[SOLVED] Keyboard layout doesn't seem to be applied

I'm using porteus kiosk with a network config, in it I have:

primary_keyboard_layout=fr:latin9

(Azerty layout basically)

It works fine with a keyboard (that is only used for debugging purposes), but not with a QRcode reader, which is its main usage

both root and guest have the same anwser to this command setxkbmap -v 10 -query

Code: Select all

Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+us+inet(evdev)
geometry:   pc(pc105)
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
If anyone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong, thanks !

Not sure if i understand but i'm getting this output after using your parameter:

Code: Select all

root@kiosk:~# setxkbmap -v 10 -query
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     fr,
variant:    latin9,
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(azerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+fr(latin9)+inet(evdev)
geometry:   pc(pc105)
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     fr,
variant:    latin9,
So it must be your kiosk config issue.

Ok so I retried, it's plugging the qrcode reader on the pc that changed the layout back to US, if it's plugged before boot, the layout is indeed fr:latin9

Do you want more info ? It really looks like a bug to me

I'm using Porteus Kiosk 4.5.0 btw

Unfortunately i do not have this hardware around so wont be able to recreate your issue.
Please contact me on support@porteus-kiosk.org and will try to debug this over SSH/VNC.

Thanks
