Category: UN*X version Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: https://www.google.com/accounts () Assigned to: Adam Tkac (atkac) Summary: Key events not recognized Initial Comment: I installed tigervnc on ubuntu 11.10 with unity 2d and I cannot get any key events recognized. Mouse and pointers event are good. Here is the behavior I observed: 1. Type 'c', the cursor will blink on screen but no character displayed 2. Type 'shift'-'c', character 'C' was displayed 3. Cap lock on, type 'shift'-'c', cursor blink but no character displayed 4. Cap lock on, type 'c', character 'C' is displayed. I've tried the following combinations Unity 2D: Xvnc4 Free Edition server 4.1.1 + tigervnc viewer 1.1.0 release binaries or RealVNC on Windows - GOOD Unity 2D: Xvnc4 Free Edition server 4.1.1 + tigervnc viewer 1.1.0 release binaries on Linux - GOOD Unity 2D: tigervnc server 1.1.0 release binaries + tigervnc viewer 1.1.0/1.1.80 release binaries - BAD Unity 2D: tigervnc server 1.1.0 build from source + tigervnc viewer 1.1.0/1.1.80 release binaries or tigervnc viewer 1.1.0 build from source - BAD Unity 2D: tigervnc server 1.1.80 release binaries + tigervnc viewer 1.1.0/1.1.80 release binaries - BAD Gnome recovery (not gnome3 or gnome3-fallback or gnome-class): tigervnc server 1.1.0/1.1.80 + any vncviewer - GOOD *Gnome recovery means when I log in, I do not see the panel but only a toolbar that said "File Edit View Bookmarks Help". I've launched xev within the display launched by tigervnc with Gnome recovery or Unity-2d. A key press of any alpha key is behaving differently on both: In Gnome Recovery where they key events is properly recognized: It is showing keypress and keyrelease events In unity 2d: It is showing focus in, focus out events When I looked at the .xsession_errors, in unity 2d, I saw an error of the following which maybe related: unity-2d-launcher: [DEBUG] bool KeyMonitor::registerEvents(): Could not open device: Virtual core pointer unity-2d-launcher: [DEBUG] bool KeyMonitor::registerEvents(): Could not open device: Virtual core keyboard unity-2d-launcher: [WARNING] HotkeyMonitor::HotkeyMonitor(QObject*): Failed to initialize Xkb extension. CapsLock and NumLockactive will prevent shortcuts from working. unity-2d-launcher: [WARNING] Hotkey::Hotkey(Qt::Key, Qt::KeyboardModifiers, QObject*): Could not get keycode for keysym 65470 ( "F1" ) unity-2d-launcher: [DEBUG] virtual void Hotkey::connectNotify(const char*): Grabbing hotkey "Alt+F1" unity-2d-launcher: [WARNING] Hotkey::Hotkey(Qt::Key, Qt::KeyboardModifiers, QObject*): Could not get keycode for keysym 65471 ( "F2" ) ... and a lot more of the same warnings for different key. My ~/.vnc/xstartup is as follow: #!/bin/sh # The following line was commented out by default unset SESSION_MANAGER export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xhost + localhost vncconfig -nowin & x-terminal-emulator -geometry 100x40+100+700 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & # x-window-manager & # gnome-session & exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc - Unsetting XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE or not does not change the behavior - Unsetting SESSION_MANAGER or not does not change the behavior either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126848&aid=3428860&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
