Hi,
I am trying to debug a strange problem with the keyboard in a x2go session to a server using XFCE and OpenSuse 13.1.
The session works fine but the "Del" key does not work.
These were the steps I followed:
- Initially the "Del" key behaved like the print screen key and there were other keys behaving oddly like Insert key or cursor keys that did not work
- Changing x2goclient session preferences from current preferences to keyboard map "es" and model to "pc105/es" did not do produce any change
- Modifying XFCE keyboard configuration and specifying the keyboard model as "Generic 105 key (Intl) PC" in the advanced options makes the cursor keys work and "Del" stops behaving like print screen.
I have checked session.log and the only error I see is: nxagentXkbGetRules: WARNING! Failed to stat file [/usr/local/lib/nx/X11/xkb/rules/xorg]: Unknown error -1.
In fact this warning appears also in other server I have running Scientific Linux 6.4 and Gnome where keyboard works correctly.
Running xev I see "Del" key is not recognized as a KeyPress event but as a series of FocusOut, FocusIn and KeymapNotify events:
FocusOut event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
I would really appreciate any hint about how to continue debugging the problem.
Thanks, Javier
Hi,
I have been trying with different types of sessions and LXDE showed similar issues to XFCE but in this case the keyboard problems are solved running:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout esafter the session is started.
It seems the setxbmap is not executed automatically in the case of LXDE. Looking at the source code I see no difference in x2gostartagent that depends on the type of session so that in the case of LXDE the keyboard is not configured but I must admit I do not understand quite well the keyboard setup process.
Any idea to debug the XFCE problem will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
