I am obviously a total newb to all of this and rather than just reinstalling the newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my MacBook Pro 13" (5,5), I want to use this opportunity to learn exactly what I'm doing here.
I recently was trying to go about changing the control key function to the command key so that I could be more comfortable as an Apple user. When I thought I had finished the needed changes there was this error dialog box that said:
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
10900000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
• The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
• The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
Now my keyboard doesn't work unless I change the keyboard model after having logged using the on screen keyboard. I have noticed that if I try to input any information in the log in menu with the physical keyboard, all the keys turn straight into question marks. I'm a little frustrated here because a lot of the help that I find is still above my head when it comes to troubleshooting some issues with Ubuntu. I know I'm a total newb but don't want to stay that way.
