Description Jon Stanley 2008-04-14 15:14:04 UTC

In QA for bug 440499, I used system-config-keyboard to switch the keyboard
layout from US English to US International.  I then tried immediately switching
back to US English, got this python traceback and the window won't close (will
post in another comment from the VM itself since copy/paste won't work outside
my VM :) )

Comment 1 Jon Stanley 2008-04-14 15:16:05 UTC

Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz
Parse error on line 14 of section InputDevice in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
	This section must have an Identifier line.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/keyboard_gui.py", line 226, in _okClicked
    return self.apply(None, False)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/keyboard_gui.py", line 117, in apply
    keyboardBackend.modifyXconfig(fullname, layout, model, variant, options)

system-config-keyboard'

Comment 2 Jon Stanley 2008-04-14 15:22:38 UTC

I see, it does indeed create a malformed X configuration as stated in the traceback:

# Keyboard added by system-config-keyboard      Identifier  "Keyboard0"

This has the US International layout in it, and it seems like s-c-k (or probably
anything else) can't grok that anymore.

The comment and 'Identifier' should be on separate lines.

Comment 3 Jon Stanley 2008-04-14 15:28:07 UTC

Yeah, X won't start with this config (not surprisingly)

Comment 4 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-04-14 15:40:22 UTC

Use a more recent build.

Comment 5 Jon Stanley 2008-04-14 18:37:22 UTC

confirmed working in system-config-keyboard-1.2.15-2.fc9 - but that didn't make
today's rawhide even though it's tagged.  I'll follow up on that.
