Ubuntu

xmodmap error

Asked by baechu

After upgrading Ubunt from 8.04 to 8.10, everything seems to work well.
But some problem happens and I can't figure out the reason.
I fail to start gnome session. When I start Ubuntu, error massage appears.
 It says, "/usr/bin/xmodmap: unable to open file '/usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap' for reading
/usr/bin/xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting."
I have to change to safemode to start Ubuntu.
After login, I look over the /usr/share/apps folder. But I can find neither "kxkb" folder nor "ubunt.xmodmap ".
Would you help me solve the problem?
Thank you.

You can use the Failsafe GNOME mode to login and fix this problem. You change session at the login screen, then login as usual.

Personally I ran into this myself just the other day, and I'm trying to find a solution. Logging in using failsafe gnome meanwhile..

Can you help with this problem?
