[Bug 237362] Re: Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome
Server (running Xtightvnc) is karmic, client (running vinagre) is maverick. I have the same problem, and XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 solves it. There are lots of messages and bug reports on this since feisty, including weird suggestions to disable gnome-session or set up an invalid keymap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237362 Title: Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 237362] Re: Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome
I found this problem solution in another thread and the XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 fix works great - now I can use an XP desktop as a thin client to my Karmic server. You mentioned the gnome-session script fix that seems user independent. Where, exactly, is this file?

[Bug 237362] Re: Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome
by http://blog.yclian.com/2007/12/3-solutions-to-gnomevnc-keyboard.html , we have a workaround... Add the line below in the $HOME/.vnc/xstartup , before the gnome-session startup export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 Example: # in .vnc/xstartup xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE gnome-session As this is soo old (at least 4 years) and still isnt fixed, a permament workaround should be addin to the gnome-sesson script a check like this: if [ ! -z $VNCDESKOP ] ; then XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE fi This should be put by default in gnome in ubuntu (and debian and gnome, etc), as AFAIK, there is no side effects in VNC sessions other solution is not to use gnome in vnc, but that seens stupid :) -- Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I would like to point out that this problem does not occur with the vnc4server package.

[Bug 237362] Re: Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome
This sounds to me as though tightvnc is failing to cope with the keycodes generated by the evdev X input driver. (I don't know much more than this, so please don't ask me for more guesswork; you'd have to consult X experts, maybe #ubuntu-x on irc.freenode.net?) ** Package changed: keymapper (Ubuntu) = tightvnc (Ubuntu) -- Broken keymap using Tightvnc w/ Gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
