I am trying to set up Xpra on my headless Ubuntu server but have been having problems. I managed to find a suggestion that I should run this command to first establish whether Xorg is working: Xorg -logfile /tmp/Xlog%s -config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf I am using Ubuntu 18.10 and X Server 1.20.1 (the latest version in Ubuntu's repositories) I did so but I just get a "XKB: Failed to compile keymap" message followed by a Keyboard initialization failure error and advice to check the log file at "/tmp/Xlog0" for additional information. The problem seems to start at the last 10 or so lines of the log file starting with a "XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp" error. The only advice I've managed to find about this error is to install xkbcomp (x11-xkb-utils was automatically installed with xorg) and xkeyboard-config (xkb-data was also automatically installed). I would greatly appreciate any help I get with this issue. Thanks! Here are the last 20 or so lines of "/tmp/Xlog0" (you can find the full log here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pastebin.com/RNabsEu8">https://pastebin.com/RNabsEu8</a> ): <blockquote>[ 17041.103] (II) Initializing extension XFree86-VidModeExtension [ 17041.103] (II) Initializing extension XFree86-DGA [ 17041.103] (II) Initializing extension XFree86-DRI [ 17041.103] (II) Initializing extension DRI2 [ 17041.467] (EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp [ 17041.472] (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap [ 17041.472] (EE) XKB: Failed to load keymap.
