Wrong X keyboard layout after upgrade

Hi,
I have an Eeepc 701SD with LXDE/GDM running on it.
Today I ran a pacman -Syu after about 2 weeks. For some reason, now my keyboard layout on X seems to be using the US keyboard layout, while it should be abnt2 (I'm from Brazil)
I still have the hal policy "10-keymap.fdi" there, setting the "input.xkb.layout" to "br" as it was before, and hal service is running.
Strange that I didn't see any xorg or hal packages being updated, mostly gtk, gnome and gdm related packages.
Does anyone have any idea on what can be causing this?
Thanks.

(this dialog appears, when the password field is active) ...this works for me
Thanks a lot for the tip. This solved my problem. Also I checked the keyboard layout settings at system -> preference -> keyboard and it shows the right layout settings after restarting (not like in the past after gnome 2.28 update).
Yours,
Engin

Cannot find backslash (\) on German keyboard anymore after upgrading to OS 10.6 from OS 10.5

Cannot find backslash (\) on German keyboard anymore after upgrading to OS 10.6 from OS 10.5. It used to be at Alt-ß. Anyone can help please ?

Never mind. Found it in an old post. It is mapped at Shift-Alt-7, really weird.

Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
It's irritating.

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.

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

Problems with keyboard layout after 10.7.1

Hi,
After install the 10.7.1, the computer do not recognize the keyboard layout in startup process (when ask for the password in order to open the encrypted volume), and I have to use the US Keyboard Layout to introduce the password.
The main problem is my keboard is in a Spanish ISO layout, so, I have to remember where the symbols are defined...
How can I change the keybard layout for the boot process???
Thanks in advance.
H.
P.S: After login, the keyboard layout is well defined...

Hi @ all,
same problem here. On my MacBook Air the keyboard layout at the login-screen (FileVault 2) changed to US after the Update to 10.7.1. After I tried to change this back to the German one, my MacBook does net accept any way to enter my password any more.
It seems that I have to reset my password with the key stored by Apple.
Do you know how to set the keyboard layout for FileVault 2, so that this doesn't happen again?
Thank you!

[SOLVED] startx: no keyboard/mouse after upgrade

Hello,
After an upgrade during which X was upgraded to 1.16 the keyboard and mouse stopped working after using startx. When I start X with startx as root the keyboard and mouse work.
After the upgrade I made a .xinitrc like in the wiki article about xinitrc and I copied /etc/X/xinit/xserverrc to ~/.xserverrc
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey,
Thanks for your answer.
I start X using startx and this .xinitrc in my home directory:
#!/bin/sh
#~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your windows manager from here
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
xrdb /merge ~/.Xresources
setxkbmap de
# Here awesome is kept as default
# no va: session=${1: -awesome}
case $session in
awesome) exec awesome;;
fluxbox) exec startfluxbox;;
# No known session, try to run it as command
# no va *) exec $1;;
*) exec awesome;;
esac
I created the .xinitrc after this wiki article
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc
I tried it without the .xserverrc in the home directory and it is the same. I read that in a forum. But probably it is not necessary because the behaviour is the same...
Before the upgrade, I started X using xinit, but now using xinit I get the error :
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
And I read on a forum that I should use startx.
I'm not running as root. I try to run X as a normal user. When I run it as root it works.
In the boot messages from systemd journal I see these messages:
systemd-logind[642]: Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
systemd-logind[642]: Failed to fully start up daemon: No such file or directory
systemd-logind[675]Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
systemd-logind[675]: Failed to fully start up daemon: No such file or directory
Sorry I don't really know what to look for in the logs...
I have a nvidia card and I use the proprietary drivers and Bumblebee.

PRS-T1 keyboard missing after upgrade to 1.0.05

Just made an update to the latest firmware 1.0.05, but after the upgrade and factory reset, the keyboard seems missing.
For instance, in the dictionary, no keyboard appear... not able to type in as no keyboard
Additionally, when i try to go the Settings -> General Settings -> Keyboard. An error message "The application Settings has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" appeares.
And ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello boyamyxia,
Have you been able to try a standard reset with the reader to see if that resolved the issue? This can be done by pressing and holding the reset button on the PRST1. If that does not resolve the issue, I would like to try a hard reset. This can be done by following the link below:
http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1024494 (NOTE: A hard reset will remove all the books on the device)
Let me know if any of these troubleshooting steps are able to resolve your issue.

