Public bug reported:
I have a French keyboard, and I have generated a GRUB keyboard file with
following command :
# grub-kbdcomp -o /boot/grub/layouts/fr_oss.gkb fr oss
Then inside GRUB2 command line interface, following commands are accepted, but
GRUB2 still handles my USB keyboard as 'en_us' :
insmod keylayouts
keymap fr_oss
I order to reproduce this bug :
- You need any keyboard which is NOT 'en_us',
- You can put following code in '/etc/grub.d/40_custom', issue 'sudo
update-grub', then reboot :
KEYBOARD_GRUB_FOLDER="/boot/grub/layouts"
KEYBOARD_LAYOUT="$(setxkbmap -query | grep -i '^ *layout *:' | sed -e 's/^
*layout *: *//i')"
KEYBOARD_VARIANT="$(setxkbmap -query | grep -i '^ *variant *:' | sed -e
's/^ *variant *: *//i')"
KEYBOARD_SPEC="$KEYBOARD_LAYOUT"_"$KEYBOARD_VARIANT"
KEYBOARD_PATH="$KEYBOARD_GRUB_FOLDER/$KEYBOARD_SPEC.gkb"
grub-kbdcomp -o "$KEYBOARD_PATH" "$KEYBOARD_LAYOUT" "$KEYBOARD_VARIANT"
2>&1 | \
grep -v '^Unknown keyboard scan ' > /dev/stderr
if [ -f "$KEYBOARD_PATH" ]; then
echo "# Try to tell GRUB to use the adequate keyboard layout"
echo "insmod keylayouts"
echo "keymap $KEYBOARD_SPEC"
fi
