No keyboard responding for Spyder when started through VNC

I installed the python env by using Anaconda 4.2.0 (64-bit). But cannot use spyder. There is no keyboard responding for spyder.

Any ideas for this problem?

• Spyder Version: 3.0.1
• Python Version: 2.7.12
• Operating system: ubuntu 16.04

Hi, @ccordoba12

The error is

QXcbConnection: Failed to initialize XRandr
Qt: XKEYBOARD extension not present on the X server.
Qt: Could not determine keyboard configuration data from X server, will use hard-coded keymap configuration.
Qt: Failed to compile a keymap!
Current XKB configuration data search paths are: 
/home/lab/anaconda2/lib
Use QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environmental variable to provide an additional search path, add ':' as separator to provide several search paths and/or make sure that XKB configuration data directory contains recent enough contents, to update please see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/ .

I export QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT=/usr/share/X11/xkb to solve this problem. It works.

hi, I have the same problem. I installed the python env by using Anaconda 4.3.0 (64-bit). There is no keyboard responding for spyder.

this is the error that i get:

Qt: XKEYBOARD extension not present on the X server.
Qt: Could not determine keyboard configuration data from X server, will use hard-coded keymap configuration.

I made this export: export QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT=/usr/share/X11/xkb but than got another problem - i don’t get the letter that i want to type. getting the same error …

Qt: XKEYBOARD extension not present on the X server.
