Keyboard layout login screen

[TJ1986]

Dear,

I've some troubles with the keyboard layout on the login screen.
I'm using an AZERTY keyboard , it works well when logged in but on the login screen it is still a QWERTY keyboard instead of AZERTY.
Is it a well known problem?
How can I fix it?

Regards

What login manager do you use? Please check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Display_Managers for screenshots.

I'm using the standard display manager (KDM).
In openmandriva the keyboard layout of the desktop is automatically linked to the login screen isn't it like that in mageia?
Any solution please?

[doktor5000]

What Mageia version do you use, and what media did you use to isntall it? Is that a fresh installation, or any upgrade? Did you reuse an existing /home partition or imported your old settings?

[TJ1986]

I'm using Mageia 5, fresh install . no importations of old settings or /home directory.
I have fully erased the partition for mageia.

Nobody can help me?

You didn't answer what installation media you used.

Please show the outputs of

Code: Select all

cat /etc/locale.conf
cat /etc/vconsole.conf
cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

Please also provide information what language/locale and keyboard setting you have chosen in installer.

One easy workaround would be using another display manager in the meantime until this is fixed,
or configure autologin if you only have one user using that box.

Hi,

I used an USB with the full installation ( no live installation.
See hereunder please:

Code: Select all

[tb@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_BE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_BE.UTF-8:en_GB:en

[tb@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=be2-latin1
FONT=lat0-16
[tb@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
KEYTABLE=be2-latin1
KEYBOARD=be
XkbOptions=compose:rwin
XkbModel=pc105
XkbLayout=be

[tb@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*
# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "be"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection



I allready have used another DM but still have the same problem.

Hello

Can anybody find somethings unusual?

[isadora]

Please, don't push.

When someone is able to answer she or he surely will, be patient.

[doktor5000]

Looks all good. Expect maybe /etc/locale.conf which has british english and english as fallback languages, maybe it would be a try to adjust them to only show

Code: Select all

LANGUAGE=en_BE.UTF-8

Apart from that, the above means "english (belgium)" so that would imply it's based on an english layout, no?

[TJ1986]

It does nothing, still the same problem.
Do you guys do not have this problem?
I allready had it on mageia 1, in that time I was thinking it was a little beginning bug but still persist.

[doktor5000]

Nope, I don't have that issue, my normal german QWERTZ layout is used. Also never heard about such an issue with KDM in the past.

edit doktor5000:
FWIW, can you please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?

If that helps, I suggest to report that as a bug, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly
For completeness's sake and also to allow others to follow up on that bug report, please also post the link to it here in the thread, thanks.
