Trouble setting the propper keymap layout
https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.php?id=506
Same here with fresh install today.
Hope my solution helps even if it is a bit overkill :
Modify your /etc/vconsole.conf to your needs.
Then open your favorite editor as root to modify /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
In the HOOKS section, add
keymap
So it gives something like that:
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck keymap)
Then, for standard archlinux kernel, you regenerate your initram with:
mkinitcpio -p linux
for the lts one:
mkinitcpio -p linux-lts
Solves it here, hopefully it helps.
]]>My configuration:
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=br-abnt2
$ ls -lh /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ | grep br-abnt2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,2K mai 3 09:15 br-abnt2.map.gz
my system resets to us keyboard layout after every reboot and ignores the /etc/vconsole.conf i have created during install; i am fairly certain i have written correctly everything.
I also tried using localectl to achieve the same result (as detailed in the Arch Wiki) but after reboot settings are lost
The keymap is italian (if relevant) and the computer is an Acer Aspire One A110L with Atom N270 CPU
I can provide more logs if necessary (i don t have the netbook with me right now)
Thanks in advance
