Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
This is much like bug #221196, but is causing trouble in my Ubuntu 9.10 VirtualBox installation. The hardware is an Intel MacBook Pro (purchased in October 2009). The source package seems to be gnome-settings-daemon. To recreate the bug I go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and in the Keyboard Preferences window I select the "Layouts" tab. I then click on the box to the right of "Keyboard model:" to select a new layout. I select Apple as the vendor. Now, whenever I select MacBook/Macbook Pro, MacBook/MacBook Pro (Intl), or Macintosh, I get the following error dialogue: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 10604000 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The included results are as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- matt...@mattbook-linux:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch" matt...@mattbook-linux:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [us mac] options = [lv3 lv3:ralt_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle] model = macbook79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- matt...@mattbook-linux:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Nov 29 10:05:28 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) Package: gnome-control-center 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: gnome-control-center Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- Changing keyboard model causes XKB configuration error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490009 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
