[Bug 327963] Re: Error activating XKB configuration with MacBook keyboard model
I was having the exact same issue, but then with a Macbook 79 model
keyboard (Macbook/Pro Intl) and the US International with AltGr dead
keys.
One of the commenters in the FreeDesktop bug correctly notes that there
might actually be little use for these symbols anymore, but since I'm
not exactly an XKB guru I find it too hard to tell.
Anway, I added
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "altgr-intl"{
include "us(altgr-intl)"
};
to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/us and the error went away.
Everything works as it should AFAICT.

I agree, just filed bug #328980 for this. It's a bit tricky, as it involves multiple packages. > As to the secondary bug of the error activating XKB, that's a well known issue so will dupe to that. Undupe (and clarify) if you'd like something differently done. I had bug #67188 considered before filing mine, but the mention of editing xorg.conf in the headline didn't seem to apply to me at all, so I filed a new one. Now that I've read all the comments in #67188, I get the feeling that it is a large collection of bugs with quite different reasons, but all looking the same due to missing error messages. Some, like bug #67188 comment #38, are the same as this one here, while others have different causes, for which I don't know the reason. For lack of information, I expect #67188 to remain open for quite a long time. In contrast to this, the scope of what I request for here is much clearer, and a fix is possible. Therefore I'd undupe and ask that you 1. make macintosh_vndr/de(mac_nodeadkeys) an alias for macintosh_vndr/de(nodeadkeys) 2. Do the same for the deadkeys variant 3. Do the same for languages other than "de" with similar configuration The attached patch tries to follow this approach. I grepped fro '"mac' in symbols/* and then made sure the same variants were included as aliases in symbols/macintosh_vndr/*. Not tested yet. You might, on the other hand, be of the opinion that having different names for the same symbols is not the way to go, and that instead of providing these aliases at the xkb-data level, the user interface should prevent the user from selecting such combinations. In that case, another bug for the Gnome control-center would be in order, while you might mark this as invalid for xkeyboard-config. ** Attachment added: "Add aliases for mac layouts" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22577721/bug327963a.diff ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 67188 "Error activating XKB configuration." - Requires manual xorg.conf editing -- Error activating XKB configuration with MacBook keyboard model https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327963 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

> both combinations don't fully match the key labels. I guess I'll take that back. Having the left Alt key perform as AltGr as it does in Mac OS X doesn't seem to make too much sense, as many applications expect the existence of an Alt/Meta key to invoke commands. The right Alt key works as AltGr and allows access to all those special symbols in the same location where OS X has them. Therefore, simply extending the definition to make macintosh_vndr/de(mac_nodeadkeys) an alias for macintosh_vndr/de(nodeadkeys) might be enough to avoid the error and yield reasonable results.

[Bug 327963] [NEW] Error activating XKB configuration with MacBook keyboard model
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xkb-data
I've got Intrepid installed on a MacBookPro5,1 with German keyboard
layout. I started configuring the keyboads using gnome-keyboard-
properties as available from the settings menu. I first selected the
layout "Germany Macintosh, eliminate dead keys" and followed that up
with changing the model to "MacBook/MacBook Pro (Intl)". This resulted
in an error message "Error activating XKB configuration" which asked me
to prvide this additional information:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "de", "mac_nodeadkeys", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "de", "mac_nodeadkeys", ""
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = []
model = macbook79
options = []
As the error message from the dialog contains little actual information,
I straced gnome-settings-daemon and identified a failing invocation of
xkbcomp as the likely cause of the issue. By renaming /usr/bin/xkbcomp
and replacing it with a wrapper script, I managed to get my hands on its
input file and reproduce the issue:
$ cat /tmp/fileJPMGgA
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete+numpad(mac)" };
xkb_compat{ include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+macintosh_vndr/de(mac_nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macbook79)" };
};
$ xkbcomp -I -I/usr/share/X11/xkb -xkm /tmp/fileJPMGgA /tmp/fileNtKqh7
Error:No Symbols named "mac_nodeadkeys" in the include file
"macintosh_vndr/de"
Exiting
Abandoning symbols file "(null)"
That looks like a much better error description. Looking at
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/de I see that indeed it
doesn't contain a description of "mac_nodeadkeys". Neither does it
include /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de where the mac_nodeadkeys would
have been defined. Changing the layout to simple "Germany Eliminate dead
keys", I could use the MacBook keyboard model all right, just as
mac_nodeadkeys layout worked all right with a Generic keyboard model.
However, both combinations don't fully match the key labels.
My first concern is that for an obvious choice like a MacBook keyboard
model with a mac keyboard layout, no obscure error messages should be
generated by the Gnome UI. Secondly, it would be nice to actually get
Mac keyboard layout, in order to stay consistent with OS X and friends.
