Description Andras Barna 2007-06-15 10:58:52 UTC
I installed opensuse alpha5 the gnome cd (clean intall), after login a message appears:

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
70200000

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

xprop -root | grep XKB:

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "base", "pc101", "us", "", ""
$

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd :

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = []
 model = 
 overrideSettings = true
 options = []
$

dunno if it's useful or not:
(II) LoadModule: "kbd"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//input/kbd_drv.so
(II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.2.0, module version = 1.1.0
        Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
        ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.7
from Xorg.0.log

So, several keyboard shortcuts doesn't work, eg: ctrl+alt+f#, alt+# in gnome-terminal, xchat

I confirm this one. I have exactly the same issue.
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2007-06-17 15:54:55 UTC
I'm pretty sure that xkeyboard-config package is simply missing. Could you check this? Thanks.
Comment 3 Andras Barna 2007-06-17 16:13:31 UTC

thx

How can this be a duplicate? Do we use the same packages for KDE and Gnome CD?
Comment 6 Stephan Binner 2007-06-17 18:47:04 UTC
Sure, up to X the packages are the same (criteria: only required stuff in X pattern).
