This also affects me on Ubuntu 16.04 fresh install I've set this in /etc/default/keyboard: XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="altgr-intl" XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess" And the keyboard layout is most definitively not us/altgr-intl I had this problem also on another laptop with Trusty Tahr 14.04 a few years ago and it caused me to move to Debian. Now i tried Ubuntu again, and the problem is still here (but not on debian). -- 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: [SRU]Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ibus source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] When first boot into Unity desktop, English keyboard layout is active while all other parts of the system language settings are set to another language (e.g. German). The bug is properly addressed in newer upstream releases in Vivid, but the changes is too intrusive and not suitable for being back ported in SRU. And changing the default to use system keyboard layout solves the problem. [Test Case] 1. Set the system language to something other than English, e.g. German. 2. Create a new user, log in to the Unity desktop of the new user. 3. Check the keyboard layout, it should be German instead of English. [Regression Potential] Since this changes the default value of the keyboard layout settings by using system defined as default, it avoids using ibus's built-in keyboard layout related functionality, so that this could be a regression for users rely on this certain behavior (e.g. use English keyboard while want to keep the system language settings to German), but such behavior is not expected for normal usage.
