Mike,

This looks specific to ubunty. I run Slackware.

Thanks,

A quick web search turned up this. I ran both commands w/o any problems.

"You should run systemctl status console-setup.service as per suggestion to 
have a look at the problem."

You may need to execute

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration"

[PLUG] Loading ~/.keymap on laptop fails

[Rich Shepard]

I'm setting up my Lenovo T430 with Slackware64-15.0. In ~/.bash_profile is
the command to load ~./keymap. This fails to work and I've had the same
issue with other laptops, but never on desktops.

Because I never use the CAPS LOCK key, but consistently use the CTRL key
I've always swapped the two on the left side of the keyboard.

I'd like some ideas on how to determine why it doesn't load and how to get
it working in both consoles and virtual terminals when X is running.

TIA,

Rich
