Hello ludo, hey guys,
here you go. I took the liberty to anonymize and to skip the package
modules and packages sections.
I realised that when I dont specify WHICH KIND of german keyboard layout
I have, the problem does not occur. That is, if I use the
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "de")), I dont have any problems.
Thus I suppose that there might be something wrong with the spelling of
the specification (compare both commented-out attempts at
specification). Strictly speaking, then, it may not be a bug. But if it
is not a bug, I dont know how specify the specification, since in the
manual the specification consists of only one word (e.g. "fr" "bepo"),
and under /run/current-system/profile/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/, said
keymap is listed as "de-latin1-nodeadkeys".

Hi,
o.ro...@posteo.net skribis:
So I was talking about the keyboard layout all along. Not only was my
locale set to "de_DE.utf8", but my keyboard configuration is set to
"de-latin1-nodeadkeys". Interestingly, the keyboard layout is
different in xorg and xfce than it is in the console (the one I reach
via C-M-Fx, not the terminal emulator). In the console, I have the
qwertz keyboard layout.
Also find the part of my current configuration file (sitting at
/etc/config.scm) which specifies both locale and keyboard layout:
(operating-system
(locale "de_DE.utf8")
(timezone "Europe/Berlin")
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "de" "latin1-nodeadkeys"))
(bootloader
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/sdb")
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
Could you post your complete config file?
The snippet above defines the keyboard layout for the console and for
GRUB, but it does not define the keyboard layout for Xorg/Xfce. For
that you need an extra bit with ‘set-xorg-configuration’ as noted at
<>.
Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
