<title>Methods</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you set a new system locale all old system locale settings will be dropped and the new
|
|
settings will be saved to disk. The locale will also be passed to the system manager, and subsequently started
|
|
daemons will inherit the new system locale. Note that already running daemons will not learn about the
|
|
new value.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> method may be used to set the key mapping for the
|
|
virtual console. Similarly, <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> may be used to set the default key
|
|
mapping of any X11 servers.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> instantly applies the new key mapping to the
|
|
console, while <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> simply sets a default that may be used by later
|
|
sessions.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The boolean argument <varname>convert</varname> may be set to optionally convert the console
|
|
keyboard configuration to X11 keyboard mappings and vice versa. If true and
|
|
<function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> is used, the nearest X11 keyboard setting for the chosen
|
|
console setting is set. If true and <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> is used, the nearest console
|
|
keyboard setting for the chosen X11 setting is set. Hence, it is usually sufficient to call only one of the
|
|
two functions.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For graphical UIs that need to set the system keyboard mapping simply invoke
|
|
<function>SetX11Keyboard()</function>, set <varname>convert=true</varname> and ignore
|
|
<function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Use the empty string for the keymap parameters you wish not to set.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <varname>interactive</varname> boolean parameters can be used to control whether
|
|
<ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/">polkit</ulink>
|
|
should interactively ask the user for authentication credentials if required.</para>

<title>Signals</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Whenever the system locale or keymap is changed via the daemon,
|
|
<function>PropertyChanged</function> signals are sent out to which clients can subscribe.</para>

|
|
<para>The system locale is shown in the <varname>Locale</varname> property. It is an array containing
|
|
environment-variable-assignment-like strings. The following strings are known:
|
|
<varname>LANG=</varname>, <varname>LC_CTYPE=</varname>, <varname>LC_NUMERIC=</varname>,
|
|
<varname>LC_TIME=</varname>, <varname>LC_COLLATE=</varname>, <varname>LC_MONETARY=</varname>,
|
|
<varname>LC_MESSAGES=</varname>, <varname>LC_PAPER=</varname>, <varname>LC_NAME=</varname>,
|
|
<varname>LC_ADDRESS=</varname>, <varname>LC_TELEPHONE=</varname>, <varname>LC_MEASUREMENT=</varname>,
|
|
<varname>LC_IDENTIFICATION=</varname>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <varname>X11Layout</varname>, <varname>X11Model</varname>, <varname>X11Variant</varname>, and
|
|
<varname>X11Options</varname> properties show values configurable with
|
|
<function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> described above (or <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function>
|
|
with <varname>convert=true</varname>). The <varname>VConsoleKeymap</varname> and
|
|
<varname>VConsoleKeymapToggle</varname> properties show values configurable with
|
|
<function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> (or <function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> with
|
|
<varname>convert=true</varname>).</para>

<title>Security</title>

|
|
<para>Changing the system locale or keymap using this interface is authenticated via polkit. The
|
|
polkit action for <function>SetLocale()</function> is
|
|
<constant>org.freedesktop.locale1.set-locale</constant>. The polkit action for
|
|
<function>SetX11Keyboard()</function> and <function>SetVConsoleKeyboard()</function> is
|
|
<constant>org.freedesktop.locale1.set-keyboard</constant>.</para>
