[Bug 548891] Re: keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates
After a little more research and VM building, this is what i find. I can reproduce this problem with Ubuntu as guest on the following operating systems. Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit Mac OSX Snow Leopard Windows XP Windows 7 VMWare ESXi 4.0 For the most part, the problem is identical. Everything works with Lucid Beta 1 as the guest, up until applying updates after that i can no longer log in with the same symptoms as previously reported on all of them, with the exception of Karmic. Karmic does not work from the get go, if i do a basic install of Lucid running on a Karmic host, the keyboard works but is mapped to the wrong keys and i have to use the onscreen keyboard to login. No matter what option i choose in under keyboard preferences after loggin in i cannot get the keyboard to map properly. After applying the updates to Lucid on the Karmic host it then mirrors the problems experienced with all the other hosts. The keyboard flat out does not work anymore. Now the one thing i have noticed is that Lucid does not seem to pickup its keyboard mappings correctly for any of my hosts, when i say that, i mean it defaults to USA/USA as language and keyboard layout even though i have set it to use UK/UK as the language and keyboard layout. I am assuming the reason some of us can work and some can't is because those that can are using a USA/USA layout. Again, i am happy to test anything on any of the VM's i have should anyone wish to get to the bottom of this problem. I am not sure the onscreen keyboard problem is necessarily exactly the bug listed above, as that was submitted in Feb and even though nothing has been resolved with it, Beta 1 shipped after that and the onscreen keyboard works in that release. Subsequent updates seem to have broken that again so i am sure its just a variation of it. I have experience exactly that bug but on a physical machine running Lucid and not in a VM. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 548891] Re: keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates
This is definitely a problem with the guest not detecting the keyboard mappings or saving them. For some reason it insists on using American layout settings even if i log in an apply them system wide. The only way i can use my machine at this point in time is to set it to AutoLogin and then i am fine but everytime i log in the first thing i have to do is change the keyboard layout. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The previous post was for a working machine with no updates installed.

[Bug 548891] Re: keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates
Ok, i rebuilt the VM as it only takes about 10mins to recreate. I ran the following before the update: sudo DISPLAY=:0 xprop -root |grep NAMES.S _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = evdev, SKIP, gb,us, mac,, and then again after the update: sudo DISPLAY=:0 xprop -root |grep NAMES.S _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = evdev, SKIP, us, U.S. English, The only way i can do anything is by using an ssh session to the VM at the moment. I cannot login into GDM. I have tried logging in remotely and doing a service gdm shutdown and then a start but makes no difference. I am happy to setup a new VM without the updates and go through a troubleshooting process if anyone has any ideas as to what they would like me to supply them to compare what is different between the working and broken setups. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Additionally when i run: setxkbmap gb Cannot open display default display or setxkbmap of any form i get this error message. I am running this from a ssh session.

Thanks for that, i did read the thread beforehand, which was how i found this bug report. However i am not one of the lucky few that seems to have option of a onscreen keyboard to get me by. The best i can do is ssh. I may try something like nomachine to get me by for now. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have attached the Xorg logs from both the working and non-working VM's. There seems to be some issue with xkb creating xkm files at the end of the machine that is not working. ** Attachment added: Xorg.log.tar.gz http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42928275/Xorg.log.tar.gz -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Just to add to your woes and to add a bit of diversity. I would like to point out that this does not only apply to Ubuntu as VM on a Windows host. I have exactly the same problem with Lucid, running under VM Fusion on Mac OSX. Interestingly, i only built this machine today and only had this problem once i updated the machine. I built the initial VM using a beta1 ISO and everything was wonderful. Unfortunately i have not been one of the lucky ones and been able to use the onscreen keyboard to login. I have no way to log in whatsoever, the keyboard does not come up if i try using the onscreen keyboard. No matter what i do the minute i tick the box, it disappears. -- keyboard input broken at gnome login prompt after package updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
