 Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 2:38 pm Post subject: Keyboard oddity after crash(solved) |
 |
|
I did an emerge -uvD world on one of my systems for the first time in quite a while and everything compiled just fine. Then i ran dispatch-conf and just as it started I had a brown-out that reset the system. Everything seemed to start okay but I am missisng some keys on my keyboard. I get no output with the following keys: =>< after logging in or in a console in KDE. These keys work fine when sitting at a login prompt and in kwrite. TIA for any help or ideas.

Probably your keyboard layout is not set in kde. Set it in kcontrolcenter.

The layout is set to US and Generic 104-key pc in Control Center. After logging in to a console prompt
I get the same thing. But if I try those keys before logging in they work properly. I thought the keymap file
(us.map.gz)might be corrupt so I replaced that with one from another system. No change. |

Did you run dispatch-conf again?
I would check
| Code: | | /etc/conf.d/keymaps |

Yes I ran dispatch-conf again. Both /etc/init.d/keymaps and /etc/conf.d/keymaps check out ok. I have finally given up
and restored an image of the partition that I have from about a month ago. The keyboard is back to normal. Thank you. |

And what is now set in kcontrolcenter? I wouldn't think that /etc/conf.d/keymaps is involved in the problem you've had but the settings in kde as you have encountered the problems after the broken update. Also because you have the problems after log into kde and not in console mode.
