Re: [sinhala-technical] Sri Lanka - Tamil Unicode on Fedora 14

Dear Danishka

I tested xkb keymap Sri Lanka -Tamil Unicode (which is also India
-Tamil Unicode  or Tamil (Unicode) lately) in Fedora 14 and 15
installations  that were updated up to yesterday on Open Office /
Libre Office writer, gedit and firefox.

However, in my Hanthana 14.5 desktop a bug happens when I try to add
any layout additional  to the default. A screen capture of the bug
message is attached. The shown message appeared for each addition of
Sri Lanka Tamil Unicode and Sri Lanka (which is Sinhala) and happens
for any other addition. Although the two key maps appear in the list
of layouts that have been added,  on pressing the xkb keyboard tray
icon showing USA, nothing happens and it doesn't bring out the list
including the other two layouts for selection. So this bug  I see in
my Hanthana is different to what you have found which is non working
of Sri Lanka Tamil Unicode only.

I did run the two commands the results of which the bug message
requests to include in bug report. Here is the trace:

[sethu@sethu ~]$ xprop -root |grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "",
"grp:shift_caps_toggle"

[sethu@sethu ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [us,lk	tam_unicode,in	tam,lk]
 options = [grp	grp:shift_caps_toggle]
 model =
[sethu@sethu ~]$

In a quick look at google resulta I observed this type of bugs had
happened in past too, but haven't studied further to find out what is
gone wrong in my Hanthana 14.5 installation
