Keyboard layout keeps reverting to Us every reboot.

Hi everybody!

Sorry, if this question has been covered before, I could not find it on this forum.

After some updates (I suppose) now my keyboard layout keeps reverting to default us keyboard layout every time I reboot. Normally on settings it is set to tr (turkish) first and the us the  2nd.

I have to type "setxkbmap tr" on terminal everytime I reboot to fix it and its annoying.
I looked up various linux and debian pages for remedies and nothing seems to be working (changing keyboard configuration file, deleting us layout here and there...)

Any idea to fix this bug

uname output:

5.10.0-20-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.158-2
KDE Plazma Gemini

Thank you...

Re: Keyboard layout keeps reverting to Us every reboot.

Look for a line beginning with XKBLAYOUT in the file /etc/default/keyboard and keep only ="tr" if it looks like ="us,tr".
You'll need super-user rights to edit it (for example, if you use nano: $sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard).

Hello
Sorry it has been a long time

The file you mention is just like this

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="tr"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_space_toggle"

BACKSPACE="guess"

What do you suggest

Re: Keyboard layout keeps reverting to Us every reboot.

Do you see a small button on the login screen enabling to choose a keyboard layout?
Do you also have the same setting (tr) in your desktop (Plasma or Trinity) configuration?
