Introduction
In this article, we will discuss the issue of not being able to set two keyboard layouts in Awesome WM version 4.3 on Debian 12. We will cover the key concepts related to this problem and provide a detailed context to help you understand and solve the issue.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, it is assumed that you have a working installation of Awesome WM version 4.3 on Debian 12 and that you have attempted to set up two keyboard layouts without success.
Investigating the Problem
The first step in solving this problem is to investigate the configuration file for Awesome WM. The configuration file is typically located in the ~/.config/awesome/ directory and is named rc.lua.
In this configuration file, you can specify the keyboard layouts that you want to use. For example, to use both French and English layouts, you can add the following code to the configuration file:
Checking the Configuration File
If you have already added this code to your configuration file and are still experiencing issues, it is possible that the configuration file is not being loaded correctly. To check this, you can add a debug statement to the configuration file to print out the current keyboard layout.
Checking the System Logs
If the configuration file is being loaded correctly, it is possible that there are errors or warnings being generated by Awesome WM. To check this, you can view the system logs for Awesome WM.
Solving the Problem
If you have determined that the configuration file is being loaded correctly and there are no errors or warnings in the system logs, it is possible that the issue is related to the version of Debian that you are using. Debian 12 is not yet released, so it is possible that there are bugs or issues related to keyboard layouts in the current version of Debian.
In this case, it is recommended that you wait for the release of Debian 12 and try again. If the issue persists, you can try using a different version of Debian or a different window manager.
