X11 Keyboard Settings Not Applied on Boot

I'm having problems setting my keyboard layout on boot in X11 using Xorg.conf.d. Specifically, I would like to set the default X keyboard to be Programmer Dvorak on boot with the caps:swapescape option on. I have followed the instructions on the Wiki for setting the default X keyboard; however, on boot the caps:swapescape option is applied but otherwise the layout is the standard US QWERTY layout. Setting the keyboard manually using the following command always works:
setxkbmap us -variant "dvp" -option "caps:swapescape
Here is the relevant Xorg.conf.d (10-keyboard.conf) file:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "dvp"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:swapescape"
EndSection
The other thing that is strange is that the output of setxkbmap doesn't change between boot (incorrect keymap) and when the keymap is set manually.
$ setxkbmap -query -print -verbose 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules: evdev
model: evdev
layout: us
variant: dvp
options: caps:swapescape
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us(dvp)+inet(evdev)+capslock(swapescape)
geometry: pc(pc104)
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us(dvp)+inet(evdev)+capslock(swapescape)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
rules: evdev
model: evdev
layout: us
variant: dvp
options: caps:swapescape
Any pointers in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated.

I remember having had the same issue with Gnome which ignores the settings in Xorg.d completely. I would assume the same for Xfce although not for WMFS.
Does this help?

[solved][laptop-mode-tools] hard drive power settings not applied

I've used the laptop-mode-tools now for quite some time. However, recently the power management settings are not applied anymore. Possibly since updating to systemd...
My laptop-mode.conf looks as follows:
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1
# Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=254
LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
However, even after doing a systemctl restart laptop-mode-tools.service I always get
$ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 96
Setting it manually works:
$ sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)
APM_level = 254
$ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 254
Of course, the settings are lost upon rebooting in this case.
Any idea where the problem could be?

I apologize if it is bad style to answer to a post marked as [solved] but:
Same problem here!
HDParm-settings are not applied on boot by LMT.
laptop-mode.conf:
# Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive power management settings?
# Set to 0 to disable
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto"
# Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=100
LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=200
NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
# hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 96
Any ideas or solutions on this so far?
And why is this post marked as 'solved'?
edit:
1.) manual set hdparm-settings survive reboot but not suspend!
2.) no difference between CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto" or "1"
3.)
# systemctl status laptop-mode
laptop-mode.service - Laptop Mode Tools
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/laptop-mode.service; enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Do 2013-01-24 14:05:20 CET; 8min ago
Process: 664 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/laptop_mode init auto (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
4.) pointed out that this seems to be a bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33262 as systemd does not restore apm values on wake up.

My keyboard is not responsive upon booting up my iMac

I powered down my iMac for one day. Upon booting up, my mouse and keyboard do not communicate with the screen. How do I fix this?

Hello:
Sorry, it is short for system management controller.
You reset it like this:

That sometimes fixes odd problems. It cannot hurt anything to reset the SMC.

User Group Policy Settings not applied to new user profiles at first logon

Good Afternoon,
We have an issue that occurs to a new user when they first log on to their machines. They log on and a new profile creates from the Default User Profile. We can see that a number of our Group Policy Settings applied as "User Configuration" are
not applying.A log off and back on is required before the policies apply.
Any thoughts to this behaviour please?
Regards

Hi,
How about your problem now? How many system encounter this problem? Is all policy couldn't be applied? Is there any feedback when using gpresult to check policy applied status?
As Group Policy applies after user identity authentication, generally speaking, user logoff and back doesn't helpful with this problem.
When this problem occures, have you checked event log if it identify this problem?

