Changes gone after rebooting the machine

#1 Post by azrael11 »

Hello to all new user here...

I am familiar with linux so here is my problem

I have an old laptop hp and i manage to install the macpup
Everything works just fine.

The problem starts when i add a new keyboard layout the greek language
I go to setup->mouse/keyboard wizard

The greek language seems to add fine.
Second step is to add a combination key to change the layout.
I go to the options->group shift... and i select the left win key
then press ok after apply and restart the x server

when i get back everything works just fine the keyboard layout changes with the left win key.

I reboot the pc.
Try to change it nothing. Looking if the keyboard layout is missing but not eveything is in place. even the combination key seems ok.

but not working...

What i am doing wrong

Thank you.

then press ok after apply and restart the x server
and press the green key on the bottom to confirm again that it has to be applied.
In my experience you cannot press that key often enough :P

here on slacko, i had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually after running mouse/keyboard-wizard. changes i made with the wizard were there, but they were commented out with a leading #

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc102"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "de" #xkeymap0
    Option         "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" #xkbvariant0
    Option         "XkbOptions" "compose:menu"
EndSection
