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 '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in' file as suggested by Peter Hutterer here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/issues/212 With Regards -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/

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. -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/

I see there are at least aur/bauerbill, aur/pacman2aria2 and aur/powerpill that fit the search term powerpill, but nothing related by official repositories. There's an Arch Wiki available, that explains how to downgrade packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/downgrading_packages There are also tools available by the AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/downgrading_packages#Automation For example: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ downgrade xkeyboard-config Available packages: - 1) xkeyboard-config2.26 1 any (remote) - 2) xkeyboard-config2.26 2 any (remote) - 3) xkeyboard-config2.27 1 any (remote) - 4) xkeyboard-config2.28 1 any (remote) - 5) xkeyboard-config2.29 1 any (remote) + 6) xkeyboard-config2.30 1 any (remote) + 7) xkeyboard-config2.30 1 any (local) select a package by number: Note, those helpers from AUR aren't official supported. Arch General is not the appropriate mailing list regarding unsupported helpers.

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.

Re: [arch-general] Keyboard Problem in Mate Arch Linux for the Last Few Days
Got on the Net some reports, though quite old -- but identical in its bug suggestion, and reinstalled both xorg-xkbcomp and libxklavier -- but nothing changed. Any help anyone? -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/