Ie11 administrative template settings not applied

2008 R2 domain with mostly windows 7 clients running ie8. upcoming project to upgrade them to ie11.
I copied the inetres.admx and inetres.adml files from the PolicyDefinitions folder on a windows 8.1 PC with ie11 and pasted them into the central store.
I created a new GPO that configures "access data across domains" to "disabled" from user configuration/policies/administrative templates/windows components/internet explorer/internet control panel/security page/internet zone.
I logged into four test machines with the same user account.
windows 7 with ie8
windows 7 with ie9
windows 8 with ie10
windows 8.1 with ie11
all four machines show this setting correctly Disabled with my GPO as the winning GPO in RSOP, but *only* the ie8 machine properly shows this setting as Disabled in its Internet Settings. the ie9, ie10, and ie11 machines all have the setting Enabled in their
Internet Settings.
full disclosure: there is an old-school Internet Explorer Maintenance GPO in place that sets this to Enabled. but in theory, that GPO should only affect the ie8 and ie9 machines, right? and yet the ie8 machine is the only one getting the correct
setting from my new administrative template GPO.
is there an easy way in GPMC to tell if i'm actually working with the ie11 version of inetres.admx or not? some setting that's new for this version?

ARRRGHHH!!!
found it. *somebody* set up a Computer Settings GPO applying these same administrative template IE settings to all workstations. I'm going to guess this GPO was set up prior to my arrival at this job in 2005 because I don't remember doing it, and
it would never have occurred to me to put these settings on the machine side--as evidenced by the fact that i've only been looking at the user side in RSOP during this whole thread. the IE settings in this machine GPO also match up with the settings
in the old IEM GPO we've been using, so it appeared as though IEM was configuring everything.
thanks everybody for your time and your help.

AcroRead.mst settings not applied in installation

Hello,
I downloaded Adobe reader 11, dutch (AdbeRdr11000_nl_NL.exe) and extracted it:
AdbeRdr11000_nl_NL.exe -nos_oc:\temp\temp1\files\2 -nos_ne
Then I opened the .MSI file with the Adobe customization wizard and changed some settings (Eula, updates etc).
After that I saved it and AcroRead.mst was created.
Then on the client (logged in as Administrator) I copied all the files in c:\temp and entered:
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" /quiet
Adobe reader gets installed and I can open it but the changes from the customization wizard are NOT applied.
When I start adobe, I get the EULA and the product updates are still configured as automatic.
I tried with other settings and full path names like these:
msiexec.exe /i "c:\temp\adobe\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="c:\temp\adobe\AcroRead.mst" /quiet
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /quiet
msiexec.exe /i /qn AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst
msiexec.exe /i "AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /q TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
But the result is the same, Adobe reader is installed but without the changed settings.
Could someone help with this please ?
I don't know anymore what to do.
thanks.

Copy the examples from http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/cmdline.html#command-line-exa mples so that you don't have to try random cmd lines. For example, quotes are only used around property params.
Enable logging, and if you still have problems, post you cmd line and log.

Connection settings not applied

We have a X60s that has configured several connection profiles. On the wireless broadband it is not applying the network settings correctly. We have set WINS-server, lmhosts and Netbios in the adapter and the profile to the correct settings. But when it connects it removes all this settings from the adapter. Other settings like printers are applyed correctly.

Keyboard input not working at boot

Hello --
I don't get keyboard input for ~30 seconds at boot, and I'm not sure why. I'm using a hand-rolled kernel with no initrd, though when I use the stock Arch kernel with initrd it does the same thing. According to my kernel logs, the keyboard is recognized before the root filesystem is mounted (and it appears to be PS2, not USB), and from reading the rc scripts, little or nothing happens after the ttys are started.
udev starts before the root fs is mounted, and when root is fscked at boot, I don't encounter this problem. Therefore I think udev is at fault. Via I can't find any information on telling udev to deal with the keyboard earlier.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Other than putting "sleep 30" in my rc scripts, that is.

Sorry, I wasn't being very clear.
I'm using a laptop, and lsusb doesn't report anything except the buses themselves. Therefore I concluded that my keyboard is not a USB keyboard, as I mentioned above.
This is booting to a tty console, not to X, so it can't be a KDE issue. And I have full control of my keyboard with GRUB; it's just the kernel that hesitates to acknowledge its existence.

