Error: Can't find file "us.map.gz" for symbols include
This sounds more like the keyboard layout for the Linux console ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I solved it on my machine with: gnome-keyboard-properties
There was us.map.gz in the list, as opposed to any other moment when I checked. Normally the keyboard type is more verbose (like USA, or USA with Euro)
I added USA and then removed us.map.gz and the problem disappeared.
Remains the question what put the wrong setting there.
Yep, but it's going to be hard to know how it ended up there :/ My current theory is that gdm put this as default layout because of a bug, and it ended up in your config because of this. That would be a bug in gdm-sysconfig-settings.patch which looks at KEYTABLE in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, which is not a X layout. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
