I think this kind of error went from saved session. Try to disable session saving, restart X server, reconfigure and restart again. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I came in this thought because I saw this error when the results of xprop -root | grep XKB and gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd are differnent configuration. It could be that with "session saving" active one of the two utilities cannot succed in changing options or configuration. I experimented this case in LinuxMint (Gnome desktop) and Ubuntu and in both cases disabling session manager solve the bug. Another solution is configure manually the keyboard. Maybe it's a Gnome bug? -- Error in activating xkb configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210140 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
