Bug 190435

Reassigning bug

Hi Andriy

Is it ok to assign those bugs about kcm_keyboard_layout to you?

Michael, yes I guess it's mine.

Nadav, do you also use layouts? Are they also not set?

i use english (us) and hebrew (il)
switching between them works fine.

but i know the model is not set by trying to use the "End" key on my number "1" keypad keyboard which does not work until i issue "setxkbmap -model hpdv5".

when i open the Keyboard layout settings dialog,
here is what i see in the "command:" text box:
setxkbmap -model hpdv5 -layout us,il -variant ,

the keyboard model and layouts are set at the same time so if layouts work ok after login, it means that something is overriding your key maps

do you have any xmodmap files in you home or /etc directories?

i used to have only
xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Meta_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume"
xmodmap -e "keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume"
xmodmap -e "keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute"

in the .kde4/Autostart/setp.sh file that gets executed on kde's startup.

i added :
setxkbmap -model hpdv5
but it does not seem to have any affect. (funny)

plus, here are the errors from .session-errors file in my user's folder:

there's no errors in your log, everything is working fine, and as you pointed the script from Autostart does not hlep, so the only explanation I have is that something is overriding your keyboard bindings, xmodmap is actaully run on every kxkb init (including when you hit Apply button) so it should not be the issue, but you may try to temporarily renmae all xmodmap config files you have
if that does not help you'll have to fine the program which messes with your keys...

thanks :-) i will look into it.

Is it still a problem?

solved. (not sure on which upgrade) 
kde 4.4.3 (debian sid)
