[SOLVED] Can't add new keyboard layout in Gnome
I can't add a new keyboard layout in Gnome because the "Country" and "Variants" drop-down menus are not available (see screenshot).
You can find this dialog in: System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Add.
I can switch layouts using setxkbmap, but i would like this to work from gnome too.
Any ideeas?
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't add new keyboard layout in Gnome
I have the same problem. I think it might have something to do with the fact I have installed localepurge. Are you using localepurge too?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't add new keyboard layout in Gnome
Is xkeyboard-config installed on your system? What version of libxi do you use and what version of xorg-server do you use?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't add new keyboard layout in Gnome
Try installing iso-codes package
I had the same problem and this worked for me
That worked, thanks.
Maybe iso-codes whould be a dependency for gnome keyboard.
