Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.5+1
File: /usr/bin/xkbcomp
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I've just upgraded my system. I can no longer switch layouts in X. I
have
Option "XkbLayout" "us(dvorak),us,ru(common)"
in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which was working beautifully before the
upgrade.
Running xkbsel results in:
$ xkbsel us
Error: success in unknown
Couldn't write keyboard description to :0.0
/usr/bin/xkbcomp exited abnormally: 256
Here's the debug output:
$ xkbsel --debug us

Running /usr/bin/xkbcomp -o ':0.0' '/var/lib/xkbsel/compiled/xfree86/us.xkm'
Error: success in unknown
Couldn't write keyboard description to :0.0
/usr/bin/xkbcomp exited abnormally: 256
Running the failing command from a shell is no different:
$ /usr/bin/xkbcomp -o ':0.0' '/var/lib/xkbsel/compiled/xfree86/us.xkm'
Error: success in unknown
Couldn't write keyboard description to :0.0
However, the following commands work and do switch the keyboard
layout:
$ setxkbmap us
$ setxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY
