Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages After upgrading from 4.2.0 (as I recall) to 4.2.2, keyboard configuration module is gone and the keyboard repeat rate and repeat delay are reset from my custom preferences to some standard value. 'Keyboard & Mouse' category now contains these items: * Mouse * Joystick * Standard Keyboard Shortcuts * Global Keyboard Shortcuts None allows me to adjust keyboard repeat rate and delay. Maybe something went wrong during the update. Debian also fired up its own helper to migrate settings from ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde. For me this is a huge annoyance (up to a point of switching to GNOME, hopefully not for long), because I use keyboard a lot.
I have noticed this as well. I don't use the keyboard settings often but I would like to be able to automatically activate num lock at the start of my KDE session.
This seems to be a packaging issue. Could you try reinstalling your KDE packages? Are they up to date? You can try with the shell command "kcmshell4 keyboard", this should bring the Keyboard settings (without the whole SystemSettings). If it doesn't work, then the Keyboard configuration module is not present (it was not compiled or not properly packaged/installed) Thanks
"kcmshell4 keyboard" did nothing. However, I didn't consider that this might be a Kubuntu packaging issue. That makes sense. ... now I need to figure out where to report that. :)
