I am not able to positively change the console to "german" layout.

is there more to do as

? (it does not change anything, keyboard layout still is "english" which is a big problem with Passwords and Special Characters...)

Its working if you access UNRAID over the LAN, but not directly at the console.

 

If you boot without GUI, keyboard is fine, but if you start and use the local X Server, keyboard layout is fixed to english if you use the local keyboard and monitor. Setting the display language to german just changes the strings, not the keyboard layout.

Or is there a (hidden?) secret setting to configure the X console???

Found the culprit (But dunno how to fix it LIMETECH!!!)!

 

The problem is, that the X Server is started before "setxkbmap de" is run (of course, it has to because without it, the keymap cannot be altered at all).

The wanted keyboard type is restored later on, but this only works for LAN connections that are forked later!

So the initial console GUI never gets the proper layout.

 

I wanted to change /etc/rc.d/rc.4.local to see if the setting works if beeing forced.

But before "exec slim" there is no display window to be altered and behind the script never comes across because of the exec...

 

Thing is, the desired keyboard layout need to be stored somewhere and restored after the X server got started but before the login window is shown.

Also, if somebody changes the layout with the GUI, the optional local X Server (including the session) needs to be killed and restarted (with the new layout).

 

(maybe after this change the annoying firefox messagebox offering translation (back to english) will vanish too, I hate it!!!)

No - this is general enquiries.   The Bugs Repots section is for bugs.

Oh sorry, "too many forums here" :-)))

Could you pls move it to the correct spot? (and also my other "complain" about wrong paths for appdata)

 

(As a weak and cheap excuse: I have SEEN that forum, but the whole top articles were only annoucements for old beta versions, so I thought this was an annoucement only forum)

We cannot move threads to the Bug Reports subforum, different database.
