On one of my machines (a laptop) the system starts up with a US keyboard layout whenever I login. My locale looks like:
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_GB.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=
If I go to System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Layouts, where I have added gb English(UK), and uncheck Configure layouts and then re-check it the system adopts the UK keyboard layout, but only for the current session.
I have not been able to find where the global settings are kept (most postings on the internet refer to /etc/default/locale which openSuSE doesn’t use).
I’d be grateful if someone could tell me how I can get the UK keyboard layout to stick.
