I see issues, such as this https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/qubes-users-4-1-rc1-uk-keyboard-reverted-to-us-layout/7386 here, but none of them solve my problem.
Since upgrading to 4.1, I have the keyboard layout broken again problem.
In System Tools > Keyboard > Layout the US layout is not mentioned anywhere and I specified GB layout during install.
Have tried:
-
Both Debian 11 and Fedora 35 templates.
-
Setting localectl to this:
System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
VC Keymap: gb
X11 Layout: gb
X11 Model: pc105
Then, the toggle key switches between US and another language if one is set in System Tools.
If another language is added to the localectl or dpkg-reconfigure or installing language packs, toggle key switches between 3 layouts - one of them always US.
I don’t have an indicator, and lose track which language is current.
In some VMs and certain apps, have to press the toggle key more than 3 times to get the second language to activate.
- Setting
dpkg-reconfigurein Debian to None or C default doesn’t fix this. - The only VM where GB layout works properly is where it is set:
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: n/a
X11 Layout: us
X11 Model: pc105
But I don’t know how I was able to set VC Keymap that way. Setting it all to US doesn’t fix the problem.
Is there no way to get rid of the US layout completely?
