Subject: live-config: keyboard configuration in live-build image now working

Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2017 23:49:15 +0100

Package: live-config
Version: 5.20170112
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Hello,

I tried to build a customized live image with live-build. To
configure my keyboard I'm using the following boot append options:

locales=de_DE.UTF-8 timezone=Europe/Berlin keyboard-model=pc105 keyboard-layouts=de

I found these options in the man page.

They have no effect when I boot my CD. If I execute

dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive console-tools

my keyboard is working. I additionally booted a stock live CDs using the above params -
without success either. So I think it's a bug.

Kind regards

Dieter

Hello

Please see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818065
One way to fix it, is adding /etc/default/keyboard and running the console-setup.sh in hook (theory, I haven't tested it).

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

I had the same issue.
Running a live-build image, nothing worked to setup the keyboard layout.

I found out that my image contained /etc/console-setup/cached_* files.
What really helped was adding a hook in live-build to remove those files, before the
image was built.

$ cat config/hooks/live/0900-cleanup.hook.chroot
#!/bin/sh
rm -f -- /etc/console-setup/cached_*


Cheers

Can you send the output of

ls --full-time /etc/console-setup/cached* /etc/default/console-setup /etc/default/keyboard

If the times of the cached files are more recent than the times of the 
configuration files, then console-setup won't look at the configuration 
files at all.

I don't know how live-config works but isn't the script 
components/0150-keyboard-configuration (I am looking at the source 
package of live-config) supposed to edit /etc/default/keyboard?  And if 
this is so, then how it is possible for the cached files to be more 
recent than /etc/default/keyboard?

This is from a configuration where I hard coded the two files in
/etc/default/ and did not set the keyboard parameters elsewhere.
Files in /etc/default/ aren't overwritten in the booted system (i.e.
looks same in booted system):

Same image, but this time I set on kernel command line:

The file date is newer, still keyboard layout not set.

I made a new image, without the hard coded keyboard + console-setup files.

Contents in squashfs:
"keyboard" has XKBLAYOUT="us", so not what I want.

It appears to me that "Set console font and keymap" is done before
live-config regenerates the files.

Funny thing is, I also tried to run "dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive
console-setup" from scripts (config hook or from an auto-login-script).
Didn't work either.
