<PRE>Hi....
Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with end-of-term festivals in
my children' schools ;)...
>><i>
</I>>>><i> - keyboard layout under Gnome got reset to English (from Spanish).
</I>>>><i> Changed manually under
</I>>>><i> system settings and fine again.
</I>>><i>
</I>
One addtional problem is that GDM starts with english keyboard which
is a problem for passwords with non alpha-num chars... :).
>><i> Interesting. Does this new setting survive a reboot? Does the new
</I>>><i> mapping work at the system level (i.e. is the layout respected in GDM)?
</I>
Yep, the setting survives a reboot for the user that changed it, but
as I said above it does not change GDM settings. I did not try to do it
with system tools, just user preferences.
And keymap is OK in virtual consoles.
>><i>
</I>>><i> Do you have a /etc/vconsole.conf file?
</I>
Nop, I have not. I think system settings were in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.
><i>
</I>><i> OK, so I don't really understand why it's broken. I think it's maybe a
</I>><i> regression in that X is no longer inheriting settings from the console,
</I>><i> but I think longer term this is a valid thing (maybe there will not be a
</I>><i> console to inherit from in the future?)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So, it seems that systemd-localed will write an Xorg snippet into
</I>><i> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf when the keyboard is set. Thus
</I>><i> your setting of it via the Gnome System Settings will have written this
</I>><i> file (can you confirm it exists?) and it will remain there for the
</I>><i> remaining boots.
</I>
This file does not exist in my box, I just used user prefs to change
the map, not sytem ones.
><i>
</I>><i> Longer term, we need to make sure the installer runs this daemon for
</I>><i> fresh installs. And perhaps we should run it on upgrade automatically
</I>><i> too to ensure it's written as needed.
</I>><i>
</I>
I will try to write an /etc/vconsole.conf and see if it works.
Perhaps the fix is just to write it from /etc/syscofig/keyboard...
