Bug also happens to me... I would say that this bug should be treated with "high" priority, as it prevents users from writing with different keyboards, which is quite a mess if you have to write texts in many different languages... Follow-up to my original post: The error does *not* appear when I log in to KDE. I have changed this from a kudzu bug to a Gnome desktop bug, since it is not consistent on KDE. Yes, no error message is *shown* when you log into KDE, however, it still *happens* - try adding an additional keyboard layout: none will be available. If you log in to GNOME, then you get the error message explaining why you don't have any keyboard available. I used three keyboard layouts on KDE before installing FC2. After installing, on the lower right side, where I should have my keyboards, I just had "err" written. Go to the K Menu > Preferences > Control Centre > Regional&Accessibility > Keyboard Layout - and you will see that no keyboard layout is available. The bug is NOT Gnome Desktop only - it happens also on KDE!!!! Yes, the problem is solved in that bug. What one must do is add a symlink to xorg.lst in the rules directory: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules ln -s xorg.lst xfree86.lst I had already spotted that the directory contained a symlink from xfree86 to xorg, but it seems that you also need one from xfree86.lst to xorg.lst - I wonder if you also need one to the other "xorgs" *** Bug 123630 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 123702 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 120858 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
