I have just faced this and kbd_mode -s also fixed the issue for me. The behavior started out of nothing (something I did without perceiving most likely). I'm using: [rafaeldtinoco@fujitsu ~]$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 20.10 Release:20.10 Codename: groovy apt-history shows last apt command was yesterday (for my host) and it was working fine yesterday. Unfortunately I have no time to dig into this now, but wanted to state that this still happens in 20.10 (and possibly 20.04 according to @ribalkin report). ** Also affects: kbd (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: console-setup (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: kbd (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: console-setup (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
