[Solved] Racist keyboard layout.

[Fintan]

I have set my keyboard layout to swiss german sun keys and got rid of the US layout.

At reboot / boot my DT goes to US layout automaticly and I have to reinstate CH-german every time.

Slight pita.

Any one else?

Re: Racist keyboard layout.

What do you have in /etc/default/keyboard ?

Good one kubicle.

Havent looked there for a very long time.

Doesn't even exist on my maverick install

anyway:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

I will change it to ch.

Should have been done by sys settings or install.

Well we are talking alpha3 here

It's a new config for Natty.

Previously console-setup set the default console keyboard layout and xkb set the X keyboard layout, now /etc/default/keyboard should handle both defaults...it's still a bit rough around the edges, though.

That is putting in nicely, if you have to edit by hand

Anyway this works:

# If you change any of the following variables and X is configured to
# use this file, then the changes will become visible to X only if udev
# is restarted. You may need to reboot the system.

# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="ch"
XKBVARIANT="Deutsch,Sun-Akzenttasten"
XKBOPTIONS=""

# If you don't want to use the XKB layout on the console, you can
# specify an alternative keymap. Make sure it will be accessible
# before /usr is mounted.
# KMAP=/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz

Thanks
