Please, how can I mark the topic as solved?
By editing the first post in this thread and preprending [SOLVED] to the title.
]]>you're probably setting the layout in some sddm or i3wm config.
Yeah, you were right!!!!!! The problem was in the i3 config file, now everything works, thanks!!!!!!! Please, how can I mark the topic as solved?
]]>layout: it
Again: ~/.Xresources are NOT supposed to run commands like a bash script - you're probably setting the layout in some sddm or i3wm config.
]]>That's the point: there is no "uk" layout. Most of todays UK use the "gb" layout.
I've corrected the .Xresources and the 00-keyboard files with layout "gb", but I still have no success.
The setxkbmap -query -v command reports as follows:
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+query+inet(evdev)
geometry: pc(pc105)
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: it
2) stat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/uk
I haven't the symbols folder...
]]>I misread your former comments (maybe because you're using the US locale), but the UK has no keyboard layout - Great Britain has ;-)

Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+query+inet(evdev)
geometry: pc(pc105)
Multiple definition keyboard layout... Interesting....
]]>loginctl session-status # to ensure this is actually an xorg session
setxkbmap -query -v
]]>localectl
System Locale: LANG= en_US.UTF-8
VC keymap: uk
X11 Layout: uk
X11 Model: pc105
The .Xresources file into the home directory is:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout uk
The 00-keyboard file
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "uk"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Maybe the problem is the wrong keyboard model?
