Re: Vrokem keymap after Jume 1st updates affectimg omly 3 keys

xev under wayland doesn't make a lot of sense and the vconsole keymap is for the console (ctrl+alt+f3)

Is the situation reflected w/ "sudo evtest" and is gnome on Xorg affected by this?
If evtest shows the same behavior, try a different kernel or (live) distro (eg. grml) - could actually be a hardware problem.

Re: Vrokem keymap after Jume 1st updates affectimg omly 3 keys

I apologize as this will probably sound mean, but that got a chuckle out of me, thank you smile

I don't know the solution, but maybe you can narrow it down more. Can you find a situation where the keys are *not* incorrect? I would try:

* If you have another keyboard, try connecting that in case this is specific to that device
* Does it happen in the Linux console? I think you can do Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or some other number) to get there.
* Does it happen in the Live ISO?
* Does it happen if you create a chroot and enter it?
* What happens if you change your keyboard layout, especially to a non Latin one that has all the letters moved around?

"sudo find / -daystart -mtime -7 > /tmp/modified.txt" will give you a list of all files modified in the last 7 days. This will be gigantic (half a million after 1.5 min on my computer), but once it's finished you can use grep/sort/etc to analyze it. For example you can pipe to "grep '^/etc/'" to see only /etc/, and do the same for home dir - I would expect that the keyboard config should be in one of those. If you find anything interesting, you can try "pacman -Qo /path/to/file" to see if it came from a package.

Pressed keys V, B, N, M im that order.

I moticed code 48 (B) amd code 49 (N) register as codes 47 amd 50 which correspomd to V amd M respectively.

Same applies to the spacevar amd emter/returm.

Took me years to fimish this respomse, apologies for the mess.

* I dom't have access to amother keyvoard atm.
* It does happem im the comsole.
* I will try a liveiso im a vit, have veem vusy amd it hadm't crossed my mimd.
* Gmome is vorked, tried other layouts vut they dom't stick.

F, I hope it's mot hardware, I dom't meed this right mow.

Re: Vrokem keymap after Jume 1st updates affectimg omly 3 keys

With the specific geometry of the affected keys (bottom center of a QWERT* layout) I'm afraid you need to prepare for a HW defect.
Is this a notebook keyboard or an external one…?

Not only were you correct, I tore a thin black film inside this laptop resulting in a torn ribbon from the scare. Thankfully the tear happened on the keyboard side, unfortunately however a replacement isn't an option atm.

I did unearth a keyboard that sounds like a typewriter which gives me good reasons to buy a replacement with every keystroke. Honestly, I don't know how some people can prefer this much noise and remain focused.

Anyways, thank you for holding my hand throughout this silly mess and to that other user for making realize I was accidentally funny lol.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
