From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: It is something like bug #120858... I've done every fix related that bug without success to solve this problem. This bug comes with Hungarian layouts only. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start gnome-keyboard-properties 2.choose layouts 3.try to add any Hungarian layout 4.an error dialog appears with the error message in bug #120858 Actual Results: An error dialog appears with the error message in bug #120858 Expected Results: add the Hungarian to the active layouts Additional info: I am after an upgrade from FC1 to FC2
Same here, but I had a clean FC2 install not an upgrade. Also tried all from bug #120858. The other layouts are Ok, but not the Hungarians.
I had a clean install and also experinced the same. The only workout were i i set up the hungarian layout as default. (Have you ever attempted to operate a *nix computer with hu layout ? :)
IIRC Hungarian layout in XFree/XOrg was not combinable with others. Sorry for that. (XKeyboardConfig fixed it). Did you try to use _only_ Hungarian?
Same problem... Some observations: If I use Gnome via VNC, everything looks fine. However the right-click popup menu on the applet is different, so does the coming up keyboard properties, and the applet looks different: it shows the national flags instead of simply the textual name of the country. So I guess it is some path problem that the X that VNC uses handless well. (Or the VNC startup sets the paths correctly?)
Hehe:) VNC does not have XKB extension. In this case gnome keyboard indicator falls back to the old gkb-new code - which has completely different UI etc etc. So everything is working as expected - new code is working for XKB only. Patches to add support for xmodmap to libxklavier are mostly welcome.
I do not know how much it helps, but with system-config-redhat I can switch the default layout to Hungarian, and it works properly. [root@home_desktop xkb]# system-config-keyboard Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/hu101.map.gz * running ['/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap', '-layout', 'hu_qwerty', '-model', 'pc105', '-option', ''] For me it is a workaround now.
You can use Hungarian. But you cannot mix it with other layouts IIRC.

According to comment #3, the switch to xkeyboard-config should have fixed the problem of combining hungarian with other layouts.
