Keyboard layout variant resets after reboot [work-arounded]
Keyboard layout variant resets after reboot [work-arounded]
This problem occurs in all Puppy distros I've tried.
Description:
1. I got fresh Puppy frugal installation (in this case Tahr 6.0)
2. Open XKB Configuration Manager
3. Add Bulgarian layout (it adds Bulgarian BDS layout variant as default)
4. Change layout variant to phonetic (instead of default BDS)
5. Setup alt+shift keyboard shortcut to switch groups
6. Everything works perfectly
7. Shutdown, saving to a pup-save file.
After the system boots I got again Bulgarian BDS layout variant instead of Bulgarian phonetic I picked and saved last time.
Work-around:
After system boots, I go to XKB Configuration Manager and hit the layout variants button (it says the current layout variant is "phonetic bg: Phonetic", but actually it's the default Bulgarian BDS). I remove the phonetic layout variant, then add it again and everything runs properly.

keyboard layout variant
Maybe this might help you: Keyboard issues and solutions ?
Re: keyboard layout variant
I already tried to work it around with xorg.conf, but unfortunately, it didn't help. After rebooting the system or restarting the X, xorg.conf keeps the settings (see below), but the Bulgarian phonetic variant is not activated.L18L wrote:Maybe this might help you: Keyboard issues and solutions ?
Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102" #xkbmodel0
Option "XkbLayout" "us,bg" #xkeymap0
#Option "XkbVariant" ",phonetic" #xkbvariant0
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

Have you done the Tahrpup update?I got fresh Puppy frugal installation (in this case Tahr 6.0)
Quickpet->Info->Tahrpup updates
Is this a frugal install on a partition Windows also uses?
If yes, this can cause the save file to be fragmented and it will have problems.
Defrag using Windows defrag program.
Make a new save file.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Puppy installed on the primary ext2 partition (only for Puppy Tahr), all bugfixes installed + Tahr 6.0 to Tahr 6.0.2 service pack. This problem occurs in all Puppy distros I've tried (Slacko Puppy, Precise Puppy). Same happens if I install Puppy on a flash stick, so I guess it's kind of bug.bigpup wrote: Have you done the Tahrpup update?

Whatever... I made a work-around, adding following line:
Code: Select all
exec /usr/local/apps/XkbConfigurationManager/XkbApplyNow
Good to see you fixed it.
I am going to report this in the Tahrpup bug topic for the developer to see.

Same problem wit Xenial
I have exactely the same problem with my Xenial 32 install on USB. @Phil666 please the same repair for Xenial too?
Here is the script file from Tahrpup.
Remove the .gz from the name
(had to add that to the name to get it to post in the forum)
Place it in /root/startup
Reboot
Does it work for you?
