Bug#719683: x11-xkb-utils: Error activating XKB configuration
Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.7~1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I was configuring my keyboard layout with the gnome shell panel.
System Settings > Region and Language > Layouts
I selected French (Machintosh) and no other options seems to be suitable
for my laptop (Macbook Pro 8.1). Now, the keyboard apparently have the
correct layout.
However, everytime I log into my Debian, a popup appears:
-------------------------------------------------------------
(X) Error activating XKB configuration.
There can be various reasons for that.
If you report this situation as a bug, include the results of
- xprop -root | grep XKB
- gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model
- gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts
- gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options
-------------------------------------------------------------
This error comes up too when I suspend the laptop
I hope this bug is related to the good package.
