| Summary | 0007463: Automation Script for Keyboard settings | ||||
| Description | Hi, please deliver a small config script with kali e.g. /bin/setlang $lang to make it easier to persist a custom language setting. It's annoying to play half an hour with the undocumented part of Kali to get it working! For example: #!/bin/bash isroot=$(id | grep "root"); if [ -z "$isroot" ]; then echo "You're not root.."; exit; fi if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "[usage]: $0 <lang>"; exit; fi # persist for general mapping (doesn't really work!) setxkbmap -layout "$1" localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap "$1" #persist for login screen echo '@reboot setxkbmap -layout "$1" \ @reboot localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap "$1"' >> /etc/crontab # fixes the defaults echo "" > /etc/default/locale echo "LANG=$1.UTF-8" >> /etc/default/locale echo "LC_ALL=$1.UTF-8" >> /etc/default/locale echo "Done with setting the lang to $1"; | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | login mask should provide the right language settings (keyboard mapping) if not it needs to be adjusted.. like German nodeadkeys: z instead of y.. (etc) | ||||

Script is untested !!! Written out of mind |

Have you tried defining your keyboard layout in "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"? Adding the following in the "[Seat:*]" section will do the trick: display-setup-script=setxkbmap de |
|
|
not tried, like in the other report. it's basically the same code but after login or when the lightdm (greeter) starts? Should work like @reboot Thanks for the contribution, if you could set it with a sed script (overwriting the defaults inside the conf by using /bin/setlang), would be fine. ... /bin/setlang <code> would be easier than running 20 commands and adjusting 20 popups :D |
|
|
and it should be possible to make a dir inside the cronjobs dir.. no or only one line needs to be added to crontab... which makes things easier. |
|
|
Since Kali 2022.1 the keyboard layout selector is placed in the top-bar of the login screen. To change the system keyboard setting you need to run (and then reboot): `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` |
