xfce4-xkb-plugin fails to find xkbcomp (via libxklavier) #3173

Closed geraldus closed 10 years ago

geraldus commented 10 years ago

I have XFCE installed and ru_RU.UTF-8 locale. Cyrillic characters are rendered well everywhere except of Terminal application. There is error from X log:

$ cat ~/.xsession-errors

I tried to install xlibs.xkbcomp package, but this did not helped.

I'm investigating it; looks like a problem in path settings of our libxklavier.

geraldus commented 10 years ago

How can I check it and maybe help to do something with this?

I can think of no way where explaining the thing is significantly simpler than doing it ;-)

vcunat commented 10 years ago

I have a fix for that problem now. @geraldus: would you also test it, including the maintenance update of that panel plugin? https://github.com/vcunat/nixpkgs/compare/p/xfce-xkb

vcunat commented 10 years ago

I renamed the issue to better reflect the real problem.

aflatter commented 10 years ago

Works for me! Thanks!

geraldus commented 10 years ago

So, sorry for stupid question, I should update xkb-plugin, right?

vcunat commented 10 years ago

Yes, the plugin is what needs replacing (it will pickup the libxklavier change).

geraldus commented 10 years ago

Hmmm. I've done following (I have pkgs.xfce.xfce4_xkb_plugin listed as sys package in configuration.nix):

nix-chanell update
nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

But still having ? instead of correct glyphs.

aflatter commented 10 years ago

I used something like:

git clone https://github.com/vcunat/nixpkgs /tmp/ cd /tmp/nixpkgs git checkout p/xfce-xkb nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=.

vcunat commented 10 years ago

@geraldus: I'm quite confident this solves the issue, so I'll push it without you needing to test it first.

vcunat commented 10 years ago

The channels might take even a few days to pick up the change.

geraldus commented 10 years ago

Sorry, friends, for delayed answer! I have NixOS installed on virtual machine and host OS is broken for now. I assume I will be able test new version this evening. Thanks anyway!

vcunat commented 10 years ago

@geraldus: probably avoid 3.14 kernel, as it seems to cause X problems in VM. We unfortunately have it as the default since recently.
