[SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

Since I switched to Linux, first manjaro, then Arch, I've had two major issues with my keyboard:

  • The f3 and f4 keys toggle the microphone mute (same as f8) instead of changing the laptop display brightness. I do remember them working ONCE one day ago, but never after that. The other function keys work as intended.

  • I would like the various accents (´, `, ^, ~, ¨) to wait until I press a vocal before printing out, and making that vocal accented, like they did on windows (and also on manjaro I think, I'm not sure). To make things clear, this is what the de_CH keyboard looks like

I'm using an HP ProBook 440 G6, and the BIOS is fully up to date (01.18.00 Rev.A).

In case any of you have experienced the exact same problems, and maybe found a fix, or have any idea, let me know below!
Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

setkxbmap -print -query

The basic swissgerman layout has

    key <AE11> { [ apostrophe,   question,   dead_acute             ] };
    key <AE12> { [ dead_circumflex, dead_grave, dead_tilde          ] };

so your desired behavior is the default for that layout.

This is unrelated to the brightness keys. What does 

sudo libinput debug-events

report for brightness and mute keys?

Apparently, f3, f4 and f8 (as functions) are seen as the same key

};

Thanks for answering, hope this helps

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

You're using the "de_nodeadkeys" which only purpose is to defeat the behaviour you desire.
Simply use the basic ch layout (no variant, the "de" variant  is equivalent)

As for your brightness keys, we need to look a layer below 

sudo evtest

If they're also the same there, it probably hangs on some wmi kernel module/parameter - but https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=333181 ended w/ a BIOS update.

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

Thank you, the accent keys are now fixed and are working as expected! àá..

setxkbmap -print -query
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+ch+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc86)"	};
};
rules:      evdev
model:      pc86
layout:     ch

as for the other one, there you go

sudo evtest

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

Try to blackist hp_wmi - use the kernel command line editor of your bootloader (eg. grub) - so if this goes wrong, a simple reboot will clear the stage (nb. that I don't *expect* any issues from this, but safe > sorry)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … and_line_2

You only load the hp_wmi (ie. no other vendor wmi cuts into the show), there're some errors… so let's see what happens if we leave it alone.

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

ok, sorry for not answering, I was setting up latte-dock, which was giving me some issues with various shortcuts (randomly fixed itself, nice)

by the way, tell me if you think my efforts where worth it (posted it on r/unixporn cause I'm dumb, ig

also, let me try to disable hp_wmi on boot really fast (will edit soon)

Ok, so, I have no clue what was supposed to happen, but after booting with module_blacklist=hp_wmi in the grub command line, nothing really appears to have changed.

in case that might be useful, here is the output of some commands you asked for before:

don't mind telling me if you think i might have done somrthing wrong (i pressed c from the grub screen, typed module_blacklist=hp_wmi, then pressed esc and booted from the default Arch Linux entry)

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

"module_blacklist=hp_wmi" doesn't show up in the juornal grep - how did you add it to the commandline and if it was /etc/defaults/grub, did you grub-mkconfig afterwards?
If this can really not prevent the module from being loaded you'll have to go for the /bin/true variant explained in the wiki, but atm. it looks more like the parameter wasn't applied at all.

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

As I said, I'm not totally sure I did it right
Wanna talk on telegram, that way it's easier to talk

Let me try again and see if it applies

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

After trying, I only had one boot with something different, but it might also have been a kde bug (latte-dock didnt load, and the wallpaper had reset to default)
The journal and hotkeys still gave the same output, so idk.
I might try tomorrow to try with /etc/default/grub, I will let you know (it's basically midnight right now). also, merry xmas

WRT your DM, I was kinda waiting for the progress report on this. Notice that findigs on different HW are pretty much useless because this is very much vendor dependent and even different generations of the same notebook model might not show the same behavior.
THe next and probably last resort suggestion to maybe somehow get some access to those keys  would have been https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Acpid# … ht_control

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

SOLUTION:
I tried to update the BIOS via the windows utility, and it did not work
Apparently, rolling back to the previous version (01.17.00) from the bios, and then updating, still from there, to the newer one (01.18.00) fixed it?

A weird thing i noticed while updating though is that while updating PEIA the fan goes crazy and the computer shuts down, probably for termal related issues, at 90%

I tried to keep the computer as cool as possible, and it got a bit further, but still shut down

I might try later, if i get some issues, or with the next stable BIOS.

Anyway, I think we can consider the issue fixed
But still, thank you Seth for helping and for fixing the accented vocals! [áèîõü]

Re: [SOLVED] HP laptop keyboard (de_CH-latin1) issues

If there's still a parallel windows installation, the 3rd link below might be very relevant.
