It's not clear to me at all what you're saying the problem is. Can you log in and boot into the graphical environment? Are you saying the keybinds don't work? Is it just the terminal keybinds or all of them? I.e. for example, can you run dmenu mod+d
?
There's a chance that the terminal is broken after a recent update. Can you run dmenu to open xfce-term, then run st from there and see if it outputs an error?

Sorry, to be clear:
- can login to i3 environment
- no key-chords (keybinds) work, nothing with
mod
, so I can't run dmenu - except I can get into the console via
ctrl-alt-F2
from larbs.
- Okay. I assume you've been logging in in the graphical environment/display manager? In that case, could you make sure you've logged off and then log in via
ctrl-alt-F2
or something, then runstartx
and see if the result is the same. - Either way, open up
~/.scripts/tools/remaps
and try one of the following:
a. Comment out thesetxkbmap
line and uncomment the commented one near it. (try the graphical environment again)
b. Do the above, plus remove thexcape
line. I suspectxcape
could be causing the problem here.

It appeared to me as though the mod key wasn't working when in actual fact the terminal wasn't installed so mod+enter didn't do anything so it appears that way boy
My fix was to install st and then set a var within .bashrc something like TERMINAL=st hopefully this helps

I was unable to get to this, I'm back.

Neither 1. or 2. worked, and I wonder if there is something else wrong. I have a dual screen, and the desktop image is messed up on screen#1, fwiw.
I have looked at .profile, some other dotfiles, and skimmed the scripts to see if anything else could cause this. Nothing obvious, but I am fairly noob.
@alfbarb thanks, but I did set TERMINAL='xfce-terminal'
in .profile
, so that should not be an issue afaik.
As well, I would expect at least something to work, even if it were the terminal
EDIT: oh, and when I am in console the keyboard is a weird layout, know idea where that comes from, ie. #
is at the ~/`
key, /
key is some accented e
from larbs.
Uh, okay. What is your system default keyboard? Did you set any keyboard-related settings in Manjaro's GUI?
Could you comment out the
sudo -n loadkeys ~/.scripts/ttymaps.kmap 2>/dev/null
line at the end of ~/.profile
and see if that rectifies things? I'm really confused by this problem at this point.
from larbs.
Default is applealu_ansi
, apple keyboard, selected with the install wizard. Manjaro did a good job; the special keys for audio worked right out-of-the-box for both i3 and xfce. I didn't need to do a thing.
sudo -n loadkeys ~/.scripts/ttymaps.kmap 2>/dev/null
Didn't work.
I am wondering if it has something to do with installing i3 edition --> xfce4 packages --> LARBS. Some conflict somewhere that keeps login scripts from completing or something?
fyi right now I'm using ~/i3/config
that came with manjaro, but the problem was the same if I used your ~/config/i3/config
.
I'll poke around more tomorrow.

I had no idea that Apple keyboards required some special keyboard settings. Not surprised knowing them though. After doing a little reading it seems to me that that is nearly certainly exactly what your problem is.
You can refer to the Arch Wiki article on Apple Keyboards which along with the linked articles might push you in the direction of solving this, but I can't backseat drive you through a solution because I'm not familiar enough with them. It probably just has to do with the Super key not mapping properly, being some different Mod button.
If the solution is something easy like that, I can add a fix, but if fixing the solution involves totally rewriting the i3 config to use unreadable keycodes, I'm not so interested.
from larbs.
Tried another plain keyboard. Same problem. Something else is going on.
(nb I changed setxkbmap
for this keyboard)
I am randomly poking at dotfiles, scripts, and looking at larbs.sh to see what happened. Everything was working prior, but I also did system updates along the way, fwiw.
I will retry larbs.sh see what it does.
then I will look at doing some reinstall since I don't know enough to pinpoint the problem.
from larbs.
I've installed LARBS on Manjaro i3 now and it works perfectly. This is of course without a special keyboard and without installing xfce first. I suppose xfce could be the genesis of the problem as well but I can't estimate the problem.

Thanks for putting in this effort Luke.
I will work on it this weekend and get some VMs up as well.
from larbs.
Finally,
I tested on a new account and VM (with and without xfce-manjaro-*). Worked in all cases.
I updated larbs script and re-ran. Worked.
No idea what it was, but see @chris post below for possible cause
forum.manjaro.org
Thanks again for the help, and also for the good content you put out. Much appreciated.
