|
|
Hello, I'm new to gentoo and am having an annoying problem. Whenever I boot I am asked to select a default keyboad layout. It does eventually default to us anyway but it slows the boot process. How can I fix this. |

otisrea,
Welcome to Gentoo.
How did you do your Gentoo install?
Normally you would edit /etc/conf.d/keymaps for the console keyboard and xorg.conf, or a file in xorg.conf.d for the GUI keyboard.
Which keymap do you want to change? _________________ Regards,

Not exactly sure which one it is. Whichever is responsible at boot before there is a gui, just text scrolling. |

otisrea,
That will be /etc/conf.d/keymaps.
However, prompting for a keyboard layout is not normal behaviour for a Gentoo install, which gets back to how did you do your Gentoo install? _________________ Regards,

Well actually it is sabayon and was installed using their installer. This behavior didn't start until after an update. I have no idea what was changed. |

Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Unsupported Software.
Sabayon is different enough from Gentoo that we don't want to mislead Gentoo users.
Edit the file /etc/conf.d/keymaps you should be able to follow the comments.
If Sabyon has switched to systemd, that file may not exist and I can't help with systemd based systems. _________________ Regards,