Update: if I use a USB extender it works! This is really strange....

Keyboard & trackpad not active when booted!

Got a white 2.0GHz Intel Core2Duo 13" with 1GB RAM and OS 10.5.8.
The keyboard and trackpad are suddenly locked when the the machine is booted. The cursor is in the same place after restart - not movable - but not frozen either. Because when I insert a CD or DVD it autostart the respective item, and the cursor becomes the spinning beach ball for some seconds....iow. NOT frozen. None of the keyboard buttons will work except the on/off button. So I thought for a minute that the keyboard was physically shortcutted. But upon restart, I was able to run a PRAM reset (Alt-Cmd-R-P) - also ejecting a DVD, that would NOT eject when fully booted....
So it must be a software related problem. Or is it a "panel lock" or "key lock" function that I've activated accidentally???
Thanks for any input on this. I will in the meantime try to restart from the OS DVD.

Some additional info:
System profile tells me it's a MacBook 1,1 with a Intel Core Duo (not a Core2) - if it makes any difference.
Well, I booted up from a Leopard install DVD, and everything related to keyboard and trackpad works. Run Repair Disk Permissions, and Verify Disk - just when I'm at it!
Restart from internal disk again....Nope. No keyboard or mouse action....
Time the reinstall the complete OS perhaps.

Hide Display Settings not applied in User GPO

Hello,
I am trying to hide the display settings via a GPO so folks can't change the resolution. I set the "Disable the Display Control Panel" setting to enable, but users can still go to the Control Panel and change the display settings. Other parts of
the GPO are applying, like the Ctrl+Alt+Del settings. The GPO has the loopback function set to replace. From my understanding, that should force all user settings in that GPO on everyone who logs into the computer, whether they are in that OU or not.
Some settings apply, just not the Display settings. Is there something else I have to enable to get that working?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
It's been a while. How is it going? If it still doesn't work out, we can run command
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result to check this. Note: to collect computer part group policy settings, we need to run the command with administrative privileges.
In addition, regarding troubleshooting group policy issues, the following thread can be referred to as reference.

Int'l keyboard settings not saved during reboot

I have a G5 tower that I updated to Leopard. Generally, everything seems fine but there is one thing that is irritating:
I have US English set as my main keyboard, but I often switch to Japanese and Korean to insert a few characters. So, in my keyboard set up I have US English, Japanese, Korean and the the Character Palette.
After the Leopard update, whenever I have to reboot the system these settings are not saved and I have to go back in and add the various keyboard set ups. I want US English as the main keyboard, but after a reboot Japanese is the default.
Note: I bought the system in Japan a few years ago when I was based there.
Thank you for any advice/help.

It fixed itself somehow

Keyboard light not working on boot camp!

Hi
I received some updates for the Boot camp just recently, and since then the keyboard light doesn't turn on anymore when it gets dark! I'm working on the windows XP...
I feel i made a huge mistake accepting the update!!!!
has anyone encountered such problem?
Thanks

Have you tried manually turning it on?
Press the F8 button I believe to toggle the backlight
You may have accidentally switched it off or something
If that doesn't work, try F10 to brighten it just to see if it's working

ACR settings not applied to jpegs in Explorer?

I use Camera Raw in Bridge to batch edit photos which are jpegs. At the moment, when I make changes and click "done", the changes are applied to the photos in Bridge, but when I view them in Explorer, they are still in the original state.
Before I installed Windows 7, the above procedure would change the photos in Explorer as well as Bridge, is there any way to resolve my problem?
I have xml files disabled and are having changes saved in the ACR database, if that information helps.

The ACR edits are recorded in a text section within the jpeg, do not actually change the image pixels. Therefore, when viewed outside of ACR/Bridge/PS they appear as before the edits, since no other apps use the exif data.
To make this work, you need to "Save" out of ACR, creating new jpegs, which then incorprates the edits into the image pixels.
