I change the keyboard from "Customize Keybord" in the Session Manager to "Norwegian" and do a "Save Current Settings". But the next time I start a session I have US keyboard mapping again. Olav

| 780.1 | Not a fix but a workaround ... | 42441::BELL | Screwing the inscrutable | Tue May 16 1989 13:23 | 21 |
Olav,
I found the same problem trying to keep my British keyboard
map across sessions. As the "Save Current Settings" seems to have
a problem in it, I stuff the corresponding value directly into
the server logical name from SYSTARTUP_V5.COM :
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP
$ Wait 00:02:00 ! Allow DECwindows to *really* start
$ Define/exec/table=DECW$SERVER0_TABLE -
DECW$DEFAULT_KEYBOARD_MAP BRITISH_LK201LE_DP ! Define kbd map
$!
You'll have to substitute your favourite keymap for BRITISH_LK201LE_DP,
one of NORWEGIAN_LK201LN_DP/LK201RN_DP/LK201LN_TW/LK201RN_TW.
You also have to redefine it if/when the server dies [ a definite
"when" on my system :-( ]

| 780.2 | OK on VMS | 51887::OLAV | Do it in parallel! | Tue May 16 1989 16:56 | 5 |
I have never had this problem on VMS, but on Ultrix with UWS V2.0 I can't save the keyboard settings. Are there any workaround for UWS? Olav | |||||
| 780.3 | fixed in next version | SMURF::HOFFMAN | anywhere in the universe | Wed May 17 1989 20:42 | 4 |
Try UWS V2.1 when available.

re: .3
What baselevel of UWS 2.1 will contain that fix? I've been running
UWS 2.1 FT (BL 12 i think) but the problem is still there.

| 780.5 | try it with UWS SDC and report the problem | SMURF::HOFFMAN | anywhere in the universe | Thu May 18 1989 16:52 | 16 |
Looking through my log of changes made to UWS V2.1 since Field Test,
I don't see any mention of a fix to the Session Manager in the area
of Saving Keyboard Customization. So, that means that it probably
didn't get fixed, at least since then. You might try it in the
SDC version anyway when it becomes available. Some of us already
have internal versions with the equivalent software, so maybe someone
can attempt to reproduce the problem. Or, you could reply with a
clear procedure for reproducing it and I can give it a try.
The right way to handle all this, of course, is to write a
bug report. Maybe someone did, but I am not aware of this problem
being reported in our QAR/SPR data base.
