[SOLVED] Preparing for systemd, toggle keyboard layout stop working.

Hi all,

I am preparing for switch to systemd and was going through rc.conf according to the wiki to se that I have the new conf files in place and that everything work when I disabled it in rc.conf.

To make a long story short I isolated the problem to  LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8" in rc.conf.

If I disable it I can not switch layout between us and se.

For layout toggle I added:

setxkbmap -layout "us, se" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

to my .xinitrc

In /etc/locale.gen it look like this:

#en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8  
#en_SG ISO-8859-1  
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8  
en_US ISO-8859-1  
#en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8  
#en_ZA ISO-8859-1  

I have also run:

 locale-gen

Any ide way I need LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8" in rc.conf in order to get the swedish layout to work OK?

What is needed for it to work without rc.conf setting?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Christer

Try to put LANG="en_US.UTF-8" into /etc/locale.conf
