I rarely use X windows on one of my servers. However, for a change I
typed in startx and to my surprise X started but complained about an
internal error. The pop up box said to run the following commands if I
was going to submit a bug report...
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
which gave the following output
layouts = [us]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = []
and
xprop -root | grep XKB
which gave
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
After experimenting I found that any non root user gets the same error
message. The error window can be closed and X used without problems.
root can run X without any error messages so I assume there is a
permission problem somewhere.
This is not the old xkb error. I fixed that months ago and everything was
working fine up until now???
Any suggestions to fix this are welcome!
