Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.12.3-2
Followup-For: Bug #363429
gnome-keyboard-properties seems to be broken again. It refuses to load
known working configurations.
When loading the configuration settings manually with setxkbmap, there's
no problem.
Typical error dialog:
8<-- cut -->8
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
70000000
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
8<-- cut -->8
Output of xprop and gconftool-2:
8<-- cut -->8
[senta:~] xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "cherrycymoli", "eu_intl", "",
"grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "cherrycymoli", "eu_intl,fi", "",
"grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps"
[senta:~] gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [eu_intl,fi nodeadkeys]
model =
overrideSettings = false
options = []
[senta:~] _
8<-- cut -->8
(Note that both eu_intl and cherrycymoli are self-written -- working --
keyboard definitions not included in X; I believe this to be irrelevant
to the error.)
Loading the configuration manually:
8<-- cut -->8
[senta:~] setxkbmap -v 10 -model cherrycymoli -layout "eu_intl,fi" -option "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps"
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from xorg:
model: cherrycymoli
layout: eu_intl,fi
options:
grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete+ledcaps(group_lock)+ledcaps(group_lock)
symbols: pc(pc105)+eu_intl+inet(cherrycymoli)+fi:2+group(caps_toggle)
geometry: pc(pc104)
[senta:~] _
8<-- cut -->8
(The warnings shown are simply because of the high verbosity level.)
Loading the config this way works fine. Hence I assume the program
'gnome-keyboard-properties' -- or its backend -- to be broken.

Wouter
