[Solved] KEYMAP problem (or FONT ?)

PolePosition · 2012-11-04 09:45:21

Hello,

I've got a KEYMAP problem (or maybe FONT, I do not know...)
Hopefully one of you have a solution.

'cause I got some warning during statup about rc.conf variable that now should be managed by systemd with compatibiliyy mode, I have choosend to resinatll.
So that I have a fresh install with GRUB2 and full-systemd.
I have useed the last ISO from 1st of november.

So, my problem is, if I press the 'é' touch, I get :

in a TTY : '{'
from a TTY emulator (XFCE Terminal Emulator) : '?'

Here is my configuration :

[bastien@zoulou ~]$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=fr
FONT=
FONT_MAP=
[bastien@zoulou ~]$

[bastien@zoulou ~]$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=C
VC Keymap: fr
X11 Layout: fr
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
[bastien@zoulou ~]$

[bastien@zoulou ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard-layout.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Layout"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
Option "XkbVariant" "latin9" # acc?s aux caract?res sp?ciaux plus logique avec "Alt Gr" (ex : << >> avec "Alt Gr" w x)
EndSection
[bastien@zoulou ~]$

After I run this command, I get the confirmation message : "Loading /usr/share/kbd/keymap/i386/azerty/fr.map.gz"
But if I press 'é' in a TTY I still get '{'.

I would like to have the right keymap everything (including TTYs)
I guess there is a clean, centralized, nice solution by using systemd ?

Thanks you so much !

Hello, what happens if you do "setfont Lat2-Terminus16" in the terminal and then try to press "é" ? Does the problem happens in a terminal emulator or even on the native TTYs (accessible with Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc...) ?

PS: Salut, tu es francais je suppose...

Hello.

Try the next command in a terminal emulator (in X):

setxkbdmap fr

-------------------------------------------------------

Surely you haven't uncommented fr_FR.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen
Remember regenerate locale, if don't get 'é' could be because you have only ascii chars.

locale-gen

Almost all keyboard touches works fine, but some does not, for example 'é' and 'è'.
I would like to add that the results are exactly the same in TTY and X11.

What I woulid like is :

- use my french layout keyboard as a french layout keyboard (system-widely, I mean in both TTY and X11),
- keep the default language as english for applications, this is the case right now and it works fine

@unifiedlinux, to answer your question, yep I am french !

Hope you have an idea.

Regards,
Bastien

Hello.

Open an emulator terminal and type

setxkbmap fr

This command changes your layout in X to french layout. But just until you log out your session. Try if it works. If it do, put it in your start session file.

For virtual console:
edit /etc/vconsole.conf and write down KEYMAP=cf or KEYMAP=fr-latin1
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KEYMAP

PS: I've tried but, I have no idea how is a french keyboard. It looks like in my "2" key print é.

Hi,

THANK U SO MUCH !!!!

Below is my vconsole.conf

[bastien@zoulou ~]$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=fr-latin1
FONT=
FONT_MAP=
[bastien@zoulou ~]$

It was KEYMAP=fr but according to the link you just gave me I have changed it to KEYMAP=fr-latin1.
Now it works, after a restart, in both TTY AND X11 !!

Merci beaucoup !

Hi,

Actually I had a look into "Newbie Corner" and also "Forum & Wiki discution" to know how to mark a thread as Solved but I have not found the way to go...
Also Google does not help.

Could you please tell me ?

Alber · 2012-11-11 10:38:30

Don't worry.
Just go up the thread and edit the title adding "[Solved]", or like.

[Solved] KEYMAP problem (or FONT ?)

I guess this is not the rigth way to go.
I cannot change the topic of the thread...

Alber · 2012-11-11 10:49:42

Sorry,
go to the first item of the thread, and press the "edit" link.
There, you'll see that you can edit the title.

I got it...
I am not used to forum which allow you to edit post more than a few minutes old.
This is why I didn't think of clicking edit of the first post.

Thanks again,
