It works, but when I type in the forwarded applications, it is using the qwerty layout and I would like it to use colemak. I would like a command-line solution since I don't have the GUI installed in the vm. I have tried setxkbmap -v us -variant colemak, but I get "Error loading new keyboard description": $ setxkbmap -v us -variant colemak Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout Using command line, ignoring X server Warning! Multiple definitions of layout variant Using command line, ignoring X server Trying to build keymap using the following components: keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty) types: complete compat: complete symbols: pc+us(colemak) geometry: pc(pc101) Error loading new keyboard description I also tried setxkbmap -v us -variant dvorak, which did seem to work. What is wrong? Colemak comes with ubuntu, and I can see a section for it in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, which is where the layout is defined, I assume. 12.04 keyboard-layout x11-forwarding share|improve this question edited Sep 26 '12 at 18:32 asked Sep 24 '12 at 22:26 Gabe Moothart 114110 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted My mistake was assuming that the keyboard layouts that were important were the ones in the vm (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/). Actually, when using x-forwarding it is the keyboard layouts defined in my x server, xming (C:\Program Files (x86)\Xming\xkb\symbols) that are important, and colemak is not included with xming by default. I was able to just download the colemak definition and drop it in the xming

It has been quite unstable, yet usable, until I disconnected from the session. I could not enter my password to enter a new session, so I put the english layout, my password worked and: 1. All my system had turned to english! 2. there seems to be no way to use FR and RU again, the layout it is stuck on english (US). Note that the keyboard layout manager still shows french and russian with a Alt+Shift toggle... My /etc/default/keyboard looks well set: HTML Code: XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="fr, ru" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" when I try: HTML Code: setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle "fr,ru" or: HTML Code: setxkbmap -layout "fr,ru" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" I get this: HTML Code: Error loading new keyboard description In /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols, the fr and ru files are here, although I have made a few modifications to the fr keyboard. Thank you in advance. Last edited by Kifferand; May 24th, 2014 at 11:46 PM.