Removing keyboard layout to upgrade GPU

Hi,
I'm using a G575 and noted that there is no way to open the top of the keyboard cover other than some cracks I saw between keyboard and the insides. Just wondering how to go about opening up this portion. Another thing that I want to ask about is, whether or not there is the ability to a) upgrade GPU and b) replenish CPU thermo paste (want to replace it with higher performance).
Regards,
Jim

Hi bassbelouder,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community Forums.
Please see Hardware and maintenance manual under page 47. Please exercise caution when accessing components in the laptop. Please follow steps listed under page 33 of the service manual before replacing parts. To replace the keyboard you need to remove the battery and the access panel first. Then after this you will need to remove 3 keyboard screws. After removing the 3 keyboard screws, you can use a plastic pick (prying tool) or your fingernails to lift the keyboard up a little from the edge, then slowly slide the keyboard towards the LCD panel.
With regards to CPU thermo paste you should be able to apply it with a different thermal paste of your choice. However, with the GPU the integrated version does not show any provision for any available slots for the upgrade.
Hope this helps.

Keyboard problems after upgrade to iOS 8.02

has anyone else had problems with the keyboard obscuring the screen since upgrading to iOS 8.02?. I cant see what I'm typing.

Hey Dizzy blue,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after updating to iOS 8.0.2. If you have not yet already done so, let’s try restarting or resetting your device:
If the issue persists after a restart, let’s see if we can isolate further by backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.

[SOLVED] lost my keyboard keymap after upgrade

Hi!
After this upgrade (xorg among them), my keyboard is set to english again,
- in rc.conf the keymap is correctly set to sv-latin1
- typing loadkeys sv-latin1 in the terminal does not help
- if I log in as root, typing in the terminal gives me the right keyboard?
So I dont get it what could be missing here,
even during boot it says loading keymap sv-latin1 OK
Last edited by m4co (2010-06-23 12:49:03)

Both the keymap you see in rc.conf (which is the keymap applied when booting) and loadkeys have no effect on X. You're probably after setxkbmap.
Anyway, xorg-xserver no longer makes use of hal. See http://www.archlinux.org/news/502/. Identical thread here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99556.

For All Those Who Miss The Old Layout After Upgrad...

So yeah, I feel your pain but I've found a kind of workaround that will give you some of the missing layout features you miss from the previous versions of Skype, including the compact view and opening chats in new windows.
To do so, follow these steps.
Log into Skype, (obviously).
On the page that appears click VIEW.
Then click on SPLIT WINDOW.
Then close the second window that appears.
Please be sure to tell anyone you know about this topic and to reply to keep others aware of the workaround.
It should also be noted that you'll still be running 6.21 or 6.22, so any changes to the client itself will still be in effect and some of the minor cosmetic changes, (such as borders and colour schemed), will still be present too, but fundamentally it will look and work like previous versions.
Admin's: please feel free to pin this topic if a great deal of people find it helpful, I definately think that others would be happy with this help.
Solved!

There's also a really useful blog article that summarizes how you can tweak the new layout: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/11/13/getting-to-grips-with-the-2014-skype-layout/

I just upgraded to version 6.22.0.107. My chat window for IMs now has blue text on a lighter blue background. Now some of us are old and decrepit and find this difficult to see. Is there a way to change the chat area text back to black on a white background?
Currently there's no option to deactivate the blue chat bubble background, but we've heard the feedback from quite a few users and are looking into how we can improve the readability.

Re: Keyboard problems after upgrade to Windows 8 Pro

I have an HP Media Center Desktop PC, about 3 years old, with a Logitech wired keyboard. I had no problems at all until I upraded to Windows 8 64 bit from Vista. After a period of inactivity (anywhere from a half hour to several hours) the keyboard ceases to function. Nothing I type appears on the screen. It's as if I had disconnected the keyboard. It happens in any application, even the user login. I have no issue with the mouse. That's a wireless HP mouse.

Welcome to HP's forum. Please post your computer's information so we can direct you to the right software and drivers. Example ; HP Touchsmart 600-1050 Windows 7 64 bit. Thank you frrw

Keyboard problems after upgrade to Windows 8 Pro

Model 610-1280qd
After updating, I find that my HP wireless keyboard that came with the computer, no longer allows me to use the number keys and special characters above the letters. Device manager shows 5 listings under the keyboard tab including a PS2 keyboard. Whats up with that? To enter numbers, I have to move to the numeric keypad. If I need a special character, I have to enter it by using the onscreen keyboard. Any suggestions? The other listings all have to do with a Microsoft IR keyboard. So, is this a Microsoft keyboard driver issue or an HP keyboard driver issue?
This question was solved.

Hello Ken1766
Are you using IE10 in the Metro UI or on the Desktop? Try using it in the opposite interface and see if the problem persists.
IE10 is in the directory C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Let me know if both experience the same problem.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

I cannot do the 'all in one click' feature on Farm Town Gift Links. Can you tell me whats wrong? this occurred after upgrading to 5.0.

I upgraded to 5.0 and now I can't take advantage of the 'all in one click' feature.
