Description Michal Jaegermann 2007-11-29 03:34:07 UTC
Description of problem:

system-config-keyboard does not work anymore leaving a keyboard
with defaults even if it was configured diffrently.

An attempt to execute system-config-keyboard in a terminal window
first prints:

Starting graphical mode failed.  Starting text mode instead.

switched to a text mode and immediately fails in a bad way
turning a terminal window into white text on a blue background,
no carriage returns, a keyboard locked up and the following
backtrace (reformatted as carriage returns are gone and text
runs off the right margin):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/system-config-keyboard.py", line 78, in
<module>
 useTextMode()
 File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/system-config-keyboard.py", line 38, in
useTextMode
 app = keyboard_tui.childWindow()
 File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/keyboard_tui.py", line 98, in __init__
 kbd, rc = KeyboardWindow()(screen)
 File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/keyboard_tui.py", line 70, in __call__
 l.setCurrent(default)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/snack.py", line 193, in setCurrent
 self.w.listboxSetCurrent(self.item2key[item])
 KeyError: ''

After the above even "Reset" and "Reset and Clear" are ineffective.
A text clears from a screen all right after the second one but
a keyboard still does not respond.  On the second try a keyboard
turns out to respond but nothing what was typed shows up.
OTOH typing in blind 'reset' followed by 'Ctrl-J' does reset that
terminal even if menu entries were unable to achieve that.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-keyboard-1.2.11-3.fc8

How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Lubomir Kundrak 2007-11-29 12:32:28 UTC
Thanks for the report, I'll look at the problem shortly.

SELinux denial summary

Comment 3 Robert Petranović 2008-03-27 09:24:11 UTC
I fixed this bug by adding this line to xorg.conf file:
Section "ServerLayout"
    (...)
    InputDevice    "keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "keyboard"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
(...)

But there is also SELinux denial.. so the xorg.conf changes work only if SELinux
is disabled.... in attachment you have SELinux denial summary

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2008-03-28 13:18:47 UTC
I have tried this and while the AVC shows up the change of keyboard worked in
enforcing mode.  I will dontaudit the avc.  It is happening because 

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.0.8-96.fc8

Comment 6 Riku Seppala 2008-03-31 21:17:27 UTC
Sorry I messed the comment. More selinux trouble with keyboard. I'll attach
another selinux summary that might be related.

SELinux is preventing rhgb (rhgb_t) "read" to ./keyboard (root_t).

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2008-04-01 05:16:57 UTC
This looks like the keyboard file is labeld root_t?  Is this file in /?

Why is rhgb_t reading ./keyboard?

I have added dontaudit to the loadkeys trying to read /root.

Comment 9 Riku Seppala 2008-04-02 15:25:12 UTC
All I know is that I have fresh install of Fedora 9 beta with wrong keyboard
settings. When I try to change it I get another selinux summary. This is what I
see on the console:

[root@localhost ~]# system-config-keyboard

SELinux is preventing kdm_greet (xdm_t) "create" to ./kdm (var_lib_t).

Comment 11 Riku Seppala 2008-04-02 18:10:17 UTC
Looks like my problems were already fixed, I should update more often. (Can't do
much testing now since X is broken, but keyboard seems to be ok now)

Comment 12 Riku Seppala 2008-04-04 09:05:55 UTC
Sorry, not fixed. Pressing ok on system-config-keyboard gives yet another
selinux summary.

Comment 14 Daniel Walsh 2008-04-04 19:19:25 UTC
COuld you verify that you are logged in as unconfined_t?

id -Z in a terminal window?

Comment 15 Riku Seppala 2008-04-05 12:58:35 UTC
$ id -Z

Comment 16 Daniel Walsh 2008-04-06 09:58:25 UTC
So are you running system-config-keyboard form the gdm screen?  Or are you
running it after login?

Comment 17 Riku Seppala 2008-04-06 10:34:17 UTC
I don't even know how to run it from the gdm screen. :)
I'm using kdm, I login to kde, menu->system->terminal... 
This is x86_64 if it matters.

Comment 18 Daniel Walsh 2008-04-06 10:57:32 UTC
OK But did you change the keyboard from the kdm login screen?  Or after you
logged in?

Comment 19 Riku Seppala 2008-04-06 11:32:54 UTC
Like I said I don't know how you can change keyboard from the login screen, so I
changed it after I logged in.

On the console I run system-config-keyboard, select finnish (latin1), press ok
and the avc pops up. The system-config-keyboard does not close, I have to close
it by pressing the x. Now the keyboard settings is changed, but after reboot I
get us keyboard again so it's not really saved. (sorry for my poor english :) )

BTW, this is 17" laptop with numpad. 

Comment 20 Riku Seppala 2008-04-06 14:10:36 UTC
After today's updates the avc message is gone, but I still see the traceback.
(commment #9)

Comment 21 Riku Seppala 2008-04-06 15:20:35 UTC
Looks like there is bug report for that traceback
