[Solved] Keyboard configuration - smoreau - 11th July 2017
Installation of Maui 17.06 on Macbookpro.
All the process with calamares is OK Configuration of Europe, Paris, Keyboard French Macintosh, MacBookPro Intl.
Testing the keyboard on calamares windows is OK keyboard in azerty and Macintosh configuration OK.
However, after installation and boot the keyboard in querty with a generic pc 105 !!
I made three attemps but each resulted in the same wrong keyboard configuration !
What configuration file is missing or faulty ?
Thanhs for your advices.
I must say that trying to set the correct keyboard using system config did not change the situation.

Thats odd indeed. Can you try to correct the settings with systemsettings ?
Calamares by default writes its keyboard configuration to the /etc/default/keyboard file. Can you attach its contents here.

Here it is :
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="macbook79"
XKBLAYOUT="fr"
XKBVARIANT="mac"
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_alt"
BACKSPACE="guess"
I can at each session obtain the azerty conf by : setxkbmap fr.
So it seems that at boot the keyboard is not loaded ?
thanks leszek

So that configuration looks totaly ok to me. Its set to fr so it should work.
The only thing I can imagine is something else overwriting that config. Have you checked the systemsettings keyboard layout configuration. Is it maybe set to something else ?
What about the login window ? Is it also using qwerty instead of azerty ?

Yes in systemsettings i moved to the correct Macintosh keyboard :MacBook/MacBook Pro (intl).
The login windows is also using the qwerty layout.
I found that : usr/share/console-setup/keyboard file is not ok :
XKBMODEL=pc105
XKBLAYOUT=us
XKBVARIANT=
XKBOPTIONS=
BACKSPACE=guess
May I correct it ?

Yeah you can try it and see if it makes it work.

Sorry that doesnot work.
The only thing to get it temporarily is : setxkbmap fr. in a console.
After that the keyboard mac is OK.

Very strange indeed then. Please try setting up the correct keyboard layout in systemsettings then. This should at least get you going after the login.

In systemsetting, the only thing i can do is to choose th macintosh keyboard. Wher can I set up the keyboard in fr ?
