Hello, I am new here.
I have just flashed a new flash drive with the latest runnit artix linux installation file. No problem booting (UEFI mode). Everything seems fine, I cannot see any errors.
But when I try to change the keyboard layout, I am greeted with the error message:
$ sudo loadkeys fr-bepo
unknown keysym 'endash'
lk_add_key called with bad keycode -1
$
The prospect of going through the entire installation without using the keyboard layout I am used to is far from ideal. I have never seen this error in the many archlinux installations I have done.
Also, a couple of weeks ago I installed artix linux without this problem, on the exact same rig.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. I can provide more information on my system but I'm not sure what is relevant so please ask.
Hi,
Try set the locale in your rc (.zshrc or .bashrc) dot file, my case I'm using .zshenv:
### locale
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE="C"

Thank you for your reply, exporting the variables changed nothing. Same error.
If it helps to know, using loadkeys works with some layouts. e.g. fr and us
I've managed to solve the problem by using
sudo loadkeys -u fr-bepo
I still get a warning but it seems to work, it seems to be a problem with unicode characters on the bépo keyboard layout.
