| Message-ID | <wWyyl-5CO-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hello, I just installed debian 9 on my laptop. I encrypted the disk, so I have to type a keyphrase before accessing the data on the disk. I also have a user account and have to type my password to log in. I have been trying to set the french bepo keyboard, instead of the default azerty one. I followed the instruction from this link : https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard From this point, when I had to type my password to decrypt the disk, I had to type in azerty, but when I had to log in my user account, I had to type the password with the bepo keyboard. And then, once logged in, the keyboard was set back to the classic french azerty layout again. So I tried the commands given in the first answer here : https://superuser.com/questions/646425/permanently-change-default-language-and-keyboard-settings-what-am-i-missing Now, when I power on my computer, I have to type the decrypt password in bepo as well as my log in password, but once logged in, the layout is still set back to the azerty layout. How can I force the layout to stay consistent once logged in my user account ? Thank you for your time and help. redmood

At this point your desktop environment has taken over. Perhaps it has a life of its own and is ignoring the system's default setting (note that this still might make sense, since perhaps different users on the same system may want different keyboard layouts). > How can I force the layout to stay consistent once logged in my user > account ? What desktop environment are you using? Cheers -- tomás

Hi.. Do you have a(n) Fn key that comes into play at all? I'm on an older ASUS 1015px (looks like a happy little Valentine card, grin). I just in the last couple hours rsync'ed over a newly debootstrap'ed Stretch to it. Hadn't done that in a LONG time. Means everything is nice and shiny new. BUT.. It's currently not recognizing my LAN wired network so I'm rebooting in and out while searching the Internet for answers then going back in to try to fix things... EVERY TIME I boot back in, I don't get letters, I get numbers when I click those particular keys in the middle of the keyboard. It was obvious that the Fn function had been triggered somehow. I seriously thought the dogs did it... the FIRST time it happened. The immediate fix for THAT is to hit my Fn key along with the numlock one at the end of the top row. A painless pain... :) Rerunning "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" didn't change the outcome on the next couple reboots... I'm not in there right now, but my uname is similar to "Linux northpole 4.9.0-6-amd64" with a date that was maybe May of this year? That version's older, SERIOUSLY frazzled, borked, mangled sister here (4.9.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.2-2 2017-01-12 x86_64) is working fine for both recognizing the LAN network AND not touching my Fn key on every reboot. There are some 390+ packages currently on Developer inspired hold in my old botched system here. Dpkg is on hold, but things like locales and console-setup are not. Wonder if one of the ones on hold for this older setup is the offender that found its way into the shiny new version where no packages are currently on Developer hold... OR NOT. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *

*Whoops!* The mangled one that's working is *BUSTER*, not Stretch. Just realized that as I ran another "apt-get update". That's comparing apples and oranges in that case with respect to 1 1/2 to ~2-year-old Buster's keyboard working while shiny new Stretch's is being a tiny bit flaky. Sorry about that. :) On 11/21/18, Cindy-Sue Causey <butterflybytes@gmail.com> wrote: > On 11/21/18, redmood <red-contact@riseup.net> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I just installed debian 9 on my laptop.
