 Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2016 12:09 am Post subject: How can I change keymap in OpenRC |
 |
|
Hi everybody, I'd like to know how to change the keymap but without rebooting. If possible, a command, because I wanna include it in a bash script.
Thanks! |

In X environment, setxkbmap xy and in console I think its loadkeys xy. With systemd I think its localectl xy.
Is this what you were looking for? |

What about the rc service?
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/keymaps stop
# /etc/init.d/keymaps start |

I do not want to run the setxkbmap manually each time. In which file is this saved?

Depends on what WM or DE you use. In KDE / Gnome / XFce the option should be saved automatically. In openbox / i3 / bspwm etc you usually have an autostart script, or you start somewhere in the config file. |

For console: /etc/conf.d/keymaps.
For X11: In xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d:
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
| Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection |
WMs/DEs should stick with that if not otherwise configured.

Or use a keyboard layout switcher. |

Unfortunately, it does not work yet. It also occurs that the manual temporary change over setxkbmap de is disabled again after some time. I have adapted the files. Please take a look.
| Code: | # Use keymap to specify the default console keymap. There is a complete tree
# of keymaps in /usr/share/keymaps to choose from.
keymap="de"
# Should we first load the 'windowkeys' console keymap? Most x86 users will
# say "yes" here. Note that non-x86 users should leave it as "no".
# Loading this keymap will enable VT switching (like ALT+Left/Right)
# using the special windows keys on the linux console.
windowkeys="YES"
# The maps to load for extended keyboards. Most users will leave this as is.
extended_keymaps=""
#extended_keymaps="backspace keypad euro2"
# Tell dumpkeys(1) to interpret character action codes to be
# from the specified character set.
# This only matters if you set unicode="yes" in /etc/rc.conf.
# For a list of valid sets, run `dumpkeys --help`
dumpkeys_charset=""
# Some fonts map AltGr-E to the currency symbol instead of the Euro.
# To fix this, set to "yes"
fix_euro="NO"
|
| Code: |
less /etc/X11less /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

Does X11 actually load the layout? Please post the result of
| Code: | | grep -i xkb /var/log/Xorg.0.log |

Megver83,
The console is controlled by /etc/conf.d/keymaps
| Code: | # Use keymap to specify the default console keymap. There is a complete tree
# of keymaps in /usr/share/keymaps to choose from.
# keymap="uk"
keymap="dvorak-uk" |
The default when Xorg loads comes from /etc/X11/xorg.conf or a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "xkblayout" "gb"
# comment out the next line if you don't have a dvorak keyboard
Option "xkbvariant" "dvorak"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
# why "pc102"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
EndSection
|
Your DE/WM may change it when it loads too. The above works for Xfce4

InputDevice has been deprecated for InputClass (alas we have lost the excellent xorg upgrade guide while switching doc to wiki).
I'm also unsure if a keyboard will always get event1
Here's mine that do really work (it aim to match all keyboards connect), just change layout to your needs.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/97evdev.conf
| Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "AutoServerLayout" "on"
EndSection

That shows the layout is loaded at X11 start time. Something else is changing it back after that.

For your bootloader use this:
| Code: | | linux ... keymap=de ... |
I use i3wm. In my config file i use => setxkbmap de
| Code: | roman@ASUS-G75VW ~ $ grep de .i3/config
# Please see http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference!
exec setxkbmap de
|
That works with openrc + eudev + bare minimum components. |

Itś done. - In gnome its in the configmenu set.
But now i found an other information: the error only in gnome exist. In fluxbox itś all right. In .xinitrc i set "exec setxkbmap de" . Only in gnome - are you new idea?
EDIT: another error:
| Code: | neueKiste ~ # localectl | grep "System Locale"
Could not get properties: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
