Keyboard inactive when log in GUI, but active on Console, any command line ??
Hi there !
First, thanks to all who share their solutions. As a newbie, I will share first this problem (!) After trying to change the keyboard language (Msi Wind 100+, SUSE 10.0) with Yast, reboot and now, the keyboard is inactive when log in GUI (so I cannot log in), but with CTRL + ALT + F2, the keyboard is active on Console. Do you know a command line to "wake up" the keyboard for log in into GUI ?? Please be very explicit, because I am not familiar at all with command line. |

if you are in Shell i.e. ( when you press ALT + CTRL + F2 ) after logging in, type starx to start GUI. you have to open this file /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will find the section Quote:
Keyboard type is "us". Now change that text with your own laptop information. or else post your laptop company, type , model. |
You can edit that file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" with super user mode.

Hi Raju ,
In Shell, I log in as root user, type startx. Then this lines appear : xauth : creating new authority file/root/.serverauth.3229 Fatal server error : Server is already active for display 0 Il this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. Please consult the X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key giving up /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit : unable to connect to X server /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit : No such process (errno 3) : Server error. then it keeps writing theses successive lines every minute..... rt_ioctl_giwscan.16(16)BSS returned, data length = 1528 rt_ioctl_giwscan.11(11)BSS returned, data length = 1065 rt_ioctl_giwscan.7(7)BSS returned, data length = 732 rt_ioctl_giwscan.15(15)BSS returned, data length = 1530 more ideas ? |
If you are unable to get GUI for superuser, leave it. We don't need GUI. We can make it using command mode itself.
login as SuperUser in command mode. Code:
$su Quote:
or else if your system directly connected to internet, follow this step Code:
sudo yast2 --install x11-input-synaptics |
ok.
I follow the steps and sudo yast2 --install x11-input-synaptics download ok. but, Yast is looking to access installation media (CD), but cannot because I do not have cd reader. Any other step to bypass this one .. ? |
I mentioned two types of solutions,
have you followed first steps ? Code:
$login:<name> Quote:

yeah, CTRL+Alt+F2 Console, after login in su, I edit the line :
Option "XkbModel" "pc104" to (as you suggest) Option "XkbModel" "microsoft natural" the problem is tha I dont know how to save and quit (in CLI)... I reboot in CTRL+Alt+F7, by clicking "reboot" in the GUI log in menu. When I check again the Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection My editing "microsoft natural" has not saved. The line is still unchanged. |
after going into Vi editor
- press "i" to insert . - press "esc" after modifying the data , then your cursor goes to end of the page - type ":wq" to save. |
ok.
I did exactly - press "i" to insert . edit the line Option "XkbModel" "microsoft natural" at the end of the page - type ":wq" to save. recording (flashy) appear. then after ..? |
Is your screen refreshed after change of keyboard type ?
if yes, then your keyboard model is changed. |
after recording,
in CTRL + ALT F1 Console , I write ; # rug refresh then a red bar apprear ... Refreshing services .. 100% Succesfully refreshed. #reboot when i repeat the steps : $login:<name> password: $su password: #vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us, ca, fr" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" ... editing was not saved ?? |
sorry, it seems that each step has a "stone" for me ... thanks for your patience.
Is there any other CLI, more "deadly", that could still save me from a "Restore factory Settings" that erase all data ...? |

after editing in vi editor, it is better to check there it self. Code:
$grep XkbLayout /etc/X11/xorg.conf Quote:
Code:
$grep XkbModel /etc/X11/xorg.conf Quote:

I cannot get it saved ...
On another forum, a user suggests to look at logs for Xorg : less /var/log/Xorg.0.log Then I get many worrying messages: about 20 lines mention : (WW) The directory "/usr//X11R6/lib/X11/fonts ... does not exists. Entry deleted from the path. Further in the list; (WW) Warning, couldn't open module rfbkeyb (II) UnloadModule : "rfbkeyb" (EE) Failed to load module : "rfbkeyb" (module does not exist, 0) Should I reinstalled directories for Xorg ?? I only have factory version of openSuSe 10.0, no cd reader, but I can connect to Internet. |
