Weirdness on keyboard layouts after docking

Help
1

Hi :wave:

I have the following config:

  services.xserver = {
    enable = true;
    layout = "tr";
    xkbVariant = ""; < this line was not here before, I added it to test, but it also didn't work

Problem 1: Whenever I dock my laptop, the keyboard layout changes the variant. Here is what it’s supposed to be (and how it is after non-docked boot):

~> setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc104
layout:     tr

Here is how it is after docking:

~> setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc104
layout:     tr
variant:    intl
options:    terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

Problem 2: When I un-dock the laptop, I see this:

~> setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc101
layout:     us
variant:    intl
options:    terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

But that is wrong, the layout is actually completely OK, no-variant TR. wut :question:

Now I have to run setxkbmap tr every time after docking.
Could you give any hints that I can have a stable non-varianted keyboard layout? :eyes:

Thanks.

What laptop/dock are you using?

Dell XPS 13 with Dell wd19tb dock. There is an attached external keyboard as usual.

I got the same error again :smiley: No idea why it started randomly after 24.05 switch.
Anyway it was “solved” by adding this value to environment variables, no idea why would any app cares but still… Adding here as an eventual resolution.

  environment.variables = {
    XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT = "tr";
    XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT= "";
};
