Description

It looks like s-c-p is failing to update the xorg-dcon.conf file with a new keyboard setting. It's also not updating (or not able to update) /etc/sysconfig/{keyboard,i18n}.

I see it more like one more different option to be implemented in the panel, I think that It should be definitely possible to have laptop with language that's different from the one of the keyboard...

This was not the intention. The control panel does only update the language (~/.i18n). Not sure this should be coupled anyhow.

I would mark this wontfix for now.

we might add a separate GUI section - but not 8.2

follow-up: ↓ 9   Changed 5 years ago by mstone

sugar-control-panel -s language <lang> SHOULD set LANG and MUST NOT change the keyboard setting. We agree that it would be valuable to be able to change the keyboard setting via customization key or via a GRAPHICAL control panel (since console-based ones are dangerous); however, these are separate issues and should be recorded as such.

Replying to mstone:

sugar-control-panel -s language <lang> SHOULD set LANG and MUST NOT change the keyboard setting. We agree that it would be valuable to be able to change the keyboard setting via customization key or via a GRAPHICAL control panel (since console-based ones are dangerous); however, these are separate issues and should be recorded as such.

The 10.1.x and 11.2.0 builds still do not change the keyboard with the display language, and there are cases where the two are intentionally different.

11.2.0 does have a keyboard-specific control panel (although we still need to fix it to work properly on XOs) separate from the display language controls, so we can probably safely close this ticket.
