[SOLVED]Language toggle problem

Hello, i can’t toggle my keyboard language from english (us) to greek (el/gr) and back, and i can't figure out which settings are wrong.

 
$cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us,el"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak,extended"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
 

I also tried to mv the 00-keyboard.conf file from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with no results.

$cat /etc/locale.gen
# Configuration file for locale-gen
#
# lists of locales that are to be generated by the locale-gen command.
#
# Each line is of the form:
#
#     <locale> <charset>
#
#  where <locale> is one of the locales given in /usr/share/i18n/locales
#  and <charset> is one of the character sets listed in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps
#
#  Examples:
#  en_US ISO-8859-1
#  en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
#  de_DE ISO-8859-1
#  de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
#
#  The locale-gen command will generate all the locales,
#  placing them in /usr/lib/locale.
#
#  A list of supported locales is included in this file.
#  Uncomment the ones you need.

Re: [SOLVED]Language toggle problem

an update..
if i add

setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" &

to the file
.config/openbox/environment
i can change the language and write Russian letters.
if i do the same, but with us,el (greek), i can not change the language again.
i also reinstall glibc witch runs locale-gen again.

Any suggestions..?

Re: [SOLVED]Language toggle problem

ok i found it.
i change XkbLayout from el to gr and i also change XkbVariant. for us i leave it blank, so the default value will be use, and for gr i add simple.
this is the one that worked

 $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbVariant" ",simple"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

the XkbVariants, if anyone interesting in, i found them with the command

localectl list-x11-keymap-variants gr

So, i mark the thread as solved.
