Support QWERTZ layout #4

Closed mpldr closed 4 years ago

mpldr commented 4 years ago

Hello, my Keyboard is in the german QWERTZ layout and as soon as I start eruption it is set to QWERTY, making working with it a lot harder.

This could be a problem with the eruption virtual keyboard device being set to the default layout.

Eruption uses the Linux uinput subsystem to create a virtual keyboard device that mirrors all keys pressed on the "real" device and additionally can inject/replace keystroke sequences ("macros").

I suspect that the layout of the virtual keyboard is set to "en_US".

Could you please post the output of these commands:

$ localectl

$ xinput list

Does this repair the problem (temporarily)?

$ setxkbmap de

$ localectl

       VC Keymap: de-latin1
      X11 Layout: n/a
$ xinput list

and yes, setxkbmap fixes the issue until eruption is restarted

Hello, 

$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: de-latin1
      X11 Layout: n/a

I suspect that this is the culprit: X11 Layout: n/a

To set the system-wide default keyboard layout to de, you may want to execute this command:

$ sudo localectl set-x11-keymap de

You may need to restart at least the X server for the changes to take effect.

That did it. Thanks a lot.
