Hello, I have one final suggestion to try. I did this when NOTHING worked with getting sddm to work with KDE in /opt I created a .xsession file in my users home directory, and made it executable: #!/bin/bash exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session $KF5_PREFIX/bin/startkde Perhaps adding the command to change the keyboard layout would work within this file, as it is for graphical logins with a display manager: setxkbmap fr Regards, Christopher. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
