[Bug 305309] Re: Keyboard layout options get lost
Unfortunately, I don't have that monitor available any longer, but I tried removing and reinserting the USB dongle, and also suspending and resuming the laptop. In either case, the Caps Lock continued acting as a Compose key, so it is possible that this bug has been fixed. -- Keyboard layout options get lost https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Control Center is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back?

[Bug 305309] Re: Keyboard layout options get lost
There is another case where this behaviour can be reliably reproduced: undocking and redocking a laptop. I do this frequently at work, and my setting (using Caps Lock as another control key) always has to be reset after this occurs. It's effectively the same operation that Brendan Kehoe (Hi Brendan!) and Cay have reported, as I have a Microsoft Natural keyboard permanently plugged into the docking station.

[Bug 305309] Re: Keyboard layout options get lost
I've had the same problems. I looked in my Xorg.0.log file for how it was describing my repeated disconnect/reconnect of my usb keyboard, and saw mention of 'evdev' every time. Over on http://www.nabble.com/Bug-447666:-don%27t-have-the-right-xkb_layout-anymore...just-us-keyboard-td13367563.html they describe how removing the xserver-xorg-input-evdev package (which installs /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so) fixed it for them.

And a further update of October 2007: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447666 saying it's dealt with in the hal package. However, my system is using hal version 0.5.11-4ubuntu4 and is still suffering from it, even tho that bug reporte says 0.5.10 had the workaround in it. Perhaps 0.5.11 did a further change? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #447666 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447666 -- Keyboard layout options get lost https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

the new comment is a known issue, tracked is other bugs and due to the fact that xorg detects the keyboard a new device, the bug described there suggests that the issue happens when the device is not changed though -- Keyboard layout options get lost https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 305309] Re: Keyboard layout options get lost
I can reproduce this bug (or a similar one) always. This happens if I unplug and then plug in my USB keyboard. It can be the exact same keyboard and the same USB socket. See below for steps to reproduce the problem. 1. Open Keyboard Preferences: System | Preferences | Keyboard 2. Select Layouts tab and click button for Other Options Then set Ctrl key position to Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl.. 3. Test that the CapsLock key now works as a Ctrl key. 4. Close all the Keyboard Preferences dialog windows. This is important. If they are left open then mask the problem. 5. Unplug the USB keyboard. Count to 10... plug the USB keyboard back in. 6. Test that the CapsLock key has reverted to its old behavior. Curse a God that allows a universe with a CapsLock key. If you don't believe in God then curse IBM for putting the CapsLock where it is today. 7. Also note that if you open the Keyboard Preferences and go back to Ctrl key position that the user interface will still show the setting as Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl., so you might consider this a secondary bug since not only has the keyboard lost its settings, but now the user interface shows a state that does not agree with the actual setting. ** Attachment added: Shows the Keyboard Layout Options dialog.
