Summary | 0007441: keyboard layout (language changer) | ||||
Description | Upgrade to the last version. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Upgrade to the last version. | ||||
Thank you for your interest in Kali but this is not a bug report. It looks like that you need help and guidance to perform some task. We have community support forums on https://forums.kali.org/ or on IRC with the #kali-linux channel on irc.oftc.net), please post your questions there. However, FWIW, the button combination you use needs to be set. Once you set it to 'ALT+SHIFT' you should have no issues. You can set it in the keyboard language settings. |
|
Thanks for your explanation but I'm not a new computer user. I have worked with these systems for almost twenty years, so I know how to switch languages using the keyboard. Unfortunately, I have seen many times recently that the information entered is not checked correctly by the review team. There is an issue. Let me give you an example. If you set up the English and the Arabic keyboard layout in the latest version of Kali, the switcher will not work correctly. The text will be in English as soon as you type. By pressing the change language key, no change will occur. You have to do it twice to switch to the second language. It is a problem because to change the keyboard layout, you need to press the keys once. Also, the language icon at the top of the screen has to be changed, but it is no change. How can I send you the screen record of this issue? |
|
I have just tried to reproduce this again and unfortunately am unable to have the issue that you have stated. You can use Vimeo to share what you are seeing. |

It's on the Wayland. I was tasted on the Wayland. But on the Gnome Xorg, everything is fine. Are you on the Wayland or Xorg? |
|
Out of curiosity: did you switch to Wayland, or was it like that by default? The background story is that Kali goes with Xorg by default. However for a few days or weeks, due to a misconfiguration Wayland became the default for GNOME desktop. It could be that you picked a Kali weekly image at this moment, or maybe an update of your kali-rolling install switched the default to Wayland. But we fixed that, so if you update you should be back to using Xorg. Then the problem might just go away? |
|
I updated Kali. -5.14.0-kali2-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 5.14.9-2kali1 (2021-10-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux- |
|
Good to hear that! I'm closing this issue then. Thanks! |
|
OK, Thank you but Please note that there is still the issue on the Wayland. |
|
Then you'll need to submit the issue to the upstream package. We are not the developers of Wayland, and for now Kali does not officially support it. |
