Can you test, to see if this is just a Turkish language/keyboard problem, and install using American English/keyboard? I will check with a turkish install soon too.

Yes, I could install with us keymap choice. Now I am sending this entry from the Chakra. But I am not sure this problem is related to keymap setting. You should check too.

There has been a problem with Turkish keyboard before, I will try to test, but unfortunately, I don't have a Turkish keyboard.

For turkish we have this line in syslinux:

APPEND initrd=larch.img quiet lang=tr nonfree=no xdriver=no xdisplay=old

And in chakra-initscripts it is:

# Turkish
LOCALE="tr_TR.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Istanbul"
KEYMAP="tr"
XKEYMAP="trq"
# add HAL config for Xorg input stuff
cp -f /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
sed -i "/input.xkb.layout/ s/us/"tr"/" /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
;;

Can you guys check if that is correct or not.

Please read also this: http://chakra-project.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?pid=19134#p19134

Those settings work here for all the settings I can test. Only thing I can not test is a Turkish keyboard, the rest, tr_TR.utf8, Istanbul, language work fine.

Hi, again I tested chakra-0.2.75.0-i686.iso today. As i said before my english isn't good. I have still this problem.
As i could understand this issue isn't only turkish keymap problem. There is something missing that may be sym link or xmodmap, loadkeys command problem etc. Tribe can't completely recognize under /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ keymaps. But it can only change ->layouts<- (not variants) in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst

accepted only layouts -> http://pastebin.ca/1974667

Please note that cmd outputs

[root@chakra live]# setxkbmap uk
Error loading new keyboard description
[root@chakra live]# setxkbmap gb

[root@chakra live]# setxkbmap trq
Error loading new keyboard description
[root@chakra live]# setxkbmap tr -->This command solved my problem but you sould find generally solution than a workaround for other variants.

I'm not good at technical issues but the following links and comments may be useful for you

....Another issue I had: the locale was correct, but the keymap wasn’t. Because I have quite a lot of experience with Arch, I knew I had to edit /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi, but I can’t imagine normal users knowing about this. .......

.....I have had the same problem, and in /var/log/kdm.log I could see that my problem was that /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled/ is pointing (symbolic link) to /var/lib/xkb/, but this directory didn't exist. I have created and now it works.
Hope it helps. Regards,

Good works, Regards

tuncay, could you please test the latest Chakra ISO and check whether or not you can still reproduce the issue?

Theoricallly it is fixed but nobody reports if it is working or no. So unless somebody reports a correct working, right now i take it as fixed.
