[SOLVED] Error: keymaps failed to start 08 March 2023, 18:27:13 Hello, I'm new here in the forum and new to artix. I have just installed artix-community-qt-openrc-20230215-x86_64 in an old macmini andduring the first boot it gets stuck on an error like:keymaps | * Loading key mappings [gb] ...keymaps |loadkeys: Unable to open file: pt: No such file or directorykeymaps | * Error loading key mappings [keymaps | * ERROR: keymaps failed to startI see a similar thread in the link below, but I don't understand what was done in order to fix this.https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3035.0.htmlEDIT:I changed 'gb' to 'us' inside /etc/conf.d/keymapsand the error is goneBut the boot is still stuck, now without any error...Can somebody help?

Re: Error: keymaps failed to start Reply #1 – 08 March 2023, 19:34:24 Have a look in /etc/conf.d/keymapsedit the line Code: [Select]keymap="gb"toCode: [Select]keymap="uk"That is assuming you want a United Kingdom keyboard layout?I've come across this bug before. I thought it was gone but clearly not in this case. It doesn't help that that in some places / configs in Linux it's 'gb' and in others 'uk'.Edit:Oh and welcome
