Works fine here with us and gr layouts. Could you please try switching layouts without kxkb, e.g. run the command: setxkbmap us,hu -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle and then try to switch with Ctrl+Shift (In reply to comment #2) > Could you please try switching layouts without kxkb, e.g. run the command: > setxkbmap us,hu -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle > and then try to switch with Ctrl+Shift > Hi, I run the command, then nothing happened. After this, I tried the same from Konsole, I got: szabolcs@molni-002:~$ setxkbmap us,hu -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle Error loading new keyboard description Maybe a package is missing then? I'm confused since I don't get any error message when configuring from the gui, but I get this when trying setxkbmap check if you have all the layout files, you us and hu must be present somewhere e.g. in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ if the us and hu files are there you may try to add '-verbose 10' option to the setxkbmap also you may want to check the 'setxkbmap' command in the kxkb configuration and try to run that one. any luck with this problem? Ohm sorry, but I had no time lately :(
So:
I have the symbol files:
szabolcs@molni-002:/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols$ ls
ad bg compose eurosign group is latam me no se tj

szabolcs@molni-002:/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols$
And I get the following when setting -verbose to 10:
szabolcs@molni-002:/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols$ setxkbmap us,hu -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle -verbose 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C

Actually I have no idea yet :)
well, the problem seems to be outside of kxkb, so I'd suggest reinstalling: 1) files of xkb information (in /usr/share/X11/xkb) 2) setxkbmap itself I think in Ubuntu you can find the corresponding packages with apt-cache command Does not look like kxkb problem - closing. |
