Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
I tested the latest alpha release because of the input-hotplug stuff (and possible problems) mentioned here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha6 What I found is that the keyboard did not work out of the box but that I can get it to work properly (on GNOME), but not if I follow the official instructions. Here's what I did: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup Keyboard model: Evdev-managed keyboard Origin of the keyboard: Germany Keyboard layout: Germany - Eliminate dead keys AltGr key replacement: Right Alt Compose key: No compose key Encoding: UTF-8 # Latin1 and Latin5 - western Europe and Turkic languages Console font: VGA 16 The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the evdev- managed keyboard model, do I need to set this here too? The rest should be fine. In GNOME I set "evdev managed keyboard" and the layout "Germany eliminate dead keys". Result: some keys not working. Those include ^, ~, `, '. I first thought the 3rd level modifier was not working but I could use @ and €, and ^ is first level for example. So I experimented a bit and found when I set the keyboard to the 105intl one instead of generic- evdev it works perfectly in GNOME. On the console however, it does not. I cannot type ^ or ~ or @ or €. The 3rd level modifier seems to be completely dead. Well, sometimes it even moves the cursor one character to the left before it inserts the 1st level character of a given key (for ~ I get <left>"+" for example). I have tried some other settings but have not yet found one that works correctly on the console. Please first take a look at my console-setup config above and clarify if "Evdev-managed keyboard" is the right model. ** Affects: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Evdev keyboard setting not working correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277034 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
