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.

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?
thanks a lot in advance and kind regards

Setting keyboard layout with Mate Desktop

Hi everyone,
I use now Mate Desktop following the wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MATE>.
Since mate-display-manager doesn't work, I use SliM with auto login.
I'm using french dvorak keyboard (bépo), and I put it in System > Preferences > Keyboard, and removed the other one. But it's not working, it's using default US keyboard.
Does anyone had the same issue ?
Thanks.

The DE doesn't matter if you change the keyboard layout in Xorg.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, ro(std)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle, grp_led:scroll, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
Make sure you don't have another keyboard section in some other xorg.conf (/etc/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf) or in a different *.conf file in the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/" folder. Because one may inhibit the other.

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.

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?

Wrong keyboard layout

Leopard support 2 russian keyboard layouts. One old-native, other microsoft keyboard based (most popular). But Russian PC layout have a bug.
~ key must produce "Ё" letter, but hey produce default "~".
Message was edited by: axet

I am also facing a similar problem. I bought a Macbook in Japan which had Japanese keyboard layout i.e. which has " over numeric 2 key. Now I wish to change it to US layout which has @ over numeric 2 key.
I have not been able to figure out how to accomplish this. I tried some settings change in Input Menu but to no avail.
Can anybody help (preferably with screenshots)?

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 .

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.

Modified Keyboard Layout (Unicode) not useable with different fonts

Hi,
I have created a customized unicode keyboard layout with german basic layout and polish characters supplied with the "Alt" key. I activated the layout and was able to type in most of the OSx applications BUT only with fonts Times New Roman and Arial. When I switched to a differnet font and typed normal chars they were displayed in the font style selected. When I typed the Polish characters defined via ALT + A for example, these chars were displayed in TimesNew Roman, not in the selected font e.g. comic mt...
this was the case in ms office apps as well as in Apple Mail or other apps.
Please help me out. I need a functional basic German keyboard layout with aditional keys defined under ALT+ somewthat. How can I get this stuff working, maybe without using Unicode? Do I have to modify the generic .RSC files with ResEdit, and does somebody have an Idea how to do this.
Basically I need German keyboard with the mentioned addition of some polish keystrokes.
Many thanks in advance
thomas

There is nothing wrong with your keyboard. Your problem is probably caused by the fact that not every font has the characters needed for Polish. Just open up Character Palette, go to 0142, and look in the Font Variation panel. That will show you the fonts that do have the slashed l, for example. They should all work fine, except in Appleworks and Word X, which cannot do Unicode.

HT2587 Keyboard Layout Creator. Unfortunately I do not find any layout with the word "Apple" behind it out of the list.

I was not able to find a specific keyboard layout with the following word "Apple" in parenthesis.
Using Keyboard Layout Creator v1.4
Did someone else?
Thank you.

All those layouts should work with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8...
You get the parenthesis, the @ sign and other symbols exactly on the same key on OS X and Windows (see last 2 screen shots for the Swiss French layout).
The only difference is that on Windows to "alt/option" you must either [ctrl] + [alt left] or [alt right].
For a reminder if you want to toggle between "standard function keys" and "special features printed on each key" you can set this in "System Preferences > Keyboard" and "BootCamp Control Panel" respectively on OS X and Windows.

Keyboard layouts, linux and Swing

Hi,
I have some applications written with Swing. They run fine on Windows but on my linux box I can't type national (non-us) characters in it. I also did run JEdit which also behaves wrong - it can display non-us characters when I load file from disk but regardless of what keyboard layout I choose in KDE it can't recognize it correctly. Linux programs works fine.
I did some investigations and found, that KeyListener always returns 0x00 for those keystrokes which should produce national characters.
I need to be able to switch keyboard layouts at runtime without changing OS locale - this is multilangual application.
So, my question is: what do I have to do with my linux box setup to have correctly working keyboard layouts with swing applications? Mabe someone can explain me how java reads keyboard in X-es?
regards,
Tomasz Sztejka

Ok, I have found that when I set system locale to pl_PL (by export LC_ALL="pl_PL" from shell) then Polish keyboard works.
The problem is, I can't do that - the system locale must be left unspecified (POSIX or C) and Java application must be able to accept input from many languages all around the world.
For example, if I switch keyboard to bulgarian, swing sees some japanese (or similar) characters. On the other hand, when I will set locale to ru_RU then russian layout works correctly, while polish does produce garbage.
Please, help!

Satellite A110-180: How can I change the keyboard layout?

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.
