Public bug reported: Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules there is the following XML Files base.xml base.extras.xml evdev.xml evdev.extras.xml plus some symbolic links. evdev & base are pretty much the same, and Gnome-control-center uses evdev files. evdev.extras.xml has information on extra language/keyboard layouts, including APL, Franch Canadian, Dvorak layouts, and so on. and these are not picked up by the keyboard layout in gnome-control-center. I copied the layout information from evdev.extras.xml and gnome-control- center picked these up, however after updates (to xkb) these files are reverted and the options are no longer available. gnome-control-center should look in both evdev.xml and evdev.extras.xml for these options ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029979 Title: Keyboard Layouts are not picked up from evdev.extras.xml To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1029979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
