In my case, (a macbook pro 5.5 with lucid) I get this also when coming back from suspend (I get about 20 concurrent popups with the same error) and also when asociating my bluetooth mouse (about 5 concurrent popups).
When I boot the machine, the keyboard is unresponsive in gdm until, having 2 keyboard layouts available (in this case us mac and us) and switch from one to the other starts working As a side note, even tough this error pops up when making changes in the keyboard settings, the changes get applied. fran...@naru:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [us mac,us] options = [lv3 lv3:lalt_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle] model = macbook79 fran...@naru:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "macbook79", "us,us", ",mac", "lv3:lalt_switch" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "macbook79", "us,us", ",mac", "lv3:lalt_switch" -- Error activating XKB configuration after choosing Apple Macbook Pro Keyboard in System --> Preferences --> Keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
