Add DAS key variant to installer
Add DAS key variant to installer
Could you add the DAS variation to Finnish keyboard layout list? Even though it is quite simple to add manually, it is always nicer when it can be done already in install process like it is possible in Ubuntu and also is no need to try to remember the qwerty layout.

Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
We just updated the installer with a keyboard selection tool that offers every selectionary provided by the keyboard-configuration package. So make sure you update the installer before running an install to see the change.
Code: Select all

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
You need first to download python-file from that site, then execute it with python so the keymap files are created, then if it isn't appeared to list of keymaps, reboot and then change layout from keyboard settings. So, not a big deal, but before it with QWERTY, all inputs are like "bsllhykn".

Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
I checked that, and DAS wasn't yet in list, but when I installed manually and relogged, it appeared there.dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 6:15 am We just updated the installer with a keyboard selection tool that offers every selectionary provided by the keyboard-configuration package.

Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
I'm looking into this. DAS layout is described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fi already but it doesn't show up in keyboard layout selection. I think there's something up with that. See "Finnish (DAS)" section toward end of file below:

I checked, unless I'm wrong, it does not appear to be available in Ubuntu either anymore. This would support the idea that there's something wrong with this file because most likely they're the same or of similar origin in both distributions. ekeimaja do you remember the last version of Ubuntu you used where this keyboard layout option was available in the installer?

Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
In 16.04 it was included, and I thought they had removed it either on purpose or by accident from 18.04, but if it is about the file, then it needs to be fixed.

Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
Thanks, I'll let you know when I know more.
Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
Okay, I did a little research and it looks like the DAS layout was removed from the default selection in 2016 by the freedesktop.org xkeyboard-config developers. See this commit:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard- ... ff5da809d5
The reason for this appears to have been lack of Unicode support and the maintainer's inability to contact the original developer. Please see this mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/a/listserv.ba ... J-ioK89Ajo
Therefore, it is unlikely this keyboard layout will be added to the default selection again, but you are welcome to file a bug through the appropriate channels.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug. ... ard-config
So it's not showing up here because the installer, along with many(all?) other applications such as the xfce keyboard layout tool, do not display the "extra" options.dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 6:15 am We just updated the installer with a keyboard selection tool that offers every selectionary provided by the keyboard-configuration package
Re: Add DAS key variant to installer
The good news is you should be able to use
to set up das from now on without having to use the python script. It's already included in any modern system, I would expect
Code: Select all
setxkbmap -layout fi -variant das
