Description of problem: When I try to change my keyboard settings using the /usr/bin/systemsettings or from the keyboard layout applet, the dialog panel comes up, but almost all the controls there are disabled (especially in the "layouts" or "advanced" tabs). If I start /usr/bin/systemsettings from the command line, I see the following message, that gives a clue to the problem: systemsettings(3541): Cannot open the rules file "/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml" Indeed, once I did ln -s /usr/share/ /share I was able to set all my keyboard settings as usual. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start /usr/bin/systemsettings 2. Choose "Input Devices->Keyboard" item 3. Switch to "Layouts" or "Advanced" tab -- all items are grayed out.

6308 is almost certainly the duplicate, but it is not yet resolved.
6394 looks like a duplicate too. I'll let you choose which one you want to leave as the main one and which one to mark as duplicate. Thanks, Vladimir
I was thinking that too, but seems no, maybe was wrong

I found I had this problem, too, when, after some big KDE updates, KDE didn't recognise my Dutch keyboard anymore, even though MCC still said it was Dutch and even though KDM still saw it was Dutch, too. I was able to set it back to Dutch in KDE after using your workaround :) Assigning to maintainer @ Nicolas Do you want me to open a separate BR for the not recognised keyboard?
