Strange context menu with additional separator

Linux: 3.0.0-16-generic
Kubuntu: 11.04
KDE: 4.8.00 (4.8.0

I have configured two keyboard layouts.
Sometimes keyboard layout switcher stops working: I cannot change layout by pressing keyboard shortcut, nor by left clicking on icon, nor by selecting layout from list of context menu of icon; and in list is added separator between layouts (see screenshot).

Remedy: open layout configurator change something - Apply - change back - Apply, but till next time.

I still not figured what causes this bug.

Maybe is worth to mention: in past I had bug #286302

"setxkbmap -print" when switcher doenst work:
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"     };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

"setxkbmap -print" after mentioned "remedy":
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+lt:2+inet(evdev)"        };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc101)"     };
};

Comment 2 Valdas 2012-03-20 20:44:13 UTC
I again encounter this Bug. I checked "setxkbmap -print": again difference in "+lt:2".
Comment 3 Andriy Rysin 2012-03-21 01:58:34 UTC
It looks like something is resetting your layout configuration to default - just 'us'. It could be keyboard layout switcher but it could be some other program. And because the keyboard layout switcher sees 'lt' in your config file it shows it as a 'spare' layout.
Could you please attach our ~/.xsession-errors file (if it's too big please limit it to the day/hours around the time when you lost your 'lt' layout) and specify the time you've lost layout if you can so I can try to see if keyboard layout switcher did something funny around that time.

".xsession-errors"  file from my system

Now my system is Kubuntu 12.04 64bit.
I thought that bug is gone, but it strikes again. I was browsing web (with Firefox) and realized that I can't switch layout. I attaching ".xsession-errors" - I immediately copied it when switcher was stuck.

Thanks for Help
Comment 5 Emil Sedgh 2012-07-31 20:15:46 UTC
I have the exact same issue.
I have this is my ~/.Xmodmap:
keycode  66 = Num_Lock NoSymbol Num_Lock
clear Lock

Not sure if its related to the issue.
Poke me on #kde-devel if you need more information.
Comment 6 Emil Sedgh 2012-12-09 14:23:19 UTC
Hi.
I investigated this issue and found the cause.
kxkbd uses '_XKB_RF_NAMES_PROP_ATOM' property to get available layouts.
However, this atom is deprecated in xorg.

xorg now stores a list of available layouts 'per each device'. 

So what does it have to do with our issue? You probably plug in a device which X detects as a new keyboard. (Some wireless mouses are recognized as keyboards as well).

When you do that, X updates _XKB_RF_NAMES_PROP_ATOM to layouts of your new keyboard, which is probably only 'us'.

There are a couple ways of fixing this issue:
1) KDE gives up on _XKB_RF_NAMES_PROP_ATOM and uses whatever X suggests now.

2) X adds compatibility to _XKB_RF_NAMES_PROP_ATOM. Please note that while _XKB_RF_NAMES_PROP_ATOM is deprecated, its not removed completely. X updates it for each new device.

I tried reading and understanding X'es code to bring back  compatibility. Did not manage to complete it, though.

Comment 7 Emil Sedgh 2012-12-10 16:04:30 UTC
Oh, and there's a third way of fixing this:
Whenever a new keyboard is attached, KDE applies keyboard settings again.

This is what Gnome does, according to xorg developers.
Comment 8 Andriy Rysin 2012-12-11 12:57:50 UTC
keyboard layout daemon reapplies configured layout on every keyboard plug-in event, it's been like this for a while (I think since 2010 or even longer)
Comment 9 Emil Sedgh 2012-12-12 20:10:48 UTC
Hello again.
Then, the problem is that the deamon detects the device as a mouse, but xorg detects it as a mouse AND keyboard.
(This is a bluetooth-based wireless mouse dongle. I guess some models use the same device to attach both mouse and keyboard)

Comment 10 Andriy Rysin 2012-12-13 00:04:09 UTC
Ahh, that's good info, thanks! As you can see when KDE receives xinput event both mouse and keyboard for this devices reported as .use == 4 and from define file:
#define IsXPointer	0
#define IsXKeyboard	1
#define IsXExtensionDevice	2
#define IsXExtensionKeyboard	3
#define IsXExtensionPointer	4
so keyboard daemon thinks it's both mice and only reapplies mouse configuration.

I am not sure if it's a bug in the xinput/driver or kde uses some API that's not reliable (seems like x.org actually knows that right type for id=16 is keyboard). I'll try to take a look at that but does not look like an easy problem so any more info is appreciated.

