i'm using hardy on a lenovo R61, last updated about 12 hours ago. i had
been using a keyboard (crd) i made in etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us , it was
working fine (i had USA and USA2 keyboards, the USA2 was the crd and
default). the keyboard variant was added to USA in
/etc/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml as follows
<description>With EuroSign on 5</description>
</configItem>
</variant>
<variant>
<configItem>
<name>crd</name>
<description>Coeur D'Alene Salish</description>
</configItem>
</variant>
<variant>
<configItem>
<name>intl</name>
i added an additional keyboard to us today and got the bug message when i
reboot. the old keyboard (crd/USA2) did not work. i checked the keyboard
preferences and it was still selected as default. i deleted the new keyboard,
reboot, and still got the bug message. i returned my default to USA, and
removed the USA2/crd keyboard. i then tried to add it, but it was no longer an
option in the selection list. it should be noted i know nothing about
computers, though can use the terminal under adult supervision.
