[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
Okay, that makes perfect sense, except that it's not at all clear if it's possible to change the XKB layout for a specific device. It's something that, in the new age of MPX, really ought to be possible, but from what I understand, it would require XKB to be aware of XInput and multiple devices, which I don't think is the case (see http://www.fooishbar.org/talks/fosdem-xkb.pdf). I suppose that what we could do is have libxklavier recopy the XKB layout to the server every time it gets an XkbNewKeyboardNotify event. Which, ironically, is more or less the opposite of what it currently does (it updates its cache from the server's information when it gets this event - this is the source of those red herring messages above). -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
Never mind, I have traced it into libxklavier. The problem is, those NOT resetting the cache error messages are a red herring. I hacked libxklavier to always reset the cache on XkbNewKeyboardNotify, and it doesn't make any difference. The settings are not being applied for some other reason. I did set XKL_DEBUG to 999 and found one interesting difference. When I have autologin on, .xsession-errors contains this: [1216339029,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] found 1 groups [1216339029,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 0 has name [USA] Whereas, when I log in explicitly, it contains this: [1216347662,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] found 2 groups [1216347662,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 1 has name [USA] [1216347662,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 0 has name [-] I don't know much about xkb so I'm not sure what this - group is or where it came from. -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
One more data point here to consider. When I have autologin on, and I
run 'setxkbmap -print', it actually does show the options which were set
by libxklavier:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include xfree86+aliases(qwerty) };
xkb_types { include complete };
xkb_compat{ include complete };
xkb_symbols { include
pc+us+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle)+group(alts_toggle)+compose(rctrl)
};
xkb_geometry { include pc(pc101) };
};
However, these options have not actually been set in the server! As
everybody else mentioned, running setxkbcomp with no options (which
actually compiles the description and loads it into the server) makes
these settings active. This is equivalent to running:
setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - :0
These options aren't stored in any configuration file, so setxkbmap
*must* be getting them from the X server somehow, right? And yet, for
some reason, the server knows about the uncompiled form of the keyboard
description but hasn't actually loaded it...

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
The libxklavier author is correct, this is not a bug in libxklavier. It does everything exactly as it should, and calls XkbWriteToServer() to set the new keymap, and checks its return value. I have verified this. The problem is that XkbWriteToServer() is failing silently, for no apparent reason, during startup when autologin is enabled (or, it seems, when GNOME is started via xinit). And yet it works just fine once everything has settled down. I conjecture that the reason it works with manual login is because in that case, the X server has completely started up well before the point where GNOME tries to apply keyboard settings. Maybe moving gnome-settings-daemon later in the startup sequence would fix this?

On up-to-date hardy as of 10/07/2008, I cannot (using keyboard combination alt - alt ) change my keyboard from US to DE(US English keyboard to German Keyboard) however, I was always able to change from DE to US using the same key combination. In other words, It would only work ONE WAY. For ME, the SHIFT-SHIFT combination works perfectly. Now I can switch both ways (US to DE, and back again - DE to US).

Frantisek: You should check again the workaround with added setxkbmap to the GNOME session startup. This should work. I think you mentioned above that it did not work for you, however I would like to insist on this. Could you please describe all the steps you took to add the command in the sessions? An alternative would be to write a script that looks like -- #!/bin/sh (sleep 5; /usr/bin/setxkbmap) -- and invoke that command in the sessions. What the command does is it sleeps for 5 seconds before running setxkbmap. Mirza: In many cases there are some minor differences in applying commands, which cause the difference in results.

Frantisek: The source of the problem appears to be that when X starts, it tries to initialise the current layouts, and I believe that it does a bit later than GNOME itself. As if GNOME sets the layout correctly, then X.org kicks in and resets to the values found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Therefore, one workaround is to place all the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf at they keyboard layout section.

