Hide Forgot
Description of problem: At some moment during rawhide updates the following error started to show up in ~/.xsession-errors: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:3541): WARNING **: Could not activate the XKB configuration This is nominally only a warning bug _every_ time I am starting a desktop session an alert with the following text shows up on a screen: =============== Error activating XKB configuration. There can be various reasons for that. If you report this situation as a bug, include results of * xprop -root | grep XKB * gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model * gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts * gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options ================ The only option to deal with that is "Close" and that is about it. Those 'gsettings get' this alert asks about return '' for "model", "@as []" for layouts and the same "@as []" for options. Does not matter what I was trying to do with keyboard settings I could not get rid off of that alert which seems now like a permanent fixture. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-2.91.8-1.fc15 How reproducible: always Expected results: No alerts which are lacking even vague hints how to deal with an "error" situation and some means to configure a keyboard. Additional info: Desktop is now for quite a while either mostly broken or at least partially broken so I was not in a hurry reporting this problem in a hope that it will go away when things will get somewhat saner. Right now the situation is that gnome-session starts error reporting with: gnome-session[3475]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'gnome-shell' of required component 'windowmanager' gnome-session[3475]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'gnome-shell' of required component 'panel' and after that there are no icons, menus, window-frames or anything beyond a desktop background (unless started by some other means) so I cannot check what kind of "Preferences" are provided. Only the last time I have seen something like that there was no apparent way to set/adjust a keyboard layout options and this is a major BOO-BOO unless there are some other ways to deal with such settings of which I am not aware of. In particular "Ctrl" key in the lower left keyboard corner is for me absolutely unacceptable.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
