Wrong keyboard layout used by autotype of synergy and keepassx

Hi there!
I have a real strange problem. I am a german user with german keyboard layout and everything works fine - except of autotyping apps like keepassx and synergy. Both are applications which type for you and behave like they are typing on a us-international keyboard since xorg 1.7.
Example: I want to login with keepass into this forum (it's a passwordmanager) and tell it to autotype my loginname and password. As you see I have "Murray_B" as a login. "Murray_B" is stored in the database and worked perfectly for months. Since xorg 1.7 it types "Murraz/B", that's the thing I would get if I would type wit us-international-layout, which is surely the default keyboard-layout somewhere.
First I thought it is a keepassx-problem, but then I had the same with synergy, if I type on a "remote" computer, I am typing like I have an us-keyboard... Both computers have a current archlinux installed.
I changed from a statix xorg.conf to autoconfiguration but nothing changed. That's my xorg.conf at the moment:
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidiacard"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen0"
Device "nvidiacard"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Builtin Default Layout"
Screen "screen0"
EndSection
And that's my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
<append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>

<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
string="Linux">
<merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
</match>
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">nodeadkeys</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Anyone an idea, where I can correct that?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

I have a similar problem during login - my bluetooth keyboard will do QWERTY while the built-in laptop keyboard does AZERTY as it's supposed to do. Once I log into X though, the bluetooth keyboard switches to AZERTY... Not' sure what's going on.
Note: not plugging my topic, merely pointing out I have something fishy going on too .

Wrong keyboard layout with sgd 4.31.901 client on Ubuntu 9.10

Hello,
I have to log in to my work network using the sgd client (.tarantella/tcc/4.31.905) via firefox on Ubuntu Linux 9.10.
It is working fine except from a wrong keyboard layout. The X and Y keys are switched and all the special symbols are on unexpected places (@#:"|;'\<>,.). I have a normal us-international keyboard. It looks like the keymap is set to a german keyboard layout.
Our helpdesk doesn't understand linux. And I think it has something to do with the right ubuntu settings coming from the sgd linux client to the server.
Could anyone please help me with this?
Bart

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 now, and the problem came back. The export XKEYSYMDB=/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB
line does not work anymore.
First I logon to the sgd server. After that I get my sgd desktop, from where I select (for example) outlook. The Windows network password is going well, and it contains a "y". But in Outlook or any other application like word or excel the y and z are swapped.
Could please anyone help me with this? My work ICT department is not one of the best. ;-)

Wrong keyboard layout after Mavericks update

Hi,
after update to OSX Mavericks the wrong Keyboard Layout is selected on Logon Screen after reboot and/or logoff.
If i change it from "US" to "German" it will show the "US" again after next logoff/reboot.
Befor the update to Mavericks, the language was only german and this was fine for me.
Maybe someone have a solution, because i don´t want the US Keyboard Layout at the Logon Screen...
regards
Mathias

Hi,
two things I can think off:
1. Check if you have set your keyboard in xorg.conf as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … S_keyboard
2. Open dconf-editor, surf there to org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard
I have Layout set to ['de\tnodeadkeys'] there.

I mistakenly moved my apple keyboard layout bundle to the trash can and now I am unable to log onto my computer. I can't type anything so I can't access my account to get back onto my computer.

restart and hold Command+r to enter in recovery mode and ill allow you to repair your OS X installation. If you cannot repair it, then just create a new user, as usually issues with keyboards are rooted in the user's account.
Good luck

Sun VDI3: wrong keyboard layout (US instead of de_CH) after power-up

Hi all,
I have a strange problem:
Despite trying this trick here .... :
http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/using_sun_rays_with_non
and despite editing the "/tftpboot/SunCoronaP8.parms" file and setting the "kbcountry=28" parameter I always get the US keyboard layout at first when the Sun Ray DTU's boot up.
So to get the correct layout I first have to hit the "Quit" button in the VDI3 login mask -- only after this step I get the correct Swiss German (de_CH) keyboard layout.
A few infos:
- OS: Solaris 10u7
- VDI3 Patch #2
- Language is English (POSIX C) (this particular customer is a University ... so everything is supposed to be in English anyway)
- Keyboards: Sun Type 6 USB, Swiss German layout (were delivered with the Sun Ray 2 DTU's)
I know that with the "GUI" firmware you can pre-configure the keyboard layout ... But this customer specifically doesn't want the "GUI" firmware. The Sun Rays are being used in the University's library and other public areas of the campus ... so we don't want to tempt the students into "playing" with the Firmware's menus (... they are good at using Google too and the instructions on how to trigger the menu aren't really hard to find ...). Password-protecting the menu is "security by obscurity" and the admins don't want that either .... So: no "GUI" firmware here.
Is there any other reliable way which would allow me to pre-set the keyboard code to 28 ??
BTW, is this a bug? Or why is the US layout being loaded first?
Thanks in advance + regards,
DJ.

hello all,

thanks a lot in advance and kind regards

Wrong keyboard-layout after suspend

Hej,
when I put my Thinkpad T400 to sleep (by closing the lid), it recovers from suspend with an english keyboard layout. I have to do a "setxkbmap de" manually everytime.
Running this from /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ delivers a "Can't open "default display"" error in the logfile and other than that has no effect.
any ideas anyone?
I am using gnome3, if that is of any importance.
thanks

LXDE: wrong keyboard layout or keyboard type?

