Description of problem: On a clean OS install, if you start up konsole, and then go to the menu: Settings->Configure Konsole Then go to the "Session" notebook tab, there is a setting which you can use to change the "Keytab". It defaults to using "Xterm (XFree86 3.3.x)" which sucks because function keys don't work, along with many other PC keyboardisms. Changing this to "linux console" is what I want to do. When I do this, the setting takes, but when I hit "Apply" or "Ok", then right before my eyes, konsole reverts the change back to "Xterm (XFree86 3.3.x)". This is very annoying, because I have 25 terminals open, and have to right click on each one of them every time I restart X, and choose Settings->Keyboard->linuxconsole, at which point everything works right, but I have to repeat that 25 times. I want to change the default to linux console, but konsole wont allow that due to this bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1.4-6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above Expected results: konsole should allow me to change the default keyboard for the "linux console" session to be "linux console" keyboard, which is the only thing that makes sense.
Reproduced on today's updated fc2.
I can set "XFree86 4.x.x" or "linux console", but anything else changes it back to "linux console" This is on AMD64, but I'm not privileged enough to change Platfrom from i386 to All.
Yep, VT100 and VT420 don't work either.
This occurs on FC1, FC2, and rawhide BTW, on all arches.
This problem also occurs on Redhat enterprise WS version 3. Even manually setting the *.desktop file with the correct keytab file name fails to access the correct keytab. When the kKeytab setting is saved, the KeyTab= line either has no value for Xfree 4.x.x or the value "keytab" for anything else (which results in Xfree 3.x.x being used).
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
