Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.6-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I use KDE as my primary desktop. I also use GNOME applications. I
start gnome-font-properties manually to activate my font size
preferences and a keyboard customization: "Compose" action on the
"Menu" key. After a xorg upgrade, I read confusing instructions about
xfree86/xorg XkbRules and the xkb-data package. I did the following:
- I installed xkb-data
- in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I replaced
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
with:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Then gnome-font-properties (or whatever other GNOME daemon) displayed
this error message:
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60900000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
Here is the requested info:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fr", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "fr", "", ""
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [fr]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = [compose compose:menu]
I don't know which package is responsible for this (xkb-data, xorg or
GNOME). I hope you know more than I on the subject and you will be
able to reassign this bug to the right package.
