Fedora :: Fc11 NX Keyboard Layout Broken - Unresponsive
Jan 29, 2010
* When connecting to a host using NX (nomachine), the keyboard layout is wrong, Down arrow is enter, delete is print screen making it difficult to work.
* Gnome keyboard interface appears to do nothing when options are changed, works in fc10.
* Trying to changed the keyboard options originally crashed the nx connection, untill I murdered bug buddy who was the culprit in that issue.
In fc10 you could change options and see a result, not so in fc11, why ?

Got a little problem with my keyboard layout (de -- German; all variants). Everything worked fine until a few days ago. I noticed that the tilde (usually accessible via [AltGr]+[+]) doesn't work any more. What it shows instead is the "bracketright". Even worse, almost every AltGr combination seems to have changed -- the brackets enclosing AltGr and + in the former sentence were achieved by "AltGR"+"�" (left) and "AltGr"+"+" (right). Here's what gnome-keyboard-properties looks like, when I select any German keyboard layout -- minus "insert", "delete", ... and the num block:
Not only has the tilde disappeared from its regular position, it can't be found anywhere on the keyboard. This holds true from the login screen to the regular workspace. Switching to tty1..6 or booting up a VM, everything works fine. I didn't touch anything which affects the keyboard layout -- or is dpgk-reconfigure fontconfig doing something like this? ^^

Running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, GNOME 2.3Keyboard Preferences utilityAdding any Spanish language keyboard layout makes my Alt_R not work in ANY layout! I see that it changes Alt_R to "Iso_L..." for all/both layouts, including USA layout. When I click "Reset to Defaults" it's fine again, USA layout shows Alt_R again. I've tried all the variants of the Latin American layout and the Spain layout and they all do the same thing.What is "ISO_L..." and what's going on?i DESPERATELY need my Alt_R to work!

I have installed opensuse 11.3 a couple of weeks ago in 2 computers and both suffer of the same problem.In my asus laptop, i have a german keyboard. It is correctly recogniced as german keyboard by ev-dev, i guess. (ev-dev managed). But i need to write some spanisch symbols too, like accents (á © í ³ ? ñ¬ ·hich in a normal linux, they do work. For some reason, after rebooting, or after some time of having it running, the keyboard layout resets to an invalid setup, here accents get not over the letter (?a ?e ?i ?o ?u), so i have to select my layout again in the gnome control center.
With my other computermore or less the same.Its a desktop PC with an spanisch keyboard. But i thinck i picked German keyboard during installation and now it starts always with german with some sort of 5 secs delay when setting it. I have to pick spanisch and i always delete the german layout, but after some time having it running, it resets to the previusly deleted german layout.

My problem is that I use a awful lot of characters. I do math which means I want to be able to type Greek letters and mathematical symbols, and I also want to be able to type Polish and Russian characters. I figure for Cyrillic I should just make a separate layout since I wouldn't want to type with one hand on some special key all the time anyway. What I would like to do would be to use the right alt for Polish and math symbols (there are enough keys to go around) and use a different shortcut for Greek letters, preferably not involving switching layouts.
I know only a very small bit about how xkb works (I at least know where the layout files are, what each key is called, and how to do trivial manipulations, but that's it) and none of the tutorials i could find were very informative about what I need to know.
One stupid, hopefully easy problem is that I do not know how to input math characters because I do not know their names (for characters like integral, less than or equal to, direct sum, etc) or if/how I can put in Unicode ids or something of that nature.
The other thing is that I don't know how to set up a separate key combination (say right-alt - backslash) to use Greek letters.

I have a little problem when I restart my computer, the keyboard layout restart and get back to the default USA keyboard. Even if I delete it it's still back after the reboot. Maybe there a file that I can edit to get my default Canada setting to stay.Also, another problem that have been discussed thousand time before, I tried to add a drive to fstab without success, here what my fstab look like:Quote:

# /etc/fstab

This problem has been discussed a couple of times here and there and there are numerous solutions as well as unsolved stories. The topic says it all I think. I use ca(fr) layout, and in the gnome keyboard configuration (system, preferences, keyboard) I only leave Canada. When I log out and go back in, the layout changes to USA and in the configuration tool, theres canada AND usa. I have to delete USA every time. The file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard is already set to ca(fr) and doesn't change
I tried to delete:
rm -f /var/cache/gdm/your-username/.dmrc
rm -f ~/.dmrc
but I either did miss something or it didn't work. The only thing I observed is that if I set the keyboard layout to Ca(fr) at the login screen (which is always set back to USA), the layout stays to ca(fr) in my session. This problem did not occur on Fedora 11 and it began on 12 on my laptop as well as on my girlfriend's.
I've read somewhere and I forgot where, that it is a known bug in Gnome and that it is fixed in a later version. I applied all available updates and system/about this computer says I have Gnome 2.28.0 and if I recall, this bug is supposedly fixed in 2.28.4 but I may be wrong on the version number. This is very annoying as we try to turn our computers off when we don't use them but this reset every login kind of forces us to our previous bad habits.

