[Solved] Wrong keymap

Hi everyone!

I am quite new to using Arch linux, but have been trying to figure out how to install it on and off the past month or so. And finally made it today, so I have been in a config file or two more then have been needed.

But n to my question. I have set the keymap in the vconsole.conf file but this seems to not work in my case.

This is in /etc/vconsole.conf

 KEYMAP=no-latin1 

when I set the keymap in the installation proccess this worked fine, but when I now are in my new setup I only have the default US keymap.

I have also checked the setxkbmap in the console and it desplays this ;

 Setting verbose level to 10 
locale is C 
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev... 
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev... 
Success. 
Applied rules from evdev: 
rules: evdev 
model: pc105 
layout: no-latin1 
Trying to build keymap using the following components: 
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty) 
types: complete 
compat: complete 
symbols: pc+no-latin1+inet(evdev) 
geometry: pc(pc105) 
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
	xkb_types { include "complete" };
	xkb_compat { include "complete" };
	xkb_symbols { include "pc+no-latin1+inet(evdev)" };
	xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

I cannot see what is wrong. Can someone help me out?

Re: [Solved] Wrong keymap

What's the output of `localectl`.

Also, please edit the title to something more descriptive.

Re: [Solved] Wrong keymap

The output of 'localectl' is;

   System Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: no-latin1
      X11 Layout: no-latin1

Re: [Solved] Wrong keymap

May be it helps:
You have to differentiate between two types of console:
    (a) A console when you haven't X.  --> loadkeys and vconsole.conf
        https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … in_console
    (b] With X. A terminal launched from a graphical environemt -->  setxkbmap
        https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … on_in_Xorg

Re: [Solved] Wrong keymap

Well without X or outside X I use loadkeys if my keymap are not right, yes. but is set at this moment by vconsole.conf.
In X i have configured it to work as seen in the setxkbmap print above. But somwhere it must have gone wrong.

I am not very familliar with X as I just got it to run, but have been configuring it for some weeks to try getting it to work.

I have not found any help to my problem in other forums or guides.

Re: [Solved] Wrong keymap

"no-latin1" is no valid xkb layout - it's "no".
There're some variants, look into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no

Re: [Solved] Wrong keymap

Thank you seth!

When i edited my /etc/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file from "no-latin1" to "no" it fixed the problem.

Now my setup is complete...for a day or two atleast, when i want to configure it more.