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
First of all, we are all in the same boat. We all want to get this fixed, and the only way to get it is by contributing our time on figuring out a solution. Secondly, I am not aware that a developer is funded to work full-time on keyboard issues and X. There are some other issues pertaining to keyboard support, more complex than this issue. It would be great if there was a person funded to work full time on these core issues. Mirza, we want more evidence that the source of the problem is that, due to autologin, X.org is too slow to set the layout settings, and it sets them AFTER GNOME has done so, essentially overriding GNOME. In your reply, it is not clear that from your tests, you verify the above. You mention random. Does it work for you for some cases, while in others it does not work? Frantisek, I had a discussion with the developer of libklavier last week. It is possible to write a program that invokes a function from the libxklavier library so that it configures again the keyboard layout. I believe this is what you are asking me. Another way for a workaround is to figure out where/when is the GNOME applet invoked, and add a delay for, let's say 5 seconds, before actually running the applet. You may find the developer at #xkbconfig on Freenode if you want to take this further. -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug report mixes together two separate issues. The first issue is that some shortcuts that can be used to switch between layouts, do not work. They do not work due to issues that related to the X.Org, and are described at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4927 A workaround here is to change the shortcut to something else that works. Then, this report switched to a different issue. When autologin is enabled, GNOME (keyboard settings) are not able to configure the shortcut or any other keyboard-related settings (such as euro, compose, layouts, etc). This is (most probably) due to the autologin feature. The workaround here is to disable autologin. Rapolas (reporter), how shall we go about this issue?

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
Bryce, it looks to me that the issue that you are referring to is different from the issue that the GUI layout settings are not enabled when the user has activated the autologon feature. When GNOME starts, libgnomekdb makes a decision whether to use the system layout settings (found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf), or use the user-configured layout settings (found in gconf). The latter is the typical choice, and only when gconf settings are not provided, libgnomekdb ends up using the system (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) as last resort (shortcut does not work after reboot). What it looks to me is that during autologin, libgnomekdb fails to read the gconf entries (maybe gconf is started a bit later, or something?) so it ends up with the system settings (xorg.conf). -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
The picture I have is this: A. Ubuntu and GNOME have their own system to deal with switching layouts, adding options such as whether to get the euro key and so on. You see these in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts. B. Traditionally, the Linux desktop would read this information from the cryptic file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the Keyboard section. Over there you can set all the options that you normally set now in the graphical user interface. C. When the graphical interface starts, GNOME makes a decision; is it possible to use the settings in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts? Now, it appears in some cases, the answer is no (for example, if you have Autologin enabled), so GNOME eventually uses the keyboard settings found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. These settings are not configured, and it ends up just typing English. The hot issue is this: Does this problem appear when you enable Autologin into GNOME? Can you verify that when you disable Autologin, the settings work (requires reboot)?

To Simos Xenitellis: Yes, this problem appears ONLY when I enable Autologin. With Autologin enabled, the problem is ALWAYS present. With Autologin disabled, the problem is NEVER present. When the Autologin is enabled, the solution to this problem is opening Keyboard preferences, opening Layouts / Layout options and toggling ANY option On and back Off. Afterwards, the switching works correctly... Until next reboot. Unfortunately, I am not enough Linux expert to dig deeper into this problem. But if someone wants to dig, I am more than willing to help.

In 8.04 I never seen this question dialogue. In Fedora 9. This also was independent of autologin.

I confirm too that the issue is gone after turning off auto login (at System-Administration-Login Window-Security). This might be also important: each time I after install (not start, but install) Ubuntu 8.04, when the first time I access this option it takes like forever to display this window (sometimes I have to restart the computer, regardless of AMD or Intel chip).

