[X2Go-User] Keyboard issues

[Vicker, Darby (JSC-EG311)]

Hello,

I'm having the same issues as described here:

http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2015-May/003171.html

In my case its a OSX client (4.0.5.0 – from x2go.org) and a CentOS 7 server (4.0.1.19 – from EPEL).  I'm trying to fire up a MATE session and the keyboard is not set properly when using tcsh as my login shell but it does work properly for bash.  There wasn't a solution in the above thread, other than switching to bash.  Has anyone found a workaround for tcsh?  More info on my investigation.

I would greatly appreciate any help in figuring out the problem or a good workaround.

Thanks,
Darby


In either case I get a message on login that says:




Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
 a bug in libxklavier library
 a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
 X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
70000000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
 The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
 The result of gsettings list-keys org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.kbd




I'm sure this is related but since my keyboard is fine on base I don't think this is the root cause.

$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };

xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
