With later Ubuntu beta versions, this bug was solved. Or at least the error message no longer shows.
The underlying problem of xorg not recognizing uk layout is still present. A little experimentation showed that setting the keymap from the command line gives me the right keyboard. I'm not sure if this is masking an underlying problem from xorg level or fixing what is broken. -- 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
