[Solved] sddm does not receive the keyboard

Postby paiiou » May 25th, '15, 10:51

Hello,

I am currently testing LXQt, but without any GTK call.
I have modified some packages (libfm-extra, menu-cache, libfm, lxqt-common and task-lxqt) and I use fluxbox instead of openbox.

LXQt and works very well and there are much pure Qt applications. I will continue to choose the ones that I need.

I encounter a problem with sddm : entering the password, sddm-greeter does not take input.
journalctl said to me:
sddm-greeter: Qt: Failed to create XKB context!
sddm-greeter: Use QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environment variable to provide ...

I have tried, as root : export QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT=/usr/share/X11/xkb (Found on the internet), but without success.

Any idee ?

EDIT : xdm works fine

Please check the related report https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15357 if you can find some pointers.

Thank you for the link, it is very interesting.
I could see that adding setxkbmap fr sddm-greeter directly displays "fr".
But that has not solved my problem.

However this helped me look further. I see a message "xkbcommon ERROR" when I connect with xdm. The problem therefore is not sddm.
So I thought my own package qt. And I found: forgetting a BuildRequires, pkgconfig(xkbcommon).

And I would add: thank you for all your work on LXQt

Out of curiosity, may I ask why you also rolled your own Qt packages? Just for new versions, or some added patches?

Apart from that, I'd be interested in the SPEC for your libfm packages, as that's still on my TODO list to split it properly so that pcmanfm-qt only requires libfm-qt and not also the common GTK libfm ...

It is always to eliminate gtk

Ok, but what exactly did you change for the Qt packages to achieve that?

I have just put the specfile http://paiiou.free.fr/perso/qtbase5.spec

EDIT : I also simplified the specfile besides the elimination of gtk.
