computer is a Fujitsu Siemens amilo pro v3405.
Below are my xorg.conf files:
10-evdev.conf:
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*"
        Option          "XkbModel" "fscaa1667g"
    Option          "XkbLayout" "no"
    Driver "evdev"
EndSection
#Section "InputClass"
#        Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
#        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
#        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#        Driver "evdev"
#EndSection
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection
My 10-keyboard.conf that doesnt work:
#Section "InputClass"
#    Identifier    "Keyboard Defaults"
#    MatchIsKeyboard    "yes"
#    Option        "XkbModel" "fscaa1667g"
#    Option        "XkbLayout" "no"
#EndSection
And my 10-synaptics.conf for touchpad:
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "2"
        Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

Thx for quick respond and thx for the headsup on use of code tags.
I tried to comment out keybord section in 10-evdev.conf and use that 10-keyboard.conf, without the commenting, instead. My keyboard stoped responding at all by that.
I type setxkbmap no, have not put it in .xinitrc yet. I wanted to find a more "permanent" solution to the problem. I have also tryed to comment out
Option "XkbModel" "fscaa1667g"
but to no use.

  • Buy Macbook air in USA with Norwegian keyboard layout?

    I was thinking of buying a MacBook Air on my trip to Los Angeles, California in the start of November, but I can't seams to find any contact email for Apple Store or any Retail store, where is the Service in this place? If it is this hard to get in contact with Apple I'm not sure if I want one anymore...
    My question simply is if there is any chance to by a MacBook Air with a Norwegian keyboard layout when I'm over.
    Might this be pre-orderd? Can I just visit a store and get this? I'm only there for a week, so might not be enough time to order when I'm there.
    Can anyone answer this? Or give me an email address to send this to? I'm not planning on calling to US for this, email is free and fast and don't care to much about time differences....
    Kind Regards
    Julian Askeland

    JasonFear,
    I have found that page a long time ago, but I'm still not able to find an email adress on the page, it might be me that is the problem. But please guide me to the emial.
    I have fond the visiting address and phone number, but I'm not there yet, and calling around the world don't fit into my time schedule do to time differences.
    Bu please show me the emial addresses, it would be most appreciated :-)

  • I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
    Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
    Flight to germany, but it over their.
    I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
    For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.

  • How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

    I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

    Start with  the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
    The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

  • Trouble with internal keyboard and touchpad

    Hi,
    Yesterday I just out of nowhere started having some trouble with my keyboard and touchpad on my MacBook Air.
    The problem displayed itself on various ways. One thing was that I couldn't press regulary with the touchpad. When I was pressing one time, it acted like a pressed with two fingers. When I tried to type in my password on the administrator page, some of the keys didn't work at all and some started to act weird. For example when I was pressing the letter B, the "bar" which displayes where you are in the text (don't know the word in English) went backwards, and when I pressed the letter F it went forward. This seemes so weird and also gives me a hope that it might be some setting failure though B stands for backwards and F stands for forward.
    I could log in to the guestpage where I tried to write in "notes". In notes, no letters at all was working, only numbers. When I tried to shut the computer down from the apple symbol I was asked to write administrator name and password. When I tried to mark the name to write it, there wasn't a "bar" but a cross, but on the other hand did it work to write in the password field. But of course not B and F..
    Usualy I'd just press the on/off botton until the computer lockdown, unfortunately the botton doesn't work. So the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and hope that it would start when I recharged it and pressed start, this didn't go as well as I hoped, so now I'm stuck with a dead macbook air.
    Any ideas of what could be the problem or/and any solutions what might do the trick?
    Extremly greatful for any answers

    Yes you need to use a wired keyboard.

  • Buy new MacBook in Paris (with English keyboard layout)

    I want to buy new Macbook in Paris with US keyboard layout not French one. Since there are no official Mac Store in France how can I do that ?
    Oh one more thing. I also want to laser Russian alphabet on buttons in Paris. Is it possible to do that ?

