Package: libgnomekbd7
Version: 2.91.5-2
Severity: important
I get the dreaded "Error activating XKB configuration." As requested,
here is the output:
lakeview ok % xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "",
"ctrl:nocaps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "",
"ctrl:nocaps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
lakeview ok % gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model
''
lakeview ok % gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts
@as []
lakeview ok % gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options
@as []
Note that my GNOME settings map my left (and only) Windows key to
compose, so at the moment I am left without a compose key.
I'm not sure in what package the problem is, so please feel free to
reassign it if need be. I am using GNOME 2 with compiz as normal.
gnome3-session and its dependencies are installed.
Also, I get several of these windows. I was well-informed the first
time, thanks; I don't need six more windows telling me the same thing.
If you think this should be a separate bug, feel free to clone it.
