Keyboard Configuratio

Using RO 5.27. Keyboard Setup may have gone wrong. Invalid component ID (0×14) . If I click Continue the configuration page comes up but the settings do not take effect. Can anybody suggest a remedy?

The first thing to check is that you haven’t got anything odd in the “KbdSetup” section of !Boot.Choices.Boot.Predesktop

It should look something like:

|Start RISCOS KbdSetup 0.18 Options
Country UK
|End

The “KbdSetup” plugin itself doesn’t seem to have had any updates since 2013 so is less likely to be the source of the problem.

Ah, that would explain why Vladimir over in https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/11/topics/16573 didn’t get Keyboard Russia after *Configure Country Russia and rebooting!

Surely we ought to have a Default country for KbdSetup that didn’t change the keyboard? That could display in the country drop-down as ‘Default [UK]’ etc. to show you what keyboard is in use.

In my case I think the problem was down to a damaged SD-card. Keyboard Setup works fine on the ArmBook I am using now, which also has RO5.27. I seem to have a duff card-reader as well as a damaged SD-card, and that has been like a firecracker at the vicar’s teaparty. Sorry for all the noise.
