This report has become quite messy and requires clean up, 1. The title and description need update; they refer to issues that probably existed in Edgy but not anymore. 2. In these 100+ comments, there are several different issues mixed together, which makes it even more improbable that they will get attention. 3. What I'll do is close this report and invite you to open new individual bug reports for each separate issue. When filing a new bug report, please select the xkeyboard-config package. Some guidelines a. You should not need to edit xorg.conf in order to configure the keyboard layout. If you have to, then you applied a workaround. The problem is still a bug and requires to be fixed. All configuration should be done in the UI so that it is correct. If not, file a report. b. You can extract the Ubuntu keyboard configuration for layouts with gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd c. You can test different configurations using the setxkbmap command; you need to create a 'setxkbmap' line using the information from [b]. For example, setxkbmap -layout us -model macbook79 -variant intl -print | xkbcomp - :0 shows an error which says what the problem is about. So, please read this post carefully and create new reports where required. ** Changed in: mactel-support Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67188 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

OK, now gladly disregarding VB and your external keyboard. My advice is to 1. change keyboard layout from "USA Mac" to "USA" and 2. change keyboard model from "Generic" to "Apple/MacBook/MacBook Pro". Order is relevant if you want to avoid error messages in between. If that works for you, then bug 327963 applies.

And I thought I was being so clear.. :( Forget VB for a minute.. Currently my Keyboard model is Generic 102 (was previously 105). My layouts are USA Mac and Germany (thought I haven't yet used that layout - so in essence, we're only concerned with USA MAC (which is setup as default and which is working).

[Bug 67188] Re: "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing
So let me get this right: you're now working with a USB keyboard plugged into your MacBook Pro? Is it a Mac keyboard, or some other, more PCish keybord? If the latter, then "Generic" is most definitely the way to go, I'd say. When you claim that a Generic 102 keyboard was the "only way", have you tried configuring a Mac model with a simple (i.e. not mentioning mac) US layout, as I suggested? I know little about VirtualBox, but I assume that it the ransfer of key events from the host OS to the guest OS works on the level of scan codes, not characters. I don't know whether these scan codes are passed dirctly as received, or rather generated according to some kind of virtual keyboard the guest sees. In any case, I assume that keyboard layout configured in the host should have little to do with this. Instead, twaking configuration options in the guest OS might help. But I suggest you ask these questions using the launchpad question facility, some mailing list, or similar. -- "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67188 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

Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I am in the wrong bug - but 327963 doesn't seem to be right for me either. In effect, I have no need for any variant of the Mac keyboard.

I installed VirtualBox 3.0 to run XP and everything was working prefectly (i.e. in XP, to get to the Alt-F4 key, I would still have to use the Mac configuration of ALT+FN+F4). I was happy. Then for some reason I lost the Keyboard in the Host (although a plugged USB KB works). At the same time, the keyboard in XP went to a generic 105 - meaning the that I can't now access the FN key to get to Home/End/F-keys, etc. To correct, this I attempted to specify to Ubuntu that I had a Mac Keyboard with US layout. This was where I ran into this bug. The only way I could fix it was to go back to a Generic 102 (or 105) keyboard. Ubuntu still interprets the key-presses correctly. But something isn't passing it through to the Guest OS properly (meaning I have no delete, only backspace in XP :) Should I in fact be in 327963? -- "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67188 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 67188] Re: "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing
spbrereton, if what you experience is in fact bug #327963, then I believe that you should set the MODEL to something mac (e.g. "macintosh_vndr/ch") and the LAYOUT to a variant not mentioning mac (e.g. "de", not "de_mac"). The reason is that the layout files for mac models simply don't mention any specific mac layout variants, as all the mac model layouts are for mac. In other words, the "macintosh_vndr/ch" file describes a layout called "de" which fits the default swiss mac layout, but no layout called "de_mac". Bug #327963 has been turned into a request to introduce the latter as an alias to the former, in order to avoid this confusion. If you want to support that, subscribe to that bug and/or mark it as affecting you as well. The other way, using a generic MODEL with a *_mac LAYOUT does work as well, as far as the configuration files are concerned. The result is probably not optimal, though, as that configuration is intended to simulate mac-like behaviour on a non-mac keyboard. So if your keyboard was built by apple, the other approach is preferable. Further discussion on the speific issue of mac keyboard models with mac layout variants should probably go to bug 327963 as well, as that bug is more specific, while this one here does deal with several other and probably unrelated issues as well. -- "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67188 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

You can either have a Macintosh Swiss keyboard model with a German layout, or you can have a generic keyboard model with a special Macintosh German layout. As the former uses the keys as labeled out on the Mac, it's probably what you want.

I have the feeling that this bug here might be a collection of several distinct issues, which all look the same due to lack of precise error messages. I filed bug #328980 asking for error messages to be displayed to the user. Until then, you might use the attached script to learn more about this kind of error. Download it, and then call "sudo bash DownloadedScriptName install" in order to install a wrapper around xkbcomp. Then reproduce the issue, and have a look at /tmp/xkb.*/* for more details about xkbcomp invocations, especially /tmp/xkb.*/err for standard error messages. Once you are done, you can invoke the script with "sudo bash DownloadedScriptName uninstall" to remove the wrapper and "sudo bash DownloadedScriptName clean" to delete the collected data. With such a wrapper, you can get additional information, like shown in bug #327963 for my own Mac-related issue. Maybe with this information it becomes possible to distinguish the different causes of xkb error messages, and address them appropriately. ** Attachment added: "Install debug wrapper around xkbcomp" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22579754/debug67188.sh -- "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67188 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

u same shit happened to me... so fustrating... but I find a solution to me. I don't know if it will work to anyone else...

I'm spanish user and for me it's call "Restablecer valores predeterminados"). Now I only have 1 keyboard distribution: España ( in my case ) and the keyboard model is Generic PC 105k (intl) Then I reboot the system. At this time, I don't get the ugly message error but especial characters like # or ¬ doesn't work yet. To fix that I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and I commented the XkbVariant Option to have only one existing layout... It looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "es" #Option"XkbVariant""ca" EndSection Now when reboot the system I have no error and I got the correct keymapping for my language (spanish).

Apparently, currently on Intel MacBook Pros not only the keyboard is not being detected but it is also completely wrong. Try System -> Einstellungen -> Tastatur, choose "MacBook/MacBook Pro (Intl)" + "Germany Macintosh" and choose "Print Layout Diagram". I get a DESKTOP KEYBOARD DIAGRAM!
