Hello!

I've reinstalled Antergos with care of selecting correctly the keymap (Spanish Latin American), in other pc (Hp Pavilion). I've proved it with cnchi tester.

When I have finished the keymap is English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't write in Spanish!

...As we can see, the Distro doesn't have la-latin1

Abre una terminal y ejecuta el siguiente instruccion:

CÓDIGO: SELECCIONAR TODO setxkbmap -layout latam

donde:

setxkbmap: esel comando para cambiar el teclado -layout: es la opcion para cambiar el idioma latam: es el idioma a cambiar, o sea Español Latinoamericano :D.

puedes investigar como se ejecutan aplicaciones al inicio en openbox, y agregar la instrucción que te acabo de comentar, para que no lo escribas diariamente, aunque pues no es mal repetirlo muchas veces el comando para que te lo aprendas.

Esto es valido para todos los entorno de escritorio como lxde, fluxbox, openbox, etc etc.

Espero haberte ayudado :D.

Naguara gracias por la ayuda :D :D :D :D :D , andaba loco sin poder usar la ñ en el teclado, no tienes idea cuantas veces tuve que reiniciar probando un monton de cosas que no servian.

Esto funciona, pero al reiniciar no está cargado el teclado Español Lat, sino que debo reingresar desde consola:

setxkbmap -layout latam

Ayuda!

Which DE are you using? You have to setup your keyboard layout with it.

In Gnome you'll find the keyboard layout settings in the region and languages setting panel. Go to the user menu, choose System Settings, then Region and Language, then switch to the Layouts tab.

EDIT: Oh, I've read now that you seem to use openbox. You have to edit ~/.config/openbox/autostart file and add the line: setxkbmap -layout latam &

Hello, Thank you very much!

With your instruccion: "In Gnome you'll find the keyboard layout settings in the region and languages setting panel. Go to the user menu, choose System Settings, then Region and Language, then switch to the Layouts tab."

Was more than perfect.

Acabo de reiniciar mi sistema y vean: me cargó la los caracteres propios de mi teclado español-latinoamericano.

Estoy en Gnome, no en open box. ¡Gracias!

Sin embargo la wiki de antergos no dice nada sobre adicionales intervenciones en configuración de teclado.

Al menos cnchi por cortesía debería decir algo así en la parte de selección de teclado: "por favor luego de la instalación verifique que se ha cargado la distribución de teclado que usted desea. Para ello diríjase a "Configuraciones", "Región e Idioma", y allí "fuentes de entrada".

El caso es que no creo que se deba llegar a eso, porque bien recuerdo que en anteriores versiones de Antergos (instaladas en las mismas máquinas), No presentaba inconvenientes, es decir, la distro permanecía con el teclado escogido originalmente en la instalación.

Gracias por su atención y por su tiempo.

God Bless you.

Hi there! Fresh install here and i can confirm similar problem in gnome:

Problem:

In brazilian Portuguese Cnchi is setting /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAP with br but this entry doesn't exists.

cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
# File modified by Cnchi

KEYMAP=br

Logs

sudo systemctl ● systemd-vconsole-setup.service loaded failed failed Setup Virtual Console

sudo systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service set 09 14:23:27 PSArch systemd[1]: Starting Setup Virtual Console... set 09 14:23:27 PSArch systemd-vconsole-setup[353]: cannot open file br set 09 14:23:27 PSArch systemd[1]: systemd-vconsole-setup.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE set 09 14:23:27 PSArch systemd[1]: Failed to start Setup Virtual Console. set 09 14:23:27 PSArch systemd[1]: systemd-vconsole-setup.service: Unit entered failed state. set 09 14:23:27 PSArch systemd[1]: systemd-vconsole-setup.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Solution

Change /etc/vconsole.conf entry to one of this: br-abnt br-abnt2 (most common) br-latin1-abnt2 br-latin1-us

I'd like to make a PR but dont know how can start a hotfix cnchi/modules/keymap.py is this guy?

@kneipp Let me check it and I'll get back to you asap... we're kinda busy lately with our jobs.

@kneipp I believe you are looking for install.py, the relevent code is here I think

def set_vconsole_conf(self):
        """ Set vconsole.conf for console keymap """
        match = {
            "ca": "us",
            "gb": "uk",
            "latam": "la-latin1",
            "pt": "pt-latin1"
        }
        keyboard_layout = self.settings.get("keyboard_layout")
        keyboard_variant = self.settings.get("keyboard_variant")
        vconsole = match.get(keyboard_layout, keyboard_layout)
        # Write vconsole.conf
        vconsole_path = os.path.join(DEST_DIR, "etc/vconsole.conf")
        with open(vconsole_path, 'w') as vconsole_file:
            vconsole_file.write("# File modified by Cnchi\n\n")
            vconsole_file.write("KEYMAP={0}\n".format(vconsole))
        logging.debug("Set vconsole to %s", vconsole)

Additionally I believe the keyboard layouts are defined in utils/KeyboardNames.pl. However, I infer from the code that the match at the top of the quoted function is used so as to not mess with the perl code
