I'm not the only one with this probmem.

Switching to workman layout.

I tried on ubuntu 12 and 14 on two different computers with the same error.

Following instructions in this question but get error message Error loading new keyboard description. Can't figure it out. I copy and paste from tutorials so it is not my spelling. (I am running in virtualbox on windows). I do this. First download workman.iso15.kmap.

sudo cp workman.iso15.kmap /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/workman



setxkbmap -v workman && xset r 66 

This is my error message.

edler@Prog88:~$ setxkbmap -v workman -v

Error loading new keyboard description

Also. This worked one year ago in the 12.04 linux. There is definately the right keyboard description. But now it does not load (it did one year ago). Strange.
