Title:
Usability: "localectl set-x11-keymap" doesn't work in mantic
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On the raspi arm64 server image, I used to use cloud-init's keyboard
module to set my keyboard to GB by default. However, on mantic
localectl (which the keyboard module uses) is now reporting:
$ localectl set-x11-keymap gb pc105
Setting X11 and console keymaps is not supported in Debian
So ... how do I get my £ key by default now? Or should this be filed
against systemd as well?
=== update ====
cloud-init 23.3 release now writes /etc/default/keyboard directly instead of calling: localectl set-x11-keymap. After setting keymap/layout, cloud-init also runs: systemctl restart console-setup.
The remaining question is do we want to improve usability of the error
message or hints/docs for admins describing how to set up
keymap/layout?
