So now we patched testing and unstable:

http://www.paldo.org/paldo/sources/gdm/gdm-2.24.1-system-keyboard-1.patch.bz2

Fixed in stable as well now.

noticed that. so I was theoretical almost right ...

Final patch:

+{
+ gchar *text, *p, *q;
+ gsize *length;
+ char *result;
+
+ result = NULL;
+ if (g_file_get_contents ("/etc/default/kbd", &text, &length, NULL)) {
+ p = strstr (text, "XKBLAYOUT=");
+ if (p) {
+ p += strlen ("XKBLAYOUT=");
+ q = strchr (p, '\n');
+ if (q) {
+ result = g_strndup (p, q - p);
+ }
+ }
+ g_free (text);
+ }
+
+ if (!result) {
+ result = g_strdup ("ch");
+ }
+
+ return result;
+}

I just tested the live-cd testing build date 19.12.08.
The issue with the keyboard settings is solved now.

Zitat

Original erstellt: 2008-12-17 05:32 von seanix A few days ago, I lost the tap function on the touch pad and a new install two days ago only worked for a day.

This should be fixed now in testing. Please let me know if not.

I never had a tabbing problem. seanix, is it fixed for you now?

Hello gentleman,
thanks for the "good news" about paldo being all patched up again. I will download an updated ISO image tonight and after installing, post back on how it went.
Sorry about making all this extra work for you guys, especially since the other users didn't experience any of the things we did.

I'm happy to be able to use paldo again :-)

"Bis baldo" ;-)

Good news,
I was able to install and am happy to say that everything is back to normal again. The laptop can log on to the network (as it used to) and the keyboard defaults to US layout. YAY
There were more things but I'm happy to say that everthing is back to normal.

One thing I miss from the other distributions are the ability to install gnome themes from gnome-look.org. It would be great if paldo could get the murrine and aurora gtk engines as many of the better looking themes out there depend on one or the other.

How ever, the most important thing is that paldo testing as back to "amazing" again.

Have a merry Christmas all :-)

I know that we fixed the keyboard layout settings, but is the tabbing also fixed for you? I'll look into the engines ...

well seanix. did you ever tried to search for aurora in our repository? it was added mid-december 2008. murrine I added today:

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
sudo upkg-install aurora

Code	[In neuem Fenster öffnen]
sudo upkg-install murrine murrine-themes-install
