## Re: 606_beta3 observations

I burnt it to a RW-CD i found yesterday. The burn ran through. I wanted to install it, and two PCs (elder ones) decided to give me trouble ( black screen and all, no booting).
Still: as far i can tell the burning did work.

I think I got the keyboard settings to persist after logout/login with the following configs. Clicking on the applet gives the drop-down choices. But if I right-click on the panel applet and select Properties, the applet goes away and can't be added back to the panel until I revert keyboard-layout.xml to its original state (no lines for XkbLayout and XkbVariant).

Code:
  `cat .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <channel name="keyboard-layout" version="1.0">
  <property name="Default" type="empty">
  <property name="XkbDisable" type="bool" value="false"/>
  <property name="XkbLayout" type="string" value="us,gb,de,fr"/>
  <property name="XkbVariant" type="string" value=""/>
  </property>
  </channel>
  `

Code:
  `cat .config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-13223108570.rc
  display_type=1
  group_policy=0
  default_group=0
  never_modify_config=false
  model=pc105
  layouts=us
  variants=
  toggle_option=
  compose_key_position=
  `

Code:
  `cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Keyboard0"
  Driver "kbd"
  Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
  Option "XkbLayout" "us,gb,de,fr"
  Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
  EndSection
  `

Make the settings in the keyboard applet properties before you change keyboard-layout.xml. I set alt-shift to switch layouts in the Properties box. Also set it to manage globally.
I've had this working and broken several times this morning. Sometimes the alt-shift worked, and sometimes not. I'm not sure of what was different when it was working.

New snapshot uploaded today. This will get it if you got yesterday's snapshot.

Code:
  `zsync -i snapshot-20111127_0749.iso http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/refracta/files/6.0.6/snapshot-20111127_1026.iso.zsync`

Yesterday's snapshot had us,gb,de,fr keyboard layouts set in the panel applet, managed per application, but without the edits in the xml file and xorg.conf.
Today's snapshot has us,gb, and de in the panel applet, managed globally, and toggled with alt-shift keys. Edits were made to keyboard-layout.xml and xorg.conf similar to the above examples (with us,gb,de only.) It also has a new boot help page (F5) showing how to change the locale at boot.

Where the hell did the edit button go???
This will work better:

Code:
  `zsync -i snapshot-20111126_0007.iso http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/refracta/files/6.0.6/snapshot-20111127_1026.iso.zsync`
