[Bug 289918] Re: Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid
I still had this bug on 13.04 with FreeNX ppa package connecting to the 13.04 server from a 12.04 client. The only solution (no specific setkbmap or xmodmap line worked [even matching what I got in 'xev' !], I could not find evdev in keyboard options [despite it in kernel and xorg.conf.d], and no gconf/dconf unset worked either) that succeeded for me was on client: xmodmap -pke localxmodmap (transfer localxmodmap to server) on server: xmodmap localxmodmap I post on this resolved bug (many forums list 12.10 users struggling) only to help others.

[Bug 289918] Re: Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid
This is broken for me and none of the workarounds have helped. My client and server machines are both running Lucid. I am running the official NX client and server so the bug is not in freenx. I'd be nice if we could get the importance bumped up from low and hopefully get the bug assigned to someone. As a result of this bug, I am completely unable to work on my machine since replacing my openSUSE install with Ubuntu.

I've just managed to get things working on my machines. My guess is that re-loading the evdev module did the trick (I actually did a full server reboot). I was already using evdev as the keyboard on both the server and client. That was working fine until I upgraded the server to KDE 4. This (re-) broke the keyboard mappings. I tried restarting the free nx service, xdm service, logging out / in. No help.

[Bug 289918] Re: Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid
The problem with the evdev-solution is that it causes problems for those users that may be on the physical machine. E.g. when I log into my home server over FreeNX the keyboard now works. However if I log in locally the keyboard is broken (same problem - except now in reverse). Hence one must either change the keyboard layout every time one changes login method, or one must choose which keyboard is more important; remote or local. There have been a number of updates, but the problem seems to persist. -- Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I too have had this problem.

The same at my configuration (Interprid - Hardy, both system uses NoMachin FreeNX).

[Bug 289918] Re: Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid
I found that setting my keyboard on the client to Generic-102 key (Intl) fixed it for me. I'm running Kubuntu but I installed gnome specifically to address this issue (The KDE system config stuff is crap). Switching back to KDE, it also seemed OK. NB: I am using KDM as my DM. Using evdev from the gnome configuration settings, oddly, did not stick for a gnome environment but did for kde (every time I decided to click to apply the changes system-wide). -- Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 289918] Re: Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid
This is a bug in gnome-control-center. The keyboard model is changed, but the key bindings are not updated to use the new keycodes. To repeat this behavior you need to: 1 ) Use evdev driver. 2 ) Start the X session using xfree86 or xorg xkb rules. 3 ) Up arrow will take an screenshot. 4 ) Change keyboard model to evdev. 5 ) Up arrow will still take an screenshot. 6 ) Go to keyboard shortcuts and change the Take screenshot to ctrl-print and close. 7 ) Go to keyboard shortcuts and change the Take screenshot to print and close. 8 ) Up arrow will not take an screenshot anymore. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = gnome-control-center -- Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I tried it with Gnome, KDE, IceWM and even a bare xterm on the server side, all with the same effect. So I don't think it has anything to do with the chosen desktop environment. -- Regression: Connecting to FreeNX breaks keyboard layout in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
