Is this the only wrong key? You could edit the keymap and attach it here? Dunno exactly since I have no japanese keyboard. I switched to language "Japanese" in the boot menu, then I couldn't type x86_64. That's all what I found. Others keys looked fine to my eyes, though. Juergen: Can you please check this? I found that the key mapping is basically OK for the real japanese keyboard. Actually it has more keys than the english one, and they correspond to such letters like underscore. But it's definitely better to map one of two '~' (tilde) keys to underscore. There has been no activity for quite a while and it seems to me that the issue has been resolved I'm closing this bug as WORKSFORME. If you feel this is inappropriate and the bug should remain open, or you have new information which may lead to an actual resolution, please reopen the bug and add the new status. DOESNTWORKFORME. Jürgen? *ping* This defect needs an assignee who understands keyboard layouts in general, and japanese ones in particular. I am neither, sorry. Let me do some 10 minutes guesswork: The only keymap with a j in its name is kbd-1.12/data/keymaps/i386/qwerty/jp106.map It has keycode 11 = zero asciitilde keycode 89 = backslash underscore I'll just give it a try and patch -keycode 11 = zero asciitilde +keycode 11 = zero underscore Submitted to stable. Takashi, please report if this has any effects. Thanks for checking this again - I also forgot completely :p I guess it's better to change keycode 13 + shift (it's actually overbar). But note that you can't fix it in kdb package. As in comment #4, the kdb map is correct for japanese 106 keyboards indeed. The problem is only on the GRUB. Would it be possible to change the keyboard layout only for GRUB? I have a Japanese keyboards here and the 0 key has a tilde above it, so I'm going to remove the kbd patch again. If you want to change the keyboard layout in grub, then talk to snwint, maintainer of the gfxboot package and the gfxmenu grub patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 331025 *** |