There is similiar bug in kde 4.10 rc3 - after system goes to sleep, keyboard layout indicator stops working. Layouts can be switched with hotkey, but indicator won't show it and after changing window focus to another window it will switch back to default language.

vaniaz, could you please attach you  ~/.xsession-errors after you resume from sleep?

If you can provide the information requested in comment #12, please add it.

.xsession-errors

Haven't experienced this bug for a lot of time, here is xsession-errors which you asked of me. Hope this helps.
Comment 15 Oleksandr Natalenko 2013-02-18 11:24:09 UTC
Confirm this bug on 4.10 in Arch Linux.
Comment 16 Andriy Rysin 2013-02-22 23:50:28 UTC
Oleksandr could you please provide your .xsession-errors right after the problem happens, thanks.
Comment 17 Oleksandr Natalenko 2013-02-23 10:37:58 UTC
Yes. I guess the following lines shows the problem:

kded(1665) X11Helper::getCurrentLayout: Current group number 1 is outside of current layout list ("us") 
kded(1665) X11Helper::getCurrentLayouts: Current group number 1 is outside of current layout list ("us")

Comment 18 Andriy Rysin 2013-02-24 15:30:59 UTC
Thanks Oleksandr. It looks like something is resetting the layout cofiguration, which is similar to what Emil reported above. Could you please put kded daemon in debug mode (with kdebugdialog) and when this problem happens again, attach your .xsession-errors, kxkbrc and Xorg.*.log files?

Comment 20 Oleksandr Natalenko 2013-02-24 20:39:42 UTC
Hmm, well, I guess I know how to fix the issue.

As you can see my X detects webcam as input device. I just added /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-webcam.conf with the following lines:

===
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_E4HD"
        MatchProduct    "Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_E4HD"
        Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
===

And the problem seems to be gone. Will test it a bit more and then report it either closed or will investigate more.

Please try my solution.
Comment 21 Andriy Rysin 2013-02-24 23:10:43 UTC
thanks for the information!, your .xsession-errors starts a bit too late, I was hoping to see the reaction of kxkb kded daemon to new device event from xinput
but from x.org log it looks that device is added and then layout is set, which means keyboard daemon can't use the event itself to fix layouts back - it's too early at that point...
I'll try to play with it a bit but I'm not sure if there's an easy solution...
Comment 22 chilankora 2013-02-25 07:38:10 UTC
Same here with Gentoo, KDE 4.10
I can only set layout via set "setxkbmap de", but startu KDE does not recognize it

Comment 23 Andriy Rysin 2013-02-27 03:48:06 UTC
chilankora, your backtrace is not very informative but looks like you're using propitiatory nvidia drivers so that could be the source of the problem:
somewhere between libnvidia-tls.so and kded_ktouchpadenabler.so
Comment 24 Andriy Rysin 2013-02-27 03:59:26 UTC
There seems to be some problems in how X.org treats new devices (e.g. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49950) and applies keyboard layouts. KDE has a code that supposed to reconfigure the layouts every time new keyboard device is attached (and reconfigure mouse every time new mouse is attached). This code works for me when I plug in my old USB camera - its "PWC snapshot button" is recognized as keyboard device, "us" layout is used, kded kicks in on XINPUT device change event and reconfigures layouts to again to "us,ua".

My current theory is that X.org does not handle some devices right. E.g. from Oleksandr .xsession-errors:

kded(1665) KeyboardConfig::load: configuring layouts true configuring options true kded(1665) X11Helper::getGroupNames: Fetched layout groups from X server: layouts: ("us") variants: ("") kded(1665) LayoutMemory::layoutMapChanged: Layout map change: "us,ru,ua(winkeys)," --> "us," 

the first line suggests kded has received xinput event for new device and reconfigured layouts, but then X.org reset the layouts back to "us", as kded is done at that point the right layout configuration is lost. The workaround for this problem in kded code would be quite ugly and it would be on top of existing workaround. So far the easiest solution is for the user to do what Oleksandr did.

BTW Oleksandr, I would suggest to use "us,ua" layout instead of "us,ru,ua(winkeys)" - "ua" layout has Russian keys in 3rd level so you would not need 3 layouts.

Should I be experiencing this very bug in KDE 4.11.2 (fresh install)?
Comment 29 Andriy Rysin 2013-10-17 13:25:21 UTC
Michael, theoretically this should be fixed but if you see some problems please provide the description and .xsession-errors file.
Comment 30 Michael D 2013-10-18 07:11:37 UTC
My .xsession-errors has the contents:

Script for cjkv started at run_im.
Script for default started at run_im.