    http://store.apple.com/fr - this is a reseller.
    No, it's not, not if you mean an independently-owned company apart from Apple. It's the official Apple Store, owned by Apple. When you order from that Apple Store, you're ordering directly from Apple.
    why don't they writу full number with France code - as far as I know it is 33. so it is 33 0800 046 046
    Probably because they assume that anyone ordering from the French Apple Store is in France and so doesn't need the country code. Why you can't get through to that number from another country, as I presume you're attempting, I can't say.
    Well the information I have from Russian reseller is that they order them from US or UK they do not laser buttons in Russia.
    Again, what Apple can and will do for a distributor/dealer is different from what they can do for an individual purchaser. Apple computers sold in a given country are usually only sold with a keyboard applicable to that country. Getting a different keyboard is often just not possible as may well be the case for you.
    A workaround might be to get a MacBook with a keyboard from another language and get a set of Russian keyboard overlay stickers. Another possibility would be to purchase an external USB keyboard with Russian keys. Neither option would be an elegant solution but it might be worth it if you can save as much as you say by buying in France. Again, though, note that Apple France will not ship a system to you in Russia (or any other country); you'd have to go to France to get it.

  • Why am I having trouble with my keyboard?

    Ever since the IOS 6 update, I have been having trouble with my keyboard.  I type a word and press space bar, then type the next word but it doesn't recognize the fact that I typed the space bar. It lights up as a mispelled word.  It has done with numerous times.  I then have to go back, highlight the area, and choose two separate words when the auto-correct options appear.  It is very annoying.  Anyone else having this issue????

    If the App store app is crashing see:
    IOS 6 App store crash: Apple Support Communities
    For othe other problems try:
    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the keyboard sensitivity on the iphone?

    is anyone having trouble with the keyboard sensitivity on the iphone? I am typing, but can sometimes get a delay of 5 seconds or more before the letters actually appear on the screen.
    This is across all apps.
    Does not seem to be an issue with opening apps or scrolling etc., but only with the keyboard.
    Thanks.

    I had this problem after downloading Dropbox. Once I uninstalled it, my keyboard was fine.

    well i read a lot of threads and i solved almost everything, but my keyboard layout is still a little strange, for example, before the "backslash" key (the one above the TAB key) doesn't work anymore, that really bothers me because i really use the midnight commander "hotdir" feature

  • [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"

    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.

  • Macbook booting with wrong keyboard layout.

    hello all,
    i've got a 15 inch macbook pro with the latest os x. every time i reboot, it resets the keyboard layout to american english even though i preset it to swiss german. this means that i always need to go to the language settings and change it to my layout, which is quite annoying.
    any suggestions how to solve this?

  • Pre-ordering Macbook Pro with Norwegian keyboard for US pickup - possible??

    If I pre-order/pre-pay a new Macbook Pro (Retina) for pickup in the US, is it possible to get it fitted with a norwegian keyboard? When buying online I only see the options for English, Spanish and French keyboards.

    Well, there not really any way I can in direct contact with them without calling them, which is not an option for me where I'm currently based. The potential pick-up stores themselves do not have emails listed on their page either..
    Is there any official helpline from apple which is email-based??

  • Troubles with wireless keyboard and iMac

    My iMac won't recognize most of the keys on my wireless keyboard. Only several of the function keys seem to work. I've even tried replacing it with a new wireless keyboard, which worked to type in the pairing codes but also wouldn't enter any text into the password field. Since I'm stuck at the login screen and can't enter my password, I can't access any of the software troubleshooting programs that apple support recommends. I just ran an update several days ago. Could that have caused troubles?

    1) You need to go into more detail as to the trouble with the wireless keyboard
    2) Why can't you get a USB one? You can't order one online? Borrow one from someone?
    Without some kind of text entry to enter the password this is going to be difficult.

  • Xfce issue with the keyboard layout

    Hello all
    I'm trying to configure my keyboard for another layout, but i just can't seem to do it, i've searched the xfce wiki and all
    The thing is, i'm doing these changes on the evdev file because i have no xorg-conf file, it's a directory not a file, and in the wiki they say this:
    Add the XkbLayout Option to your xorg.conf-file. Here is an example if you want to use german and russian keyboard-settings:
      Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier  "Keyboard0"
      Driver      "kbd"
           Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
           Option      "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
      EndSection
    While my edev file usually looks like this
    Section "InputClass"
            Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
            MatchIsKeyboard "on"
            MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
            Driver "evdev"
    EndSection
    And i changed it to:
    Section "InputClass"
            Identifier "Keyboard0"
            MatchIsPointer "on"
            MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
            Driver "evdev"
            Option "XkbLayout" "pt"
            Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    EndSection
    Really need a little hand here, thanks in advance
