 Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2008 9:04 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] lost characters on my keyboard after emerge world |
 |
|
Hello,
I am on Gentoo since 2006.0 and I am happy with it, updating it twice or three times per year with eix-sync, emerge -uDv system, dispatch-conf, emerge -uDv world, dispatch-conf. Last time, one week ago, this made me loose special characters usage on my keyboard :
- Every ones that needs Right Alt
- Some others needing shift, but only a few of them : pound, mu - here, it behaves like with no shift
- Every accentuated letters
My configuration and profile are :
| Code: | # uname -a
Linux PCTRAVAIL 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 #7 Sat Nov 17 00:53:23 CET 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
# ll /etc/make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 sep 7 18:15 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop
|
I then check my locale with the tutorial here : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml
I have an azerty keyboard with french locale, and it behaves like an azerty i.e. letters a, z, q, w, m are at the right place.
And everything is alright from the tuto checks :
| Code: | # cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LC_ALL="fr_FR@euro"
LANGUAGE="fr_FR@euro"
LANG="fr_FR@euro"
# env | grep -i LC_
LC_ALL=fr_FR@euro
# grep LINGUAS /etc/make.conf
LINGUAS="fr fr_FR en"
# cat /etc/conf.d/keymaps | egrep -v "#"
KEYMAP="fr-latin1"
SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes"
EXTENDED_KEYMAPS="backspace keypad euro"
DUMPKEYS_CHARSET=""
/etc/X11/xorg.conf extract :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
EndSection

You might be interested in this topic. There is no good solution, unfortunately, but you should find a temporary fix there. Good luck.

Thank you kknm_fixxxer  . I should find something usefull there. I will come back when done.
EDIT : ok, I got it . What have worked for me is reemerging that :
| Code: | | emerge -avD xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-evdev xorg-server |
Thought I don't use evdev for the keyboard but kbd.
In fact, xorg-server refused to emerge because of file collision with :
/lib/modules/2.6.20-gentoo-r8/video/fglrx.ko
/var/lib/xkb/README.compiled
Possibly it was the cause of my problem : possibly xorg-server was not anymore compatible. This may be possible because I use this trick to update my world :
| Code: |
emerge -uDv system || until emerge --resume --skipfirst; do emerge --resume --skipfirst; done
dispatch-conf
emerge -uDv system -->to check everything is ok and possibly fix failed emerges
emerge -uDv world || until emerge --resume --skipfirst; do emerge --resume --skipfirst; done
dispatch-conf
emerge -uDv world
|
I should have made a mistake, missing to see that xorg-server did not emerged correctly.
To fix it, I renamed fglrx.ko and README.compiled by suffixing .old
It is brut force, but then it has managed to emerge. Then I compared the new files with the old ones. The first one is different, and the second one identical. I hope it wont break something. BTW, I assume it is like if I had suppressed the FEATURE collision-protect in /etc/make.conf |