I added US English and German/Swiss layouts to the "Configure layouts" section. I can adjust those settings, e.g. by moving a layout up, and then applying settings, which then allows the layouts to be switched using e.g. the widget in the system tray. Without adjusting those settings, layouts cannot be switched.

This is under Kubuntu 13.10 final.
Comment 31 Andriy Rysin 2013-10-18 13:19:30 UTC

.xsession-errors log

That .xsession-error log does not have information to debug the problem. The only thing it suggests is that the keyboard layouts were modified by some IM script after which keyboard layout module may not work.
If you're using IM modules though you probably don't want to rely on keyboard layout module to perform the switching. Either use IM for everything or use only keyboard layout module.
Comment 34 Michael D 2013-10-19 21:28:25 UTC
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. In particular, what's an IM module? I'm just a regular user with a pretty default Kubuntu/KDE configuration. I am using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, if that matters. (I also have an external card reader attached.)
Comment 35 Valdas 2013-10-20 12:24:02 UTC
Bug strikes again (KUbuntu 13.10, KDE v4.11.2,  kernel 3.8.0-31-generic 64bit). 
Attaching ".xsession-errors.tar.gz". "setxkbmap -print" is same as in description of bug report.

 What I was doing:
- started system;
- opened Firefox (v24.0),  Kdevelop (v4.5.1), Krusader (v2.4.0-beta3), Okular (v0.17.2);
- in Krusader viewing some files;
- in Kdevel editing project (during that I successfully  switched keyboard layout more than one time).

 Suddenly switcher stops working (during some window switch between Kursader's viewer and Kdevelop, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Kdevelop, Mouse Select and Mouse Middle in Kdevelop).

 Should I reopen bug?

 Any suggestions how I can collect more debug info (some "watchers", additional logging)?

Comment 37 Andriy Rysin 2013-10-20 15:27:35 UTC
It looks like IM (input methods) configuration is messing up with keyboard layouts (you can tell it starts by "Script started for cjkv" line in the .xsession-errors). 
I am not using Ubuntu so I can't tell for sure, but I would check im-config package or something like that and if you're not using input methods (mostly for asian langugages) remove it and see if this problem happens again.
If it still does happen you can run kdebugdialog and check kded4 checkbox, then keyboard daemon will produce more information in .xession-errors

".xsessions-errors" with more info

 I enabled "kded4" in "kdebugdialog".
 Now same applications same work type as in comment #35 and again after some successful layout's switches I switcher stops working. I attached the Log.
  Package "im-config" exists in my system. I will remove it, maybe that helps.
Comment 39 Michael D 2013-10-22 12:17:13 UTC
I removed the package im-config and the problems hasn't arisen since; looks like that's the culprit. Fortunately I can live without the package.

Thanks for the help Andriy.
Comment 40 Andriy Rysin 2013-10-22 13:43:28 UTC
cool, looks like we either have to detect IM tools in keyboard configuration UI and warn the user or just properly integrate IM in KDE. Sounds like a good task for GSoC 2014 :)

Comment 42 Andriy Rysin 2013-10-22 14:52:47 UTC
Valdas, did you re-login after you uninstalled im-config (I assume im is per session so you probably don't need to reboot but you'd have to relogin as the daemon may still be running after uninstall)?
Comment 43 Valdas 2013-10-22 16:42:51 UTC
 Yes, laptop was turned off and (next morning) turned on.
 Maybe this info helps: to switch layouts I using keyboard shortcut only.
Comment 44 Andriy Rysin 2013-10-22 19:14:10 UTC
ok, that's not good, and your .xsession-errors does not have any
output from keyboard daemon :(
Could you please do this:
1) rename or remove your .xsession-errors
2) run kdebugdailog and check kded (if present) and kded4
3) log out and log in
4) hopefully after login in your .xsession-errors you'll see some
messages about keyboard layouts
4) when problem hits again, please attach your .xsession-errors file

Thanks Valdas, I have a suspicion on why it stops working (wacom device resetting xkb map) but just to be sure could you please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

"Xorg.0.log" from same day as ".xsession-errors" in comment #46

 Yes, I have Wacom tablet (old). It is connected through USB hub. 
 Maybe this info helps: sometimes (caused by sag or spike in mains, I think) I get notification like "Tablet disconnected" and then "Tabled connected". Or when I replug USB-RS232 adapter in to mentioned USB hub then sometimes adapter was not recognized and "dmesg" reports like "not enough bandwidth to enumerate new USB device".

