Bug 1010592

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

I have the same warnings, but only with my Corsair Vengeance K70R.

might be related: the "#" and single quote key of does not work (german layout (de)). During boot, when prompted for LUKS password those keys seem to work, in windows too. On other keyboards(Sharkoon Mediaboard, Dell SK-8115) those keys work.

May i supply additional debug information to have this fixed asap? Please ask/tell me.

(Well, F23 is almost released - was this issue addressed there?)

please attach the output of "xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -", thanks

ok, this was reported in 2013, better switch the needinfo to anyone :)

Aight, here is the output. Well, kind of - Bugzilla complained "Comments cannot be longer than 65535 characters." m) So i fed it into fpaste → http://fpaste.org/282798/14455783/

ok, verified, pumping this into xkbcomp generates that error. This is just a mental backup for me, won't get to this today.

xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compatibility { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de+de(nodeadkeys):2+us:3+de:4+inet(evdev)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

The problem stems from the xkb include order which is a bit complicated.

* pc maps to the first map in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc file, which is pc105. That defines all the non-alphanumeric keys, i.e. ctrl, backspace, escape, etc.
* pc105 includes altwin(meta_alt), which defines RALT as a two-level key with Alt_R and Meta_R. That's the default for the right alt key on the 'us' keyboard and any other layout that doesn't overwrite it.
* de maps to de(basic) which includes level3(ralt_switch). That redefines RALT as a one-level key for ISO_Level3_Shift (so you get the various third-level symbols like @, {, }, etc.)
* because the key already has a two-level assignment, cutting it to a one-level assignment (and effectively dropping the second symbol) produces the warning. 

This isn't a bug, it's expected behaviour. The only problem here is the warning that appears in the log by default. I've sent a patch upstream to turn the warning off by default, other than that there isn't anything to do here.

A note to the fix: I've pushed this to F23 now, but I'll skip updating F22, it's not worth the effort. The fix is cosmetic only anyway, hiding the warning, the actual behaviour is correct.

I'm also changing the version on this bug to f23 as well so it looks correct when the package hits stable and the bot closes it.
