The keymaps.sh script stops because it detects setupcon, and decides that console-setup will take over.
console-setup by means of setupcon loads /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz , which is qwerty. Overwriting it with a dvorak-keymap and then calling: $ sudo setupcon -v $ sudo update-initramfs -k all -u will make sure all terminals have the desired keymap on boot. Question: what is the regular automated procedure to do this ? Remark: I now have dvorak on console, dvorak in X - but I must still type my password in qwerty to log into X, even though I've selected dvorak in the keyboard menu below. :-( -- 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
