Can you post the output of 'strace /usr/sbin/kudzu' when run post-boot?
Created attachment 105749 [details] strace -o kudzu.txt /usr/sbin/kudzu The keyboard errors that I am experiencing could be attributed to a UK English keyboard. For example, the "@" symbol from SHIFT+2 in now a quotation mark and vice versa. This is maybe how the English keyboard is supposed to be. I do not know. I have never seen an English keyboard. Maybe someone on your network uses the UK keyboard and can advise. Other special character keys are reversed also. Hope this helps.
OK, so post-boot it doesn't segfault. Hm.
Good Day . . . I cycled through about half a dozen power down/power up sequences and I learned some more information. The segmentation fault does not appear anymore. I changed the keyboard system settings > keyboard to Swedish, UKEnglish and USEnglish but nothing happened. Changing USEnglish worked once but it did not survive a reboot. I am unable to change the keyboard. One thought, my system is set to UKEnglish possibly the UKEnglish keyboard is the only option. Doubtful but possible. On USEnglish keyboard this is the character from SHIFT + 3 - £££££. It should be the number character which I have completely lost and is nowhere on the keyboard. I give you this information because kudzu has something to do with hardware. This problem may have caused the 'segfault' or is a result of it. Hope this helps because I am unable to type anything but alpha characters! Thank You
Assigning to kbd; kudzu doesn't really touch keymaps.
loadkeys, which system-config-keyboard calls, seems to get upset when not run from a VT on FC2. Works fine on FC3 though.
I can't reproduce loadkeys hanging on FC2... and I doubt fedora legacy will be fixing this. Sorry.
