Bug#648151: no keyboard at all due to bad /etc/default/keyboard
Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.5+5
If I set /etc/default/keyboard to
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
then the keyboard on X is dead. .xinitrc.log shows
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: No Symbols named "nodeadkeys" in the include file "us"
> Exiting
> Abandoning symbols file "default"
It would be more wise to ignore the "nodeadkeys", or to
fall back to pc101 layout. Without keyboard you cannot
fix the problem. That is fatal.
