Pidgin needs to be compiled with --enable-trayicon-compat or you will have this problem.

Hi Karl,
Thanks for looking at my code.
| Karl Godt wrote: | If i issue
setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc102 -layout us,de -variant ",alt-intl" -option grp:rwin_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch
in terminal
i get
Error loading new keyboard description |
The order of the variant list is important. It needs to be in the same order as the layout list. The initial comma in ",alt-intl" indicates that the first field is empty. So no variant is assigned to the first layout. The second variant is assigned to the second layout.
So setxkbmap tries to assign the alt-intl variant to the de layout. But there is no such variant defined for the de layout, so you get an error message.
| Karl Godt wrote: | setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc102 -layout us,de -variant "alt-intl" -option grp:rwin_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch
works ok . |
Yes. Now setxkbmap tries to assign the alt-intl variant to the us layout, which is a valid combination, so it succeeds.
Using -layout de,us -variant ",alt-intl" is also legal.
| Karl Godt wrote: | +++ new/XkbLayoutConfig
probably needs to be
| Code: | | + VARIANTS=`echo "$VARIANTS" | sed 's/^,//;s/,$//'` |
|
The purpose of that line is only to remove a trailing comma that gets added as a result of the echo command in the previous line. This code is adapted from a line in XkbVariantConfig. In theory, I could have eliminated the need for this line by using echo -n instead of echo, but the original author left a warning in the code:
| Quote: | | #the last sed is since we need to cut off the last , (echo -n doesn't work well) |
So I decided to heed that warning.
Anyway, no extra comma is added at the start of the list, so there is no need for the s/^,// here.
| Karl Godt wrote: | | Quote: | EXPECTED RESULTS:
"intl" variant should have been removed from "XkbVariant" line. |
Don't know if it should have been removed |
The steps listed for reproducing bug #3, using the original XkbLayoutConfig results in these lines being placed in xorg.conf:
| Code: | Option "XkbLayout" "be" #xkeymap0
Option "XkbVariant" "intl," |
The intl variant was assigned to the us layout, but the us layout has been removed, so its variant should be removed as well. When XkbApplyNow passes those two lists to setxkbmap, that utility will be unhappy with the trailing comma because this makes the variant list have two fields while the layout list has only one field. No variant will be loaded.
Even if setxkbmap wasn't unhappy with that comma, it would be unhappy with trying to assign a variant named "intl" to the layout named "be", because there is no "intl" variant for the "be" layout.
| Karl Godt wrote: | but to toggle
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,grp:rwin_toggle"
the keyboard layout
Option "XkbLayout" "de,us" #xkeymap0

Oh, that's interesting.
I haven't been able to test with grp:rwin_toggle, since I don't have a right Windows key on my laptop, but when I test with grp:lwin_toggle I do have trouble.
For me it loads the German layout OK, and pressing the left Windows key does, in fact, switch to the US layout. But it will not switch back again if I press the key again. Is that the same symptom that you had?
Anyway, the symptom I see doesn't seem to be related to the variants. It acts the same if I don't load any variants at all.
The funny thing is that it is happy if I reverse the order of the layouts and variants, like so:
| Code: | Option "XkbLayout" "us,de" #xkeymap0
Option "XkbVariant" "alt-intl,deadgraveacute"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,grp:lwin_toggle" |
Also, setting the left Ctrl+Shift keys for toggling the group works with the original order:
| Code: | Option "XkbLayout" "de,us" #xkeymap0
Option "XkbVariant" "deadgraveacute,alt-intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" |
And using the left Windows key as a temporary switch, not a toggle, also responds properly:
| Code: | Option "XkbLayout" "de,us" #xkeymap0
Option "XkbVariant" "deadgraveacute,alt-intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,grp:lwin_switch" |
(Rember to switch your keyboard group back to the first layout before removing a group toggle. If you don't you will be stuck in another layout until you add a new group toggle.)
Things are a bit flaky. When I first tried grp:lwin_switch, it worked fine. When I tried later it didn't work until I tried grp:win_switch. Then grp:lwin_switch worked again. And grp:lwin_toggle no longer lets me toggle even once, as it did when I first tried it.
Anyway, you have clearly found a bug (assuming I am seeing the same symptom as you). Since I am able to reproduce it by using setxkbmap without involving the XKB Configuration Manager, it would seem that the bug is not in the XKB Configuration Manager, but further downstream (possibly in xkbcomp, the keyboard definition files, or the X server itself).
Thanks again for taking the time for looking at this.
P.S. Karl, I just saw a new reply from you come in. Thanks for testing. Glad the diffs worked for you. I'll read your new message over and get back to you later.

npierce,
that's true !
setxkbmap worked setting it for geany once but not typing into sakura terminal emulator .
Then i changed a lot and next time it worked perfectly .
Most of the times it worked ok as i can remember .
As a side note : Maybe xkbconfigmanager coded with arrays
instead of many ^ echo "$LIST" | grep "$WHATEVER" ^
would work also .

