Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
I accidentally deleted all the hidden files in my home directory. Then I
logged into my user account and had to set everything up again. My
default keyboard language is English UK and I tried to add German
default. Then the following error message appeared:
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
10400090
It is not possible to switch keyboard layouts with the defined keys.
xprop -root | grep XKB
