Bug#433136: meta-kde: I see the same since this afternoon
Package: meta-kde
Followup-For: Bug #433136
Hi All,
since the last update and reboot I see apparently the same problem. If
and only if I have keyboard layouts enabled, the keys are messed up in
KDE. Disabling them does not negate the effect immediatly but after a
new login, I get a correct layout, but of course not the one I would
like (us in this case, which explains any wrong x's and y's :-) ).
I haven't found any printable characters that were messed up, but the
arrow keys are (left is iso 3rd level shift, up is print and the others
are NoSymbol if I remember correctly), similarly keypad enter and keypad '/',
right alt, which is keypad enter, home which is pause, etc.
Gnome complains about aomething like an unexpected keyboard layout on start,
saying it got evtdev + forgot and expected pc105 + de. After some fiddling
(deleting xorg.conf, which also mandated de) it said it the otherway around,
with de replaced by us. I can choose to stay with that or use the gnome
settings. Either way gnome freezes and stops loading.
In X's log I find the following lines:
expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc
expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc
expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc
expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc
expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc
expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc
Maybe this is completely unrelated but it happened at the same time.
Independent of the keyboard layout problem within KDE, I could not switch to a
vt using Ctrl-Alt-Fx any more. This problem went away when I simply moved my
xorg.conf out of the way, leaving me with a constant us layout, however.
As another thing that should not make a difference (famous last words I
suppose) is that I extended the de layout manually in
/usr/share/.../symbol/de. I checked, that the keyboard layout problems are the
same, even if I configure the keyboard switcher to use a different layout and
delete de from its list.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Jan
