[Solved] TCP 12 x64 How can I set up setxkbmap automatically?

(1/4) > >>

Hello

In fact is  microcore  build up with so many extensions that is not  microcore  anymore. Anyways, I'm aware of:


--- Code: ---/home/tc/home/.X.d/

--- End code ---

Which works when  Xorg  is properly closed and reopened. However, what I'm trying to get is a "persistent"  setxkbmap  configuration. When keyboard is unplugged, automatically  setxkbmap  reverts itself back to defaults (en). So I have to open a new terminal and type in:


--- Code: ---setxkbmap es

--- End code ---

Every single time I disconnect the keyboard, which happens quite often.

Is it possible to change the default keyboard layout so it always be: es?

Thank you.

Hi Santos
I think this can be done with udev.

Create a file called  /etc/udev/rules.d/98-keyboard-map.rules  containing the following:

--- Code: ---ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="?*", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/setxkbmap es"
--- End code ---

Now make udev aware of the new rules file:

--- Code: ---sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
--- End code ---

Unplug your keyboard, count to 3, and plug it back in. See if the keyboard is correctly programmed.
If it looks correct, add the  .rules  file you created to your backup. Add the  udevadm control --reload-rules
command to your  bootlocal.sh  file.

Have you tried to set the correct keyboard layout for X11.

It's possible you may have to do the  RUN  part a little differently:

Thank you Rich. I did tried the first udev rule you shared. But didn't worked. I will try to test it again with the corrections. To have an alternative way of doing it.

Thank you patrikg. It worked. The configuration file does make the keyboard layout persistent across Xorg soft and hard reset (exiting out) same with window manager or plugging keyboard in/out.

Thread can be marked as solved.