Comment 51 oneofmymailaddresses 2014-02-08 13:32:04 UTC
Hi guys,
I'm new to this. Just wanted to mention that something similar happens with opensuse13.1+awesome wm. The setxkbmap stops working when launching nearly any programs except the terminal emulators. Whenever I removed the xinit and xorg-x11 packages, things start to function normally. This is not the case with gnome, but i had the same problem with opensuse13.1+KDE.
Comment 52 samwaters888 2015-12-09 05:21:07 UTC
Hi,  Problem persists into 2015 - but only happens occasionally.  I can fix it with a reboot, but then spend 30 minutes setting up my 6 desktops, etc.

So, is there something I can type command-line which will prevent this when I try to switch to the layout working 10 minutes prior ...

plasma-desktop(21550) LayoutsMenu::switchToLayout: switchToLayout with unknown layout "us"

I tried stopping / restarting plasma-desktop (kill all), but this did not fix it.  I can remove the layout and create a new one with the "Keyboard - KDE Control Module", and it shows up in the list.  But I get the error above if I try to switch to it, and the indicator visible in the taskbar remains on the "default" keyboard layout, which is not even listed in the layouts shown in the Control Module.

KDE Development Platform: 4.10.5 / CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

Again - not looking to deal with this beyond a simple command I can issue to restart whatever is broken.  Thanks Much.
Comment 53 Valdas 2015-12-09 09:04:38 UTC
I use workaround: right click on layout indicator -> settings -> change something simple -> undo change -> apply.

Comment 61 jacob.greenstein 2016-04-27 22:56:38 UTC
I have the same problem on Kubuntu 15.10 and Kubuntu 16.04. Actually, the problem has two parts. One is that from time to time layout switching short cut key (I use left Win key for that) and Compose key stop working; Ctrl-Alt-K still switches layouts. This can only be reset via System Preferences (any change in the layout configuration works). Sometimes on top of that the second layout becomes a "spare layout".
Comment 62 Marco 2016-07-22 13:50:32 UTC
This bug is indeed very annoying, on a daily basis. I've found a way to always reproduce:

1. Reboot and log into KDE. Now everything works well and "setxkbmap -print" gives
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+it:2+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)"   };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc101)"     };
};

2. Suspend to RAM and resume. Now the shortcut does not work, nor left clicks on the tray icon.
"setxkbmap -print" is now:
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };                                                                                                                         
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)"     };                                                                                                                 
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };                                                                                                                         
};

3. If I right click on the tray icon, and select US keymap, the locale changes but (1) shortcut and left click on tray icon are still not working, (2) if I right click on tray icon, I see two entries for US and one for IT. Very strange.

This bug is indeed very annoying, on a daily basis. I've found a way to always reproduce:

1. Reboot and log into KDE. Now everything works well and "setxkbmap -print" gives
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+it:2+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)"   };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc101)"     };
};

2. Suspend to RAM and resume. Now the shortcut does not work, nor left clicks on the tray icon.
"setxkbmap -print" is now:
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };                                                                                                                         
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+it+inet(evdev)"     };                                                                                                                 
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };                                                                                                                         
};

3. If I right click on the tray icon, and select US keymap, the locale changes but (1) shortcut and left click on tray icon are still not working, (2) if I right click on tray icon, I see two entries for US and one for IT. Very strange. Now it is

xkb_keymap {

Let me know if I can do more.
Comment 64 Juha Tuomala 2016-11-02 09:38:04 UTC
Same here, my desktop sometimes loses a) layout b) selection button in system tray during idling when i close screens and leave it for night running.

I tried to switch some kdebugdialog entries to see what goes on in .xseession-errors and regardless what do I switch on and off, it keeps puking the same old debug stream it was before this problem.
Comment 65 nilsocket 2020-06-17 15:13:25 UTC
Unable to change keyboard layout.

I have added a Layout as follows:

Limit Selection by Language: English
Layout                     : Indian
Variant                    : English (with Indian Rupee)
Label                      : IN

Preview is also not working.
Thank you.

Forgot to add System Info:

Comment 67 MithK 2020-07-23 14:43:45 UTC
Same problem as nilsocket

If I insert the Indian keyboard layout in the keyboard layout configuration in systemsettings I can't switch between the different keyboard layouts, and the applet in the systray disappears.

I have added the Indian keyboard layout as follows:

Limit Selection by Language: Any language
Layout                     : Indian
Variant                    : Sanskrit (KaGaPa, Phonetic)
Label                      : in

This was merged 9 months ago, should we close this bug then?
