Hi,
Building qtwebengine as a module on my system and using it as part of building an application (Jami), I can then observe the following at run time:
Using Qt runtime version: 6.3.1 "notify server name: dunst, vendor: knopwob, version: 1.8.1 (2022-03-02), spec: 1.2" qt.webenginecontext: GL Type: desktop Surface Type: OpenGL Surface Profile: CompatibilityProfile Surface Version: 3.3 QSG RHI Backend: OpenGL Using Supported QSG Backend: yes Using Software Dynamic GL: no Using Multithreaded OpenGL: no Init Parameters: * application-name Jami * browser-subprocess-path /gnu/store/kbq6fcg7sibmbllclhwq012jcqvggxcb-qtwebengine-6.3.1/lib/qt6/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess * create-default-gl-context * disable-features ConsolidatedMovementXY,InstalledApp,BackgroundFetch,WebOTP,WebPayments,WebUSB,PictureInPicture * disable-setuid-sandbox * disable-speech-api * disable-web-security * enable-features NetworkServiceInProcess,TracingServiceInProcess * enable-threaded-compositing * in-process-gpu * single-process * use-gl desktop xkbcommon: ERROR: Couldn't find file "rules/evdev" in include paths xkbcommon: ERROR: There are no include paths to search xkbcommon: ERROR: 1 include paths could not be added: xkbcommon: ERROR: /usr/share/X11/xkb xkbcommon: ERROR: Couldn't look up rules 'evdev', model 'pc101', layout 'us', variant 'dvorak', options '' [32380:32398:0721/085929.529041:FATAL:xkb_keyboard_layout_engine.cc(641)] Keymap file failed to load: us-dvorak Trace/breakpoint trap
The error seems to be reported by this code, in src/3rdparty/chromium/ui/events/ozone/layout/xkb/xkb_keyboard_layout_engine.cc
#if BUILDFLAG(IS_CHROMEOS_ASH) || defined(TOOLKIT_QT) void LoadKeymap(const std::string& layout_name, scoped_refptr<base::SingleThreadTaskRunner> reply_runner, LoadKeymapCallback reply_callback) { std::string layout_id; std::string layout_variant; XkbKeyboardLayoutEngine::ParseLayoutName(layout_name, &layout_id, &layout_variant); xkb_rule_names names = {.rules = NULL, .model = "pc101", .layout = layout_id.c_str(), .variant = layout_variant.c_str(), .options = ""}; std::unique_ptr<xkb_context, XkbContextDeleter> context; context.reset(xkb_context_new(XKB_CONTEXT_NO_DEFAULT_INCLUDES)); xkb_context_include_path_append(context.get(), "/usr/share/X11/xkb"); std::unique_ptr<xkb_keymap, XkbKeymapDeleter> keymap; keymap.reset(xkb_keymap_new_from_names(context.get(), &names, XKB_KEYMAP_COMPILE_NO_FLAGS)); if (keymap) { std::unique_ptr<char, base::FreeDeleter> keymap_str( xkb_keymap_get_as_string(keymap.get(), XKB_KEYMAP_FORMAT_TEXT_V1)); reply_runner->PostTask( FROM_HERE, base::BindOnce(std::move(reply_callback), layout_name, std::move(keymap_str))); } else { LOG(FATAL) << "Keymap file failed to load: " << layout_name; } } #endif
On my system (Guix System), `/usr/share/X11/xkb` is empty.
This shouldn't be fatal, I believe; and ideally, it should be possible to configure where to look for X11 keyboard layouts too, perhaps via an environment variable.
Thanks!
