From 479414e1c9e13ddce9e0c8741eb9f50dff62e333 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Othacehe Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2018 21:53:40 +0900 Subject: installer: keymap: Do not fail on non-kmscon terminals. kmscon-update-keymap fails on non kmscon terminals because KEYMAP_UPDATE environment variable is not defined. As it is convenient to test the installer on a regular terminal, do nothing if KEYMAP_UPDATE is missing. * gnu/installer/keymap.scm (kmscon-update-keymap): Do nothing if KEYMAP_UPDATE is not defined. --- gnu/installer/keymap.scm | 36 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) (limited to 'gnu/installer') diff --git a/gnu/installer/keymap.scm b/gnu/installer/keymap.scm index d9f8656855..d66b376d9c 100644 --- a/gnu/installer/keymap.scm +++ b/gnu/installer/keymap.scm @@ -149,18 +149,24 @@ Configuration Database, describing possible XKB configurations."
