Package: capplets
Version: "Error activating XKB configuration." dialog not possible to disable
Severity: important
Tags: sarge sid
Hi!
Upon starting gnome-settings-daemon I get this dialog every time:
#v+
__________________________________________________________________
|[]Error |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ,-"-. Error activating XKB configuration. |
| ( === ) Probably internal X server problem |
| `-_-:7 |
| X server version data: |
| The XFree86 Project, Inc |
| 40200000 |
| |
| 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/xkb |
`------------------------------------------------------------------'
#v-
Here the requested settings:
#v+
alfie@minos:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "German", "nodeadkeys", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "German", "nodeadkeys", ""
alfie@minos:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
layouts = [German nodeadkeys]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = []
#v-
Someone told me that it might have to do with an old xfree version.
Unfortunately I can't upgrade it here: We are using dumb terminals and
we are running the latest firmware already. So the think I'm asking for
is a way to disable this dialog once and for all. I don't notice any
problems with my keyboard, it works perfectly the way it should, and
according to the output of the requested commands I don't see anything
wrong with that neither.
Thanks for considering it, and a happy new year.
