[BUG] Bulgarian input produces arabic text?

[karamanliev]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

This problem was not the case with kasm vnc. It started after the addition of selkies.

I'm a bulgarian and have a phonetic keyboard layout, besides the english one. When I try to write in bulgarian arabic letters are produced instead. I've tried to set -e LC_ALL=bg_BG.UTF-8 or explicitly -e LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 but it doesn't seem like it does much. By setting -e LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 I was able to produce bulgarian keyboard, but then english stops working, like at all. I'm using vim mode, which makes it even more complicated - when using the russian LC_ALL all the keymaps are shuffled.

Expected Behavior

Switch to bulgarian language - bulgarian (cyrillic) letters are produced.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run docker container
2. Try to write in bulgarian
3. Arabic letters are produced

Environment

- OS:Debian 12
- How docker service was installed: Proxmox LXC container

Did you try without passing a locale ? Just checking because I pass a smoke test. I never get arabic.

bulgarian.mp4

I am asking because we added this early on for keyboard mapping but it might be getting in the way of stuff working.

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-baseimage-selkies/blob/master/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-de/run#L11-L65

[thelamer]

Just realized you are not a native English speaker most likely I mean what happens when you do not pass LC_ALL=bg_BG.UTF-8 at all does that work for you.
I likely need to remove all the automatic keymap stuff in the de startup script I linked.

[karamanliev]

Yeah, I tried - with no luck, unfortunately. It is very strange that it's working fine for you.

I thought that it's possible to be local OS related problem, but I'm mainly working on a Linux PC and I just tested it on my macbook, but still - typing in bulgarian produces arabic letters. So I guess this one can be excluded.

[thelamer]

I could not replicate with the locale set, but it may be a situation where your home directory /config has keymapping stuff setup in it. (xprofile erc)

As a test rip out the volumes

    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./vaults:/vaults

Along with removing the LC_ALL variable.

If that works it means the whole system of using setxkbmap on init is broken and I need to remove it. All of my testing is without setting a locale and it works, this keymap setting stuff was layered onto the LC_ALL which is only supposed to localize the applications inside the containers.

Make sense ?

[thelamer]

also this is concerning this should not be happening

I removed the notes and config volumes and started clean but the effect was the same.
I saw these lines in the logs too, they might be related, any idea where they are coming from and why?

output.mp4

Edit: I just tried running the same compose file on my local PC (this one is running from a server) and it works as expected, so I'm starting to suspect that it might be related with the fact that this is running from an unprivileged lxc container which doesn't have access to the host /dev/input

Edit 2: I waste few hours trying to fix this, but I'm starting to think that it just won't work in an unprivileged lxc container, so I give up.

[thelamer]

I have another user that is doing lxc as well. We do not test multi layered container models like this. You can try enabling nesting and keyctl in your lxc settings to make it more like real docker.
