Good day
I hope someone can help me out. I am trying to set up Xpra on my
headless Ubuntu server but have been having problems. I managed to find
a suggestion that I should run this command to first establish whether
Xorg is working:
Xorg -logfile /tmp/Xlog%s -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf
I am using Ubuntu 18.10 and X Server 1.20.1 (the latest version in
Ubuntu's repositories)
I did so but I just get a "XKB: Failed to compile keymap" message
followed by a Keyboard initialization failure error and advice to check
the log file at "/tmp/Xlog0" for additional information. The problem
seems to start at the last 10 or so lines of the log file starting with
a "XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp" error. The only advice I've managed to
find about this error is to install xkbcomp (x11-xkb-utils was
automatically installed with xorg) and xkeyboard-config (xkb-data was
also automatically installed).
I would greatly appreciate any help I get with this issue. Thanks!
Here are the last 20 or so lines of "/tmp/Xlog0" (you can find the full
log here: https://pastebin.com/RNabsEu8 ):
