Error after plasma update

I warmly welcome,
I have been using Dragon for a short time, after yesterday's update I get errors like this:

lut 18 12:21:13 kwin_x11[3666]: kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: Couldn't process include statement for 'pl(\0)'
lut 18 12:21:13 kwin_x11[3666]: kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: Abandoning symbols file "(unnamed)"
lut 18 12:21:13 kwin_x11[3666]: kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: Failed to compile xkb_symbols
lut 18 12:21:13 kwin_x11[3666]: kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: Failed to compile keymap

What can I do about it? Any tips?

Hey there! :slight_smile:
Is kwin starting up correctly? Or where do you get these logs from? Need some more information please :thinking:

Logs are from journalctl , kwin starts normally, keyboard stutters on the BACK key - deletes only one character ...

Then all are well.

Important messages are from level 3

journalctl -b -p3

If something is misbehaving, explain properly and post text info/logs (not images).

It looks like a configuration problem. How did you configure keyboard layout?
Was it changed recently?
Haven’t you noticed this issue since installation?
When did you install Garuda?

I installed the system about 3 weeks ago.
Early on, I had no problems with the keyboard.
I have an extra keyboard besides my laptop

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*keyboard.conf

# Written by systemd-localed(8), read by systemd-localed and Xorg. It's
# probably wise not to edit this file manually. Use localectl(1) to

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection

Run this command

After rebooting the system I have this :
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "system-keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "pl,us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" ","
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
Keyboard operation unchanged - BACK only moves 1 time

As in the system settings, I will choose the keyboard
'intl' - it's ok, but after rebooting it is back to the default keyboard...

What System settings?
Garuda settings, or KDE/Plasma settings > Keyboard layout?
What are those settings?

KDE/Plasma settings > Keyboard layout
same is how i set Garuda settings

As explained, your configuration was wrong.
Don’t select variant intl.
This seems your issue.
In Plasma Keyboard layout, uncheck Custom layout, save and relogin to check for certain.

I think the problem is here

kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: Failed to compile keymap

This is not a problem, it’s a symptom.
If you follow suggested troubleshooting, we may find the problem. :wink:
Report your findings, not your assumptions, so we can help. Assumptions have no value on their own… :man_shrugging:

Sorry to revive this topic, but I thought others might be interested in the solution. This seems to be a bug with Plasma 5.21 update. I have the same error messages in my journalctl log, although my keyboard seems to be working fine.

Refer to this page for more details and a temporary fix.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263764

It seems you haven’t read the above posts. The issue is fixed.
There was a mistake in keyboard layout settings.
The linked topic does not have any solution in general. The issue is user specific.
