[LXDE] Keyboard layout not saved on reboot

[samyboy]

Hi,

I just installed Linux Mint, this is an awesome piece of Linux.

However LXDE is giving me trouble with the keyboard layout.

I've got a swiss french (fr_CH) keyboard an change with lxkeymap.
The layout changes accordingly but on next reboot the layout is en_US again.

This is very annoying. I ran accross this issue with Ubuntu Natty. They've got an open bug about it:

Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

 $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	LinuxMint
Description:	Linux Mint 11 LXDE

Codename:	katya

I have no experience of this, but I saw in other threads that this is a known issue, and you need to modify the file ~/.dmrc with a text editor. See http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... rc#p482067.

I solve this problem following.

For autologin.

Run following code with lxtermial.

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/xdg/lxsession/Mint-LXDE/autostart

Add following line on autostart file and save.

Code: Select all

@setxkbmap -layout "your_layout"

I use for turkish f keyboard

Code: Select all

@setxkbmap -layout "tr(f)"

For using LXDM

I change keyboard layout form bottom panel on LXDM.
But layout reset every time on LXDM.
Fix it following.

I run following code on lxterminal for get info from .dmrc

Code: Select all

cat ~/.dmrc

Give me following print.

Code: Select all

Language=tr_TR
Langlist=tr_TR:en
LCMesstr_TR.UTF-8
Layout=tr	f

I open lxdm.conf file by run following code on lxterminal

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/xdg/mint-lxde/lxdm/lxdm.conf

I find [Input] line on lxdm.conf file and add last line from .dmrc file.

Code: Select all

[Input]
Layout=tr	f

I save lxdm.conf file and logout, not change keyboard layout on LXDM.
