Take the tour ×  I´ve been trying to change the default US
keyboard layout. I need to modify some keys, so that I can add a
few special symbols I use daily... I edit the us file in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols and save it.. but when I try to add
the newly modified layout I get the following message:  Error
activating XKB configuration.  There can be various reasons for
that. xprop -root | grep XKB gsettings get
org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model gsettings get
org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts gsettings get
org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options  Any help would be
appreciated... tried this:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
configuration sudo dpkg-reconfigure kbd  but it didn´t work..