Hi all!
I'm running Arch on LXDE, and having a keyboard issue
I set the keyboard layout during the Arch install (a french keyboard), and on LXDE (editing /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart)
SO, I got the right azerty layout, but there's some keys I don't have access to.
Mainly the "alt" ones:
ie, I can press the "_" key, and acess "8" with shift, but can't acess the "anti-slash" with right alt
nor the "at" character with alt+0
I guess it's probably more of a keyboard "type" than a keyboard "layout" issue, but I can't find any info on the wiki?

DBase IV wrong keyboard layout

Hi Spicers.
Got an issue here.
We're still using an old dBase IV application ... yeah... I know... *sigh*
In orde to deal with al kinds of speed issues, I set it up on a VM, so I can size the machine down. Works fine, no probs, except one.
Here in Belgium we have AZERTY Keyboards... yeah... I know... *sigh*... again
De VM is Windows 7, with AZERTY, but dBase IV runs in a command prompt box, and has QWERTY.
Win7 => no KEYB command anymore.
Someone got a way to force the AZERTY in dBase IV?

MSI GS70 wrong keyboard layout

To make a long story short: I got an MSI GS-70 with a German layout but i want it to be a US-International layout.
The seller doesn't sell one with different layouts or (other keyboards) and I want to know if there is a way to still own one with the standard layout
Thanks in advance...

Your best bet is to contact MSI and find out if you can purchase a different one. I know that the MSI store sells some spare parts, but I'm not sure exactly what they will sell. You'd have to contact them to find out.

Lost the keyboard backlight, use of my USB ports and camera shows as disconnected. How do I fix this?

Please help. I'm still a MAC rookie.
I unplugged my Pedometer from one of the USB ports on my Macbook Pro. Ever since then, I lost the backlight to my keyboard. I did some troubleshooting on these discussion boards and found a few with similar issues, but most of the discussions were old and the solutions were out of date. As one of them advised, I checked to see if my Isight Camera was still connected and it wasn't. I also tried plugging a few different things into both USB ports and neither of them worked either. So whatever caused this, it's affecting all 3 of these things. I don't know if my Pedometer is old/bad and it "short-circuited" the USB port and everything else along with it when I unplugged it or if something coincidentally went bad at the same time that I removed it.
I read some old answers from the discussion boards where they suggested a Command (R) system recovery reboot. But I also read that that really doesn't help on newer operating systems. I am on OS X. Here is my Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,4
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
I did recently purchase a backup drive and I THINK I previously backed everything up properly. But, I can't even plug that into the USB port now to see if I
can somehow use that to fix this since the ports aren't working. I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please!?
Thanks in advance!

Cannot switch keyboard layout in applets using system settings

I use Java Plugin Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_09-b01) on Windows XP SP2 and if try to switch a keyboard layout, for example, from English to Russian, it switches only by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Shift instead of Ctrl+Shift, that used in system settings. How to obtain a switching a keyboard layout using system settings?

Although in settings the "english" keyboard is ticked as selected
Are you referring to the Language section of settings? If so, that has nothing to do with keyboards.
when checking in settings the word britsh appears underneath Dutch
You can rearrange the order of the keyboards by poking the Edit button and holding down the symbol at the far right of each keyboard name in the keyboard list (3 horizontal bars). See if that helps.

Changing my keyboard layout

Hello,
I am proficient in typing in the Dvorak keyboard layout.
It took me a while to find but in OS 10.4> System Preferences> International it is there as a selectable option. Once selected I can switch back and forth from the top bar in the finder.
However... way back when I first learned Dvorak I swapped the positions of "i" and "u" (Why would I do such a stupid thing?) I did this because it made Dvorak (as great as it is) into an even more efficient layout.
In OS 8- OS 9 I simple went to the system file, duplicated the Dvoark keyboard layout, Renamed the duplicate "Dvorak IU" and then proceeded to swap "i" and "u" with ResEdit 2.1.3.
But now in OS 10 I am befuddled.
How to I create or add or edit to enable Dvorak IU
in the international pane of the system preferences?
Please Help, O Master

Hi,
and welcome to the discussions.
The default keyboard layouts reside in /System/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Each layout is packaged inside a bundle, you may view the contents by ctrl-clicking (right click) one and using Show package contents command. I would not recommend editing default ones.
Because OS X is a multiuser OS each user has own Library. You could create your own layout and save it inside your own library. Path is yourshortname/Library/Keyboard Layouts. That would leave the system intact in case something goes wrong.
There are several utilities available. One of a kind is Ukekele and the SIL has lots of useful information available among the list of other utilities.

Hi
Looks like you use a wrong keyboard layout. I thin the language settings are wrong!!!
Maybe you have an US keyboard layout and the settings are set to UK?
Please check this in the control panel -> regional and language options -> languages -> details.
There you can add a second language or you can change the first one to another keyboard layout.
