The problem is now in the console-common package. The keymay is not set at boot time. Originally, I had a US-qwerty layout, then changed it to dvorak. Now, the consoles are qwerty, to log into X i have to type my password in qwerty, and then I have a dvorak session.
Running the script 'sudo /etc/init.d/keymap.sh' does not fix the problem, although /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz is definitely a dvorak layout. If I run 'sudo loadkeys -q /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz' from the command line, it works. So my suspicion is that the /etc/init.d/keymap.sh script is broken. I have other computers on which I installed ubuntu with a dvorak keyboard right away, and the problem is not present on those. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198483 Title: install-keymap doesn't make setting permanent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-common/+bug/198483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
