Problem with keyboard layout [Porteus v1.1 x86_64]

[Blaze]

Hello everybody.

I have problem with keyboard layout (alt+shift does not work) in my Russian localization for Porteus v1.1 x86_64.

Download my Russian localization for Porteus v1.1 x86_64

Can you help me to fix it?

Thanks.

Hi Hamza.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=~/.config/autostart/xkb.desktop
Comment=Keyboard Layout Switcher settings
Exec=setxkbmap -layout ru,us -option grp:alt_shift_toggle
OnlyShowIn=LXDE

It does not work for me.

@Blaze
this is a bug in 'kmap=' cheat implementation. please update 002/opt/porteus-scripts/paths with following code:

Code: Select all

KMAP=`egrep -o " kmap=[^ ]+" /proc/cmdline | cut -d= -f2`                                                                                   
[ "$KMAP" = "" ] || setxkbmap $KMAP -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

during boot time you will have to provide more than one (and less than four as setxkbmap supports only 3 maps) keyboard mappings (separated by comma) to be able to switch between them. example:
'kmap=ru,us' or 'kmap=pl,de,us'