That's my XkbVariantConfig of today :
Detected there was a fault in my previous diff in case several country layouts with same layoutvariant name like 'nodeadkeys' .
I added two more tags to the TMPLIST=/tmp/XkbVariantList
+ echo "\"${SINDEX}: $ALAY ${INDEX}: $TAG\" \""$INFO"\""
which would stand for SuperINDEX and ALAYOUT .

Thanks for the all the feedback and fixes guys. I am busy with Momanager and other internationalization issues in Woof right now, want to keep the momentum going on that. I will get back to this forum thread, and others, in a couple of days probably.

jemimah , interesting feature
BUT
WHY only for lib files ?
tar has got the
--backup[=CONTROL]
--suffix=STRING [ DLPKGNAME]
options , would be interesting to add it to petget
in that case ppm while uninstalling would be able to restore things .

With lib files you just get an extra warning. This message comes up if any files get clobbered.
The backup idea is good, but we'd need to figure out a storage location and fix any remastering scripts to not copy in the backups.

Guvcview from package manager cannot work, because of missing dependencies. This has been handled in the forum and I followed the there given direct links to get both guvcview_wary-1.5.0.pet and guvcview_wary_DEP-1.5.0.pet, together working fine now.
===
Puzzle: instead of the dead Libreoffice_sfs offered in "install/package manager" I found an old openoffice-3.2.0.9450.pet made by Coolpup which works fine .... in my harddisk installation. I am now installing another racy 5.2.2 to USB stick for an old (yes, older than me .... he's 80) internet friend; everything working fine except the very openoffice, no matter the number of re-installs, purgings or reboots.
===
Very old bug in all Pidgins: browser default setting "desktop default" does not open a browser for me, I have to scroll and select the exact browser.

More recent bug in all Pidgins: MSN (saved) password must be repeated to start a tedious dialogue finally opening hotmail inbox. Obviously this is due to MSN's doing.
Hotmail inbox opens without question when using browser only, after once the password has been saved in browser.
===
Like in all distros I had on board, keyboard setting (var) USA-alt-int often gets lost, must be re-selected. Sometimes even the source window gets lost, being replaced by a lot of text ..... then have to use CD startup, F2, purge; nauseating. This seems to be a common Linux bug, I experienced the same in more than 10 distros, not puppy only. I happen to need this setting, with the many quick diacritics/accents for some languages, without the need to use extra keys.

Quoting myself: | Quote: | .... Puzzle: instead of the dead Libreoffice_sfs offered in "install/package manager" I found an old openoffice-3.2.0.9450.pet made by Coolpup which works fine .... in my harddisk installation. I am now installing another racy 5.2.2 to USB stick for an old (yes, older than me .... he's 80) internet friend; everything working fine except the very openoffice, no matter the number of re-installs, purgings or reboots.
.... |
It seems I solved it and this may at least to me be quite instructive: 2 more apps got into danger and suddenly it struck me, that the icon of the USB-stick at single-click mounting .... and were I had placed a folder "extra software" .... called itself intermittently
/initrd/mnt/dev-save or
/mnt/home.
Of course this cannot be real but I lack technical insight.
Formatted an extra partition for that software-folder and totally re-installed clean racy 522 in boot partition. For the moment, seems stable and also old openoffice-3.2.0.9450.pet (made by Coolpup) working.

The backup idea is good, but we'd need to figure out a storage location and fix any remastering scripts to not copy in the backups. |

The remasterpup2 line is something like this :
| Code: | | mksquashfs / $WKGMNTPT/puppylivecdbuild/${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-${DISTRO_VERSION}.sfs -e /etc /proc /initrd /var /tmp /archive /mnt /root /puppylivecdbuild $DIRHOME $DIRSYS $DIRLOST /${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-${DISTRO_VERSION}.sfs ${INITRDMODS} |
and accordingly to mksqashfs4 --help
-ef <exclude_file> list of exclude dirs/files. One per line
-wildcards Allow extended shell wildcards (globbing) to be used in exclude dirs/files
it could look like
| Code: | | mksquashfs / $WKGMNTPT/puppylivecdbuild/${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-${DISTRO_VERSION}.sfs -wildcards -e "*.*~" "*.wh.*" -e /etc /proc /initrd /var /tmp /archive /mnt /root /puppylivecdbuild $DIRHOME $DIRSYS $DIRLOST |
The remaster part i haven't tested yet , added exclution of aufs whiteout files if it hasn't already been done in newer remaster scripts . Racy uses unionfs but some derivates might still come with aufs .
The storage problem could be already be cared by the dialog to ask to keep or to remove in the above petget diff , but a backup layer /initrd/pup_back might be a good solution too with a second mounted save file underneath the /initrd/pup_ro1(pupmode13)||/initrd/pup_rw(pupmode12)
