Hi Jörg,

yes, of course, but I guess, it does not content any usefull information, 
because I checked it 
before at the time the issue was active. 

There is no differnce to the actual state.

But anyway, here it is:

 snip 

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE 

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page. 

XKBMODEL="acer_laptop" 
XKBLAYOUT="de" 
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" 
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" 

BACKSPACE="guess"

--- snap ---

The entry "acer_laptop" worked always well, but I also tried "pc-105" during 
the time of the 
issue, which also did NOT work.

Best regards

Hans

You should look at the logs whether the messages are the same. In
the past, after wakeup, my laptop keyboard was sometimes seen as
"HID 413c:8157" and the mapping was correct, but most of the time,
it was seen as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" and the mapping was
incorrect.

[SOLVED] Re: After upgrade to bookworm: Keyboard layout

[Hans]

I am answering myself. Surprisingly the error is gone. But I do not know why! 


These were my last actions:
 
In my despair I added the repo of bullseye to the sources.list and downgraded

console-setup
console-setup-linux
keyboard-configuration

Those must be all together downgraded. After downloading and install I got a 
correct keyboard layout, but after reboot it was still back to "us". 

However, I then did "setupcon -k -f" , but got no success.

Then I did "loadkeys de" to get the correct keyboard layout and tried 
"setupcon -k -f" again. After reboot it shows no success again.

As these was no success at all, I upgraded the above packages again to 
bookworm and rebootet - still keyboard is "us".

But today, after I read the hint "try keyboard-setup.sh" and started my 
system, the keyboard layout was ok! 

NOTE: I did NOT excute "keyboard-setup.sh", as things were ok!!!

Doi not ask me why, maybe some dwarfs or some goblins did the job - do not 
know.

Sadly I have nothing learned with this issue, but I am happy it is working 
now.

Thanks for all  the help!

Best regards

Hans
