Keyboard layout is diferent at login screen and user sesion

mabvmet · 2023-10-01 22:28:57

Hi.

I have this issue, when my pc starts, in the login screen, always the keyboard distribution is set in US, but once I'm in my user sesion the keyboard goes to ES.

the /etc/vconsole.conf file is setted KEYMAP=es

The question is:
How do I change the keyboard layout also in the login screen?

Thanks!

vconsole is for the console only (the DOS-like text shell thing)

What /is you "login screen", which display server (X11 or wayland) and what's the output of "localectl"?

- The output of "localectl" is:
System Locale: LANG=es_MX.UTF-8
VC Keymap: es
X11 Layout: (unset)

- echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland

GDM, SDDM, …

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg/K … _localectl - most will pick it up from there.

Looks like it is GDM:

env | grep XDG
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/mabvmet/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=gnome
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user

"looks like"??

1st, no doesn't - nothing there hints at your DM
2nd, how did you install archlinux? How can you not *know* what your DM is?

This is an old pc, I don't use it often, so I do not remember what I have installed here, but here is the output about the DM:

$ systemctl status display-manager

Did you check the link in #4 and add a global key config?
