[SOLVED]Italian Keyboard not working

mtubarch · 2024-02-10 08:57:21

I have a laptop with an Italian keyboard. The output of /etc/vconsole.conf is correct:

KEYMAP=it

and it has been working fine until today, but after today's update the keyboard is no longer Italian.
These are my specs

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro Gen7 (MK1) Standard
Kernel: 6.7.4-arch1-1
Uptime: 4 mins
Packages: 1398 (pacman)
Shell: bash 5.2.26
Resolution: 2880x1800
DE: Plasma 5.27.10
WM: kwin
Theme: [Plasma], Breeze [GTK2/3]
Icons: Papirus-Light [Plasma], Papirus-Light [GTK2/3]
Terminal: konsole
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H (20) @ 4.600GHz
GPU: Intel Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]

tuxedo-drivers-dkms from AUR is updated.
What should I do? Thank you very much in advance.

vconsole is meaningless for your graphical session, KDE allows you to control the session layout and globally you're probably looking for https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg/K … figuration (unless you're running on wayland - the data you posted is surprisingly irrelevant

I am running on wayland.

Possibly https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=284058 but you'll generally have to configure it in the wayland session using KDEs systemsettings.

I have checked the KDE System settings before posting and the Keyboard Layout was correct, that is "Italian". Now I have added the "Variant" Italian (Windows), and it works. Thank you. However I don't understand why the problem has arisen only now, after today's update, and why the default Italian Layout didn't work.
About the data «surprisingly irrelevant», I was looking for the keyboard setting on the Wiki and found the page https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_ … figuration but, based on what you explained me, I was wrong. Should I have consulted another page?
Thanks again for your advice.

vconsole is only for the console (the DOS like textshell you get on ctrl+alt+f3)
For everything wayland™ you're always does to the very specific tools provided to you by the very wayland compositor your're running (plasma, gnome or wlroots - and in the latter case even that is harmonized only to a certain extent)

I don't understand why the problem has arisen only now, after today's update

What was in that update? KDE stuff?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Starting_Plasma - blue note. plasma/wayland is still very much "under construction"

Edit: Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
