A syntax error is inside one of the keymap files. In this case it is inside the '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/by' file:
<TLDE> { [ Cyrillic_io, Cyrillic_IO apostrophe, asciitilde ] };) There is no comma between 'Cyrillic_IO' and 'apostrophe'. It was made by my mistake, but this leads to the error message displayed which is not helpful for diagnosting the cause of the issue. -- Xorg, GNOME: Keyboard Preferences displays non user-friendly erorr https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
