 Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 8:10 pm Post subject: Key mappings problem at boot |
 |
|
Hi,
Yesterday I did an emerge -uUD world (it updated binutils, glibc and kbd) and when I booted into Linux today I got a very weird error:
| Quote: |
* Loading key mappings...
loadkeys: /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/nl.map.gz:24: adding map 3 violates explicit keymaps line
* Error loading key mappings [ !! ]
|
And my keymapping (NL) didn't work anymore, my keyboard now uses (the standard) US layout.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
TIA,
Frank

I'd start by checking that your /etc/rc.conf keymap=*** hasn't chnaged as a result of the emerge or by etc-update after. Hope this helps.

No, this line in rc.conf is still the same, it says: KEYMAP="nl", this always worked well.

Sorry Frank thats as far as my knowledge takes me, take a peek at my post in Gentoo Chat re Fault Trees https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=125019 what do you think. I bet your question has been answered at least once. But finding it thats the problem.

Lost my keyboard yesterday so much similar to your way (new glibc and binutils) that I thoght it was the same problem. Seems not to be, (I wan't Swedish instead  ). However I found your problem when explicitly trying running
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/nl.map.gz
gunzipping and looking at the offening line '24' (turns out to be line 23 actually) which looks like this:
altgr shift keycode 24 = +Oslash
Commenting that one (#) and it works for me. Ok, this does disable something (don't ask me) but hopefully nothing vital. |

Hi,
Yes! It works again, yesterday evening I did exactly what you did gollum, just comment out that rule and everything seems to work the way it should.
