Description Christophe Fergeau 2008-03-07 15:16:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I installed a clean ubuntu gutsy, and wanted to add a new keyboard layout in addition to the default French/alternate one. So I opened the keyboard capplet, when to the Layout tab, clicked the Add button, and the window that opened was totally empty, which looked weird, especially in the place where the keyboard layout is supposed to be drawn

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Maybe related in some way to bug 452788?
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2008-03-07 18:54:53 UTC 
Replying to myself: Guess not. It's actually normal, except for the missing layout image.
Comment 4 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2008-03-10 21:48:24 UTC 
Very odd. I cannot reproduce it on my system.

Could you please try building libgnomekbd manually - there is a "test" directory, and you'll be able to run gkbd-keyboard-drawing-test. Would it show the layout properly to you?
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2008-03-11 10:04:33 UTC 
Yep, it correctly show an empty layout (I tested libgnomekbd svn rev 261)
Comment 6 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2008-03-11 21:47:08 UTC 
What about gkbd-keyboard-drawing-test --groups=1 --levels=1?

Also, would you try running gnome-keyboard-properties with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to libgnomekbd/.libs directory - so it would pick your locally built libgnomekbd.so?
Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2008-03-12 13:09:26 UTC 
gkbd-keyboard-drawing-test --groups=1 --levels=1 is fine
I'll have to create a new user to check if it happens there and to test your LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack. I can no longer reproduce with my user since I added a dvorak layout since I filed this bug.
Comment 8 Christoph Wurm 2009-01-19 11:53:09 UTC 
Since the reporter is no longer able to reproduce the bug and there and others do not seem to have the problem, I'm closing this bug report as INVALID.
