Well, be assured that there would already be bug reports about this issue if all German people were affected ;) It seems that your /etc/X11/xkb directory is screwed up, in particular /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc is missing. You can try the following commands to fix it: # rm -rf /etc/X11/xkb # apt-get install --reinstall xlibs # dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs*_all.deb # apt-get install --reinstall xbase-clients and restart your X server.
