I started experiencing this bug in Lucid -Beta 1 (most likely after a large number of updates on 31-03-2010 from the repos were taken in) whenever I tried to add any of the Tamil and Sinhala keymaps. The Tamil keymaps are under symbols file "in" with couple of them cross listed in "lk" and the Sinhala keymap is in "lk".
The "include" lines in these from which trailing semicolons have to be removed (as can be found with the grep statement given in bug description) are : /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/lk: include "nbsp(zwnj2nb3s)"; /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in: include "nbsp(zwnj3zwj4)"; /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in: include "nbsp(zwnj3zwj4)"; I confirm that the removal of the trailing semicolons in the above three solves the issue for the Tamil and Sinhala keymaps. I hope this bugfixing gets into updates quickly since there are users (atleast among Tamil users I know of) who exclusively depend on xkb- extension keymaps for non-english typography. -- typo in some symbol files in xkb-data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553401 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
