loadkey Uk defaults to lang ukraine

Open ameeno opened this issue 5 years ago • 8 comments

Hi, I believe UK keymap is British. But the default language selected is Ukraine. Is that normal?

Yes and No, I've tried to preselect the nearest language from the keyboard selection but it seem that don't work for all...

Using localectl list-keymaps I noticed that ukranian keyboard and russian one are kinda the same.

localectl list-keymaps | grep uk                  
atari-uk-falcon
dvorak-uk
mac-uk
sunt5-uk
sunt6-uk
uk

Looking at russian output:

localectl list-keymaps | grep ru
dvorak-ru
ru
ru-cp1251
ru-ms
ru-yawerty
ru1
ru2
ru3
ru4
ru_win
ruwin_alt-CP1251
ruwin_alt-KOI8-R
ruwin_alt-UTF-8
ruwin_alt_sh-UTF-8
ruwin_cplk-CP1251
ruwin_cplk-KOI8-R
ruwin_cplk-UTF-8
ruwin_ct_sh-CP1251
ruwin_ct_sh-KOI8-R
ruwin_ct_sh-UTF-8
ruwin_ctrl-CP1251
ruwin_ctrl-KOI8-R
ruwin_ctrl-UTF-8
sunt5-ru

Hope it helps!

@FredBezies Yeah, it seem it's a good approach

localectl list-keymaps | grep fr_CH
fr_CH
fr_CH-latin1
mac-fr_CH-latin1

It seems good

@ameeno It seems that I did not understand the question, just looking for the keyboard layout... @FredBezies looking at "localectl", I noticed that I used it in the past (It's commented in the code) but it was not available for a while anymore ... It seems like he's back ...

Hi, this is a bug report: whet I select UK as the keymap when installing your script. UK - is for United Kingdom British I am sure

At the locale-gen section, Ukraine is uncommented, the default should be en_GB.utf8

@ameeno My first answer was the good ... I just tested and I noticed the issue ... Now, we'll have to find a way to map "uk" with "en_GB" .... If possible with a generic solution ...

btw layout for ukrainian is "ua" normally

Just to feedback that I tried to install archfi recently; the first install ended up in Ukrainian, as auto-selection for UK install was uk_UA. On the second install, I chose en_GB, which changed nearly everything to English. Home's folder titles were in Ukrainian though.
