$ grep ^X /etc/default/console-setup XKBMODEL=pc105 XKBLAYOUT=gb XKBVARIANT= XKBOPTIONS= This does not ever seem to change, even when the bug occurs and US keyboard layout is used. Basically, the bug seems to persist from installation until the default user logs in explicitly (not using gdm auto-login) or sets the keyboard layout explicitly. If I destroy and manually recreate the default user by copying /etc/default/skel and deleting /var/cache/gdm/user, the problem does not seem to recur. Maybe it is the way the default user account is configured during installation which is causing the problem. -- Installed user's keyboard doesn't match that chosen during installation of Karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Vlad, your problem is discussed in bug 460328. Dave, thanks for the results. It shows that gdm defaults to the wrong layout. Can you please submit the output of grep ^X /etc/default/console-setup for your session, too? -- Installed user's keyboard doesn't match that chosen during installation of Karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This is using auto-login. I didn't select anything explicitly, so I was expecting the system default to be used. Maybe there is something wrong with the initial user's preferences are initialised during installation? I currently have a reinstall under way; I'll try to answer the other points when that's done. -- Installed user's keyboard doesn't match that chosen during installation of Karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

When logging in explicitly though GDM on the first boot after installation, the keyboard layout option at the login screen defaults correctly to UK, and I get UK keyboard layout after login. If I then restart gdm so that auto-login happens again, I get UK layout in the desktop session again, so it looks like once the setting is established, it persists. If I remove /var/cache/gdm/yourusername/dmrc and ~/.dmrc, then auto- login again, the layout is US once more. No ~.dmrc appears to be created. -- Installed user's keyboard doesn't match that chosen during installation of Karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've got the similar problem with Russian locale. I can't change keyboard layout from us to ru. GDM set it to us only $ grep ^X /etc/default/console-setup XKBMODEL=pc105 XKBLAYOUT=us,ru XKBVARIANT=, XKBOPTIONS=grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll $ echo $GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT us Everything works fine then using xdm, kdm or just startx. Removing .dmrc doesn't help.

$ echo $GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT us That would be the problem then. Did you select US layout in the login manager? If you choose British layout in the keyboard selector, do things work then? Can you please remove /var/cache/gdm/yourusername/dmrc and ~/.dmrc and check that gdm defaults to British layout? ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) = gdm (Ubuntu) -- Installed user's keyboard doesn't match that chosen during installation of Karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
