Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:2.24.0.1-3 Severity: normal I have three keyboard groups (three languages) configured with the Gnome keyboard (gnome-keyboard-properties).
When I first log in with a USB keyboard plugged into my laptop, the keyboard layouts work fine (that would seem to make this a different bug to #470228, which has the layout failing at login). The three groups are accessible via the keyboard applet in the Gnome panel, and I can also toggle between them using the Win key (configured via Layout Options/Key(s) to change layout). If I pull the USB keyboard out, the layout continues working fine on the laptop keyboard, both the applet and the Win key still work. When I reinsert the USB keyboard, then the applet breaks: only the first keyboard group works, the others no longer appear in the panel applet[*]. Likewise the Win button on the USB keyboard does nothing. So I can not access my alternate keyboards. The only workaround is to open gnome-keyboard-properties, add a fourth keyboard layout and iummediately remove it. After this both applet and USB Win key work fine. Curiously, while the layout is in broken the broken state (broken applet and broken USB Win key), the Win key on the laptop keyboard does in fact continue to work. Thanks, Drew [*] At first there are three entries but the second two are corrupted, listed as "??" and "??²" instead of "Rus" and "Gre". Then soon after these entries no longer appear, leaving only the first layout "USA". -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-control-center depends on: ii capplets-dat 1:2.24.0.1-3 configuration applets for GNOME 2 ii desktop-file 0.15-2 Utilities for .desktop files ii gnome-deskto 2.26.1-1 Common files for GNOME 2 desktop a ii gnome-icon-t 2.24.0-4 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gnome-menus 2.24.2-2 an implementation of the freedeskt ii gnome-settin 2.24.1-2 daemon handling the GNOME session ii libatk1.0-0 1.24.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcanberra- 0.11-1 Gtk+ helper for playing widget eve ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib 0.80-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2- 2.24.5-4+b1 Client library for evolution addre ii libfontconfi 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-4 2.26.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-des 2.24.3-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-win 1:2.24.0.1-3 Utility library for getting window ii libgnome2-0 2.24.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomekbd3 2.24.0-3 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgstreamer 0.10.22-5 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer 0.10.22-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.14.7-5 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libmetacity- 1:2.24.0-2 library of lightweight GTK2 based ii libpango1.0- 1.24.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libslab0 0.9.12-2 beautification app library file ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxft2 2.1.13-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxklavier1 3.9-1 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library Versions of packages gnome-control-center recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii evolution-data-server 2.24.5-4+b1 evolution database backend server ii gnome-session 2.22.3-3 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-user-guide 2.24.2-2 GNOME user's guide Versions of packages gnome-control-center suggests: ii gnome-screensaver 2.24.1-2 GNOME screen saver and locker ii gstreamer0.10-alsa [gstream 0.10.22-5 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [ 0.10.11-2+b1 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" s ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.14-2 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio [g 0.10.14-2 GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio ii libcanberra-gtk-module 0.11-1 translates Gtk+ widgets signals to ii x11-xserver-utils 7.4+2 X server utilities -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
