Hello,
I found PC-BSD 1.5 installer bug and how to fix.
Description:
Can't change keymap in 1.5 installer. Because, setxkbmap(1)
can't work at /usr/local/pcbsd/scripts/PCBSD.SetKeyboard.sh
(After install, keymap changed correctly)
How to fix:
"mkdir -p /var/lib/xkb" in installer OS image.
setxkbmap(1) is depend with /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled.
It symlink of /var/lib/xkb in FreeBSD. But, missing "/var/lib/xkb"
in 1.5 installer. swtxkbmap(1) can't work.
Fix example:
(Run xterm in 1.5 installer)
pcbsd# cat > /dev/null
@ (Type 'Shift_2' with US keymap)
pcbsd# setxkbdmap -model jp106 -layout jp
Error loading new keyboard description (Can't change keymap)
pcbsd# cat > /dev/null
@ (Type 'Shift_2' with US keymap)
pcbsd# mkdir -p /var/lib/xkb
pcbsd# setxkbdmap -model jp106 -layout jp
pcbsd# cat > /dev/null (keymap changed)
" (Type 'Shift_2' with JP keymap)
pcbsd#
regards,
