I tried it your way too. I removed hplip. It seemed plausible too.
When the printer was not working in Arch Linux I booted into Debian
and without installing hplip I tried printing. And it worked.

But removing hplip did not help either.

Dear Friend

I installed the AUR package hplip-plugin.

But still it is not working. No page can be printed. It is getting
detected. And then no print. If it did not work in Debian Surge, I
would have thought there is a problem in the printer.

Can you suggest anything else?

Dear friend Karx asked me to try to print something and then give the

/var/log/cups/ has three files: access_log  error_log  page_log

The error_log has 2564 lines. Shall I send it to you?

Dear Friends

I am replying to you all in one message.

I installed hplip-plugin. Now what to do?

The printer is connected to USB 001:004. It is getting detected and
system-config-printer is showing it. But, no test page is getting
printed.

Shall I post cupsd.conf and cups-files.conf as attachments?

Yes, cups and system-config-printer both are installed. And I am not

Dear Friends

My new printer HP Laserjet plus 1020 is not working on Arch Linux,
while it is working fine on the second boot Debian system. I have
tried all the ways that came to my mind or all the suggestions from
the Net. It is not working.

Can any of you suggest anything?

Thank you dear David Rankin for this helpful information.

And I wanted to tell you, this bug was solved at least for me, now I
am using xkeyboard-config-2.30-1 after an update and editing the

Thank you dear Ralf Mardorf for your cooperation.

The problem is solved. I got help from the Net Arch Wki -- how to
downgrade -- and then did it with:

sudo pacman -U  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xkeyboard-config-2.29-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

-- this does everything downgrading xkeyboard-config from 2.30-1 to 2.29-1.

Dear Friend Andreas Radke

Thank you for the help. I went to the link:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/212

The report suggests that a downgrade to xkeyboard-config to 2.29-1
will solve the problem. But, please, sorry for this ignorance, I do
not exactly know how to downgrade. Shall this simple command do:

sudo powerpill -R  && powerpill -S
xkeyboard-config-2.29-1

Thank, once again.

Thank you for your reply, but I do not think the problem is with Mate.

On Arch Linux I have three GUI desktops -- Xfce, Mate and Gnome but
the Bangla keyboard or Keyboard switching is working on none of them.

And, as you said, I will upload those three small PNG files somewhere
and post the links here as soon as I can.

[arch-general] Keyboard Problem in Mate Arch Linux for the Last Few Days

2020-06-12 Thread das via arch-general
Hello Friends in Arch-General Mailing List

I am using Arch Linux for the last six months or so. Before that I was
using Redhat and Fedora for 15 years or so.

I am a Mate user and I use my keyboard to write both English and Bangla.

For the last few days when I am booting into Mate, a problem window is
coming up -- I have attached the file kbd-text-s.png.

The output of the commands in kbd-text.png is here:
<<

dd@ru-al ~]$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "", "grp:lctrl_rctrl_switch"

[dd@ru-al ~]$ gsettings list-keys org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.kbd
layouts
options
model

>>

And usually I change the layout from one to the other (English and
Bangla) whenever I need them -- from
System--Preferences--Hardware--Keyboard, as shown in kbd-layout-s.png
attached with this mail.

But now the keyboard is always English, I cannot change it to Bangla
India Probhat.

I have never filed a bug in Arch Linux and so I am first reporting here.

Any help is welcome.

Thanking you.