Could you please run the command gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd and report back the results? What I am interested in is the value for the overrideSettings variable. If this variable is false, then GNOME ignores the settings in System/Preferences/Keyboard/Layouts, and uses the information from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Jacob, Ubuntu Linux is this community; which is ourselves. When we find bugs, we cooperate in figuring out what's the source and how to fix them. If one does not have programming skills, they can still help with triaging, testing and reporting back what is requested. All this work is voluntary, whether it is Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE or else. Suppose some guy manages to fix this bug. Is anyone going to send him/her a personal e-mail thanking them? We, as end-users have to figure out constructive ways to attract people to help in programming, or make the effort ourselves as well to help with figuring out these bugs.

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
Jacob, despite Canonical's fault is that it hasn't even mentioned this bug, they cannot provide assistance for it. So it is not an issue in the input-output code, it is a bigger issue - in the XKM format. This causes problems when configuration is passed through binary files. This problem is very visible now - the default GNOME switcher Alt-Alt is broken - because virtual modifiers RAlt/LAlt are not passed to X server. These quotes are taken from the upstream bug report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4927 which explains why this bug couldn't be fixed before 8.04 shipping and also before Xorg 7.4. It seems to be requiring a relevant architecture change in the keyboard manager subset. I'm also waiting for it to be fixed. If some Canonical dev can help the guys at Xorg would be a nice contribution for the whole community since this bug has a relevant major impact on the user experience. -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
Both Canonical and upstream are aware of this issue and consider it of high importance. Unfortunately, the root cause is not something that can be easily fixed. The issue is that to solve this problem, X needs to have a way to save the ExplicitVModMapMask, which is tracked okay in memory but not when the configuration is passed via XKM binary files, because the XKM binary file format simply doesn't have a field for storing the VModMask flag data. The XKM file format allows only 8 flags to be set total, and there are already 8 defined. See the upstream bug report for details: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4927 Upstream's proposed solution to the problem is to remove the xkbcomp design and the xkm file format entirely, and switch to new X input technologies. This will be a fairly sizeable re-architecting effort, and will take time to complete. If you would like to help contribute to this solution for this problem, please offer your assistance to Sergey Udaltsov. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-keyboard (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged Target: ubuntu-8.04.1 = None ** Description changed: In the keyboard layout preferences, you can set Both alt keys together change layout, which worked in Gutsy for toggling between keyboard layouts.

Unfortunately, the setxkbmap solution doesn't work for me. After I run setxkbmap, I can indeed switch between Czech and English keyboard (the toolbar indicator now works and the layout changes correctly) but the dead key for writing characters with diacritics doesn't work at all. It's completely DEAD (hahaha). When I press the dead key (the key immediately to the right of -) and then a, it should produce á. However, it produces normal a, the dead key doesn't do anything and that means I'm unable to write several commonly used Czech characters. After I go to Keyboard configuration and change something small, everything works fine - until next reboot. Everything also works fine when I disable gdm autologin. When I create new user account, it's also mared by this problem. The xorg.conf solution is useless for me because it changes the global keyboard configuration for everyone whereas different users on my machine need to use different keyboard configurations. I see the exact same problem on FOUR different machines (all of them updated from 7.10) with quite different hardware and software configurations. I read it works correctly on virgin installations.

For those who have this problem, can they try creating a brand new user account and testing it there. It is possible that those that have migrated from earlier releases via dist-upgrades may have some files in their home dir conflicting. Testing under a new account will help verify that. Secondly, if you still have this problem under a new account, and have gone the emigration path, try making a backup of your xorg.conf and trying a new default xorg.conf. Just some additional test cases for those working on this bug. -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 196277] Re: [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot
@Roderick Greening: Creating new account, setting the keyboard and autologin won't help. I get the same symptoms. Reverting to the default xorg.conf will create the same keyboard input section like in my old xorg.conf, so I think, it won't have any effect. It is very unlikely that this is caused by eg. mouse configuration. (But anything is possible; anyone who wants to test this?) guy_elg's script is possible solution, but please notice that it will change your keyboard settings to Alt+Shift switching and remove all your extra configuration (like compose key etc.) You have to change it accordingly to your settings or we can make some universal solution when we dump the settings first. -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
