Fixed in rhpl-0.135-1; that will get removed when you write out a new config with system-config-keyboard (or whatever else uses it.) |
Description of problem: After upgrading from RHL 7.3 I cannot change the keytable (which is not so well in front of a German keyboard) permanently. redhat-config-keyboard remember my settings but on next reboot this is already gone again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.42.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHL 7.3 with all updates 2. Configure e.g. a German keyboard map 3. Update to Fedora Core 1 Actual Results: Not working Expected Results: Working Additional info: I've tracked down the problem, see reason now: On my RHL 7.3 system, a file called /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap. During the upgrade, it wasn't neither removed nor I got a warning. redhat-config-keyboard ignores this file, but rc.sysinit not. And therefore, the defined keytable wasn't loaded. Simply renamed the file, and all works fine. Related code: if [ "$CONSOLETYPE" = "vt" -a -x /bin/loadkeys ]; then KEYTABLE= KEYMAP= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap ]; then <-!!!! KEYMAP=/etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap <-!!!!!!!! else if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/keyboard fi if [ -n "$KEYTABLE" -a -d "/lib/kbd/keymaps" ]; then KEYMAP="$KEYTABLE.map" fi fi Note that on a fresh FC1 install, "default.kmap" doesn't exist at all.
