Problem - keyboard selection after install (bug?) fix found
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2008 7:57 am
Hi,
I don't know if it's a bug but I think so.
I installed twice Linux Mint Elyssa KDE Edition and I got the problem each time:
Explanations:
- Insert and start the live DVD
- Launch the installationn from the desktop
- Select French, time zone, keyboard FR, etc...
- Installation ok at this point.
Reboot and KDM have a wrong keyboard selection, it is in US
The solution is to use the command line in order to change "us" to "fr":
ctrl+alt+F1
login (keyboard should be good in console mode)
cd /etc/X11
sudo nano xorg.conf
In the InputDevice, Generic Keyboard, change XkbLayout "us" ou "fr"
ctrl+o (enter)
ctrl+x
/etc/init.d/kdm restart
This normaly fix the problem.
bye,
