Bug#288779: kdebase-bin: Error when using "US international" keyboard layout
Package: kdebase-bin
Version: 4:3.3.1-3
Severity: important
Hello,
I file against a bug which I already met in the recent past
(#279570). This bug was fixed but is now back in town :
At work, on a machine with an US keyboard, I use KDE with two
keyboard layouts :
- US (for shell input)
- US international (for french text input with accents)
Each time I want to switch to the US international layout
(with the Ctrl-Alt-K shortcut) :
- the kxkb icon in the miniature box is "err"
- my $HOME/.xsession-errors shows those lines :
kxkb: WARNING: Unable to open /tmp/kde-eh/us_intl.xkm: Aucun fichier ou r??pertoire de ce type
Error loading new keyboard description
"Aucun fichier ou r??pertoire de ce type" means
"No such file or directory".
For the previous bug #279570, the message was slightly different :
kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: init_keyboard_layout
Error loading new keyboard description
This bug prevent to type french or other accentuated language
input on an US keyboard, so I file this bug as "important".
Feel free to modify this, of course.
I think this bug is easily repeatable : I observed it at work,
home and on my laptop (all three with up-to-date sarge) :
juste choose US international keyboard layout and switch
to it.
Feel free to ask me if you want more info or test.
Hope this helps and thanks for all the good work,
Emmanuel
