This bizarre and irritating bug comes again and again on my system, at random times and sometimes when I update. US keyboard settings apply even after deleting the US keyboard and checking that the keyboard layout chart was correct for my UK keyboard. On the last occasion it was possible to fix by removing some files using
rm -rf .cache/ibus .config/ibus .config/dconf There are clearly multiple places from which the keyboard settings are derived. There should be a way of synchronising this settings from the keyboard configuration tool, and making this persistent across updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240198 Title: Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in indicator-keyboard package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I upgraded from raring to saucy. After booting into the desktop (unity), the english keyboard layout is active, although everything on the system is set to be german (keyboard layout, language...) Switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) fixes the problem and changes the layout to the german layout. all the time, the new input settings indicator says the german layout is active. locale says: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_DE LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= /etc/default/keyboard says: # Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for # documentation on what to do after having modified this file. # The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same # values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options # in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
