I have the same problem with a norwegian keyboard, Logitech K360(wireless, USB).
When on install medium/live: The same bug exists - top layout in "gnome-control-center region" is chosen, but not effective. Though, it does work when changing the layout from top menu(two layouts must be added for this menu to show). First change to eng, then back to no, and the layout is correct. This is not possible when 12.04 is installed. I should also note that keyboard layout works in terminal tty1-6, and when plugging in another USB keyboard(also norwegian layout). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995401 Title: Ubuntu 12.04: keyboard layout does not change languages Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Probably this problem is reported but the ubuntu-bug system cannot trace it. I have upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10 which was a clean install. My keyboard language-settings (in the login screen as well) were norwegian and greek. However when I installed the 12.04 version my keyboard-layout was changed to english but the keyboard layout manager was showing norwegian. On the keyboard-layout settings I put the english(US) layout and I removed greek and norwegian. Typed a bit and then put norwegian and greek and I removed the english (US) again and chose the Alt-Shift combination for changing layouts. What I get is an unchangable english(US) layout. Important note: My keyboard is US-keyboard. I mean the hardware. P.S. The ubuntu-bug system has a serious bug. When I was looking about the bug on Google I could find the launchpad relevant subject. I wanted to use the ubuntu-bug system in order to report my system's details. Then I could not find the subject again through the launchpad search engine and I was forced to report it as a new problem ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun May 6 11:20:53 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111011) SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-05-05 (0 days ago) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu5 indicator-datetime 0.3.94-0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/995401/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
