[Bug 1242567] Re: Indication does not change when using XKB shortcut to change layout
After the latest updates in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, this works as expected. I can set Alt+Shift_L to change the keyboard layout and also the indications works. @fkol-k4 can you confirm this ? ** Changed in: indicator-keyboard (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242567 Title: Indication does not change when using XKB shortcut to change layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1242567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What do you call 'XKB shortcut?

[Bug 1242567] Re: Indication does not change when using XKB shortcut to change layout
@Sebastien: Up until 13.04 version, layout switching was handled by XKB ( http://www.x.org/wiki/XKB/ ) and was set to alt+shift as a default shortcut. Setting this through any DE's graphical keyboard configurator was the equivalent of the following command: setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,el For 13.10 and 14.04, layout switching is primarily handled by i-bus, so Ubuntu's graphical keyboard configurator is not about changing some XKB setting via setxkbmap command, but is about changing an i-bus setting. The point is that though there may not be a graphical keyboard configurator for XKB anymore, the setxkbmap command still works because it is a part of xorg and xorg is still installed. So, a common workaround for users is to use a setxkbmap command setting for layout switching. This way, the user avoids the effects of the #1218322 and #1226962 bugs. The #1218322 bug is now fixed. For the #1226962 bug things are also mainly ok, but there is still a problem with LibreOffice, so there still is a point using a setxkbmap command to set layout switching via XKB. What is happening is that when changing layouts via the shortcut set by a setxkbmap command, the indicator does not see that a change has been made.

Hello @Sebastien I noticed that the bug status has now been changed from confirmed to incomplete. Why is that? Is there any kind of missing additional information that we can provide to help?

[Bug 1242567] Re: Indication does not change when using XKB shortcut to change layout
Thanks for reply @Sebastien. I am running now the 0.0.0+13.10.20131010.1-0ubuntu1 version from saucy-proposed (i couldn't find it in trusty-proposed though, so i couldn't test it to 14.04 as well). The indication still does not change when i use the XKB shortcut to change layout. Neither does the selected item in the indicator menu. THe symptoms are exactly as in the original description. It gives the impression that the indicator reads only the i-bus status. I noticed that if i set the same shortcut for both the XKB and the i-bus (eg. alt+shift), then all changes are shown normally, but then i 'm affecterd by the bug #1226962 when using LibreOffice, so it seems that xhen i do that, the system gives priority to i-bus for the layout changes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242567 Title: Indication does not change when using XKB shortcut to change layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1242567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry for the mistake in the comment above, i wanted to write that now i'm using the 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 version of the gnome-settings-daemon (saucy-proposed), instead i gave you the indicator-keyboard version.

[Bug 1242567] Re: Indication does not change when using XKB shortcut to change layout
Yesterday I installed the Trusty Tahr (daily build) and I can say that this bug affects this version as well. An interesting thing is that I cannot change the indication neither from XKB or i-bus, nor from icon (mouse click).

Thank you for your bug report, is the selected item in the indicator menu changing?
