I'm using the Colemak as downloaded from the colemak.com website as opposed to the distro-provided Colemak because I want to tweak a few key locations.
Right now I'm just trying to get the untweaked Colemak layout to work. I put the colemak-1.0/xorg/colemak file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/colemak and I try to enable it, but I get errors:
✈ganymede:~$ sudo cp ~/Downloads/colemak-1.0/xorg/colemak /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/colemak
✈ganymede:~$ setxkbmap -v colemak && xset r 66
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete+ledcaps(group_lock)
symbols: pc+colemak+inet(evdev)+capslock(grouplock)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)
geometry: pc(pc101)
Error loading new keyboard descriptionI see from the Colemak installation page that the error given is expected:
https://colemak.com/Unix#Linux.2FUnix_i … r_later.29
So, what must I check to find the problem? This is on Kubuntu 10.10, with the PAE 2.6.35 kernel. Thanks.
