Re: Problem: change layout keyboard

You need to configure it? To give you an idea here are my configs

[ugjka@archee Video]$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
FONT=lat4-16
KEYMAP=dvorak

[ugjka@archee Video]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf 
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us,lv,lv,ru"
        #Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak,minuskeydvorak,apostrophe,phonetic"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

No, It doesn`t.

but each reboot revert the layout with us

Re: Problem: change layout keyboard

What did you install on top of it? You have Xorg according to your settings. What uses Xorg? KDE, Gnome, Openbox? What?

Re: Problem: change layout keyboard

I think Gnome should respect your Xorg settings (Like KDE does on my machine) but whatever... Please remember to tag this thread as [Solved]

That would be the most sensible assumption, unfortunately it's incorrect
OP may be using Wayland, but IIRC it doesn't get respected under X either.

Re: Problem: change layout keyboard

and even if he uses X , gnome override Xorg settings - from my experience.
