Title:
Changing keyboard model causes XKB configuration error
Status in “libxklavier” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
This is much like bug #221196 (it may also be the same as bug #67188), but is
causing trouble in my Ubuntu 9.10 VirtualBox installation.
The hardware is an Intel MacBook Pro (purchased in October 2009).
The source package seems to be gnome-settings-daemon.
To recreate the bug I go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and in the Keyboard
Preferences window I select the "Layouts" tab.
I then click on the box to the right of "Keyboard model:" to select a new
layout. I select Apple as the vendor. Now, whenever I select MacBook/Macbook
Pro, MacBook/MacBook Pro (Intl), or Macintosh, I get the following error
dialogue:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
10604000
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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The results are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
matthew@mattbook-linux:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "mac",
"lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"
matthew@mattbook-linux:~$ gconftool-2 -R
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [us mac]
options = [lv3 lv3:ralt_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle]
model = macbook79
