[Bug 58083] Re: No keyboard previews
Tony, please don't advice people to do manual changes like that, that sort of hacks can break upgrades months later and then people are confused and blame the distribution for things they broke themself and not good for anybody. That can be fixed and is fixed to feisty. Preview from keymaps is a small feature why people make so much noise about it?

This is really interesting though. That hack implies that xkb-data-legacy provides everything X need to work properly. Does this mean xkeyboard-config package is broken somehow or what?

[Bug 58083] Re: No keyboard previews
Sebastian, it's more than just preview from keymaps, whatever that is. After upgrading to Edgy, I lost my multimedia keys. I went to reassign my keyboard mapping from the pull down in the Kubuntu Systems Settings, and there were *no* keyboards to choose from, therefore no graphical way I could see to get my multimedia keys back. Without being precious about it, IMO, this is a significant inconvenience. If this is affecting everyone, then the small change to the packages as above might be worth it. If it's just me or a subset of people, then I don't understand what went wrong in my upgrade process (OK, so I didn't use update-manager) -- No keyboard previews https://launchpad.net/bugs/58083 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 58083] Re: No keyboard previews
There's another solution available, with a less drastic fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=309424 In short, this distilled down to removing the existing /usr/share/X11/xkb (e.g. renaming it to .xkb-broken or something) and linking /usr/share/X11/xkb to /etc/X11/xkb: cd /usr/share/X11 sudo mv xkb .xkb-broken sudo ln -s ../../../etc/X11/xkb/ Further investigation seems to indicate that the xkb-data-legacy package will provide everything we need, but that package has dependencies that will regress your system badly. But I see the fact that we can't fix it in the distro proper as a major setback. Is it considered low risk enough to include something like this symlink in the xkb-data package, and thus fix it within the distro? That sounds better to me than Seb having to track these packages, and users having to manually install them for the life of Edgy. -- No keyboard previews https://launchpad.net/bugs/58083 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