I'm searching for a tool that can show current keyboard layout in GNOME tray panel. As I reminded there was such tool for KDE, but at this time I'm using GNOME and it's a really problem to find such stuff. Is there any tool for GNOME (showing keyboard layout tray icon) like in KDE?

I use a Dvorak keyboard. I recently installed F13, and the layout is correct in the console an after logging in, but at the login screen, it goes to QWERTY. I've tried all of the settings in the GUI configurators; all of those are set right. There is no xorg.conf; so, I can't change it that way.

I have this (Norwegian) keyboard layout on a HP Mini 1000 (came with US keyboard). But I can't seem to find the combination to get the ">" (or "<" for that matter) symbol/char. Anyone out there know the combination so I can finally use my netbook for other things than just simple browsing?

I'm new to linux, been using fedora 12 for about a week. I just noticed a problem with my keyboard layout. When i press the key with the backslash and pipe character, i get < for backslash and > for the pipe character. I have tried the following to fix the problem:
1.$ gnome-keyboard-properties then selected the proper keyboard model (Asus Laptop) tried adding different keyboard layouts and setting them as default nothing i did there made any difference.I am currently using USA, i have tried Canada English, USA international, and more I noticed that even when i change it to something like Afganistan, there is no noticable different when i type in the test area. I notice that there are keyboard layouts that have < and > where the backslash and pipe character should be, but the picture for USA shows the pipe and backslash where they should be.

I used to have F9 on my HP pavilion dv8000. I have been trying to install F10 (and even CentOS 5.3) on it and, during the installation process, when I choose the keyboard layout (english) it doesn't go on. Weird because I am using the same disk I successfully used to install F10 on my desktop. What could it be? The same problem happens when I make the installation process in text mode...

Problem: When my screen saver kicks in after idle timeout and I get back to my desktop the keyboard is unresponsive in already opened applications with text fields. This happens with and without the password required after screen saver is engaged. This doesn't happen all the time and seems to be transient. It happens at least once a day, but not often.
Workaround: The mouse is still usable, so I open a terminal and hit a few keystrokes. The keyboard is now responsive and I can go back to typing in the open applications that I previously had open prior to the screen saver being engaged.

This just started happening recently on an older install of Linux Mint 9, 32 bit, Gnome with Compiz using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.
I noticed another problem about the same time and I don't know if it is related but now when I restart I get the "default keyring login" pop up message. The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for at least 60-90 seconds after everything has opened. It only recently started to do this and is not a result of old/slower hardware.
I don't know where to start looking for a cause or what section to post this in.

The layout is broken, seems to be plain html, images appear to be broken (even on LQ forums - some of the gifs return broken with 'Website not available'). The problem seems to be on a lot of sites for me, including ......com, wordpress.com and lots of other sites. On LQ only the gifs seem to be broken. Also, it may be related - irssi cant connect to irc.freenode.net (instant 'cant resolve') but I can ping irc.freenode.net and connect to the resolved node (ie gibson.freenode.net).
I can ping those sites with decent pings and pretty much no lost packets. Forcing (super-refresh) refreshing the sites or simply lots of refreshes don't work - the issue seems to be permanent, not just some lost packets with CSS in them. I dont use any proxy, tried firefox 4, chrome 12, opera 10.5, disabled all browser plugins, cleared cookies and caches (the ones under about:cache in firefox). The same problem appears on Ubuntu 11.4 and Fedora 15 on the same Dell D420 laptop (core duo 1.2 ghz, 2 gb ram, 60 gigs drive and some broadcom/intel wifi card), on two different ISPs located about 70 miles apart.
EDIT: The layout on those forums seems to be broken too. And the 'edit' button also. :> Also, on other PC, desktop one connected via ethernet, same ISP/router, ubuntu 10.4, there's no problem with those sites.

I'm using F13 + Fluxbox and enter into runlevel 3 ( console) at startup. My gb keyboard is correctly mapped, however. when I run fluxbox and open up a terminal I lose this "gb" layout and have to use the setxkbmap command to correct it. First thoughts were that there could be something wrong with my xorg.conf file. Here is the relevant section :Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"

I installed Ubuntu 11.04.
how to set the keyboard layout.
I keep using the rescue cd because whenever I choose a keyboard layout the system does not seem to keep it like that.
After rebooting it loads another layout and I can't find which keys to type in that unknown layout. So for the moment, my password is 'tt' because I know it will work in both layout.
I have a belgium azerty keyboard. For the moment the upper option in the keyboard layout screen is USA and the lower option is Belgium. Which is weird since I thought that the upper option was of higher priority. But at least it works like that. At least until I reboot I think
PS: the rescue cd has also a keyboard layout problem. I chose belgium and I end up with a usa layout.

I use 2 keyboard layouts. But when I change setting from the YaST interface in KDE, setting save only for the short time (may be some hours). Then I can't switch between layouts and have to use YaST again. What is it?
