[Kai-Heng Feng]

Please try latest mainline kernel (v4.13-rc3)

I think this commit solves the issue:

I can confirm this bug still exists in Zesty 17.04 on my MBA 6,2

This workaround still works:
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout

I can confirm this bug still exists and the workaround still works for
Xenial 16.04 on my MBA 6,2

(Posted so the entry won't expire.)

Will the bug ever be fixed?

Workaround does not work on Xenial 16.04 in a Fusion 8.1.1 box:

 Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
   Confirmed

 Bug description:
   1. install ubuntu on Macbook Air 6,2
   2. press the key with the tilde ('~') written on it.
   3. see that is prints '§' instead.

   This is particularly annoying since the way to switch between windows
 uses the tilde.

[Yuan Chao]

According to this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025041

According to an upstream bug report, the ANSI/ISO detection of the
keyboard is incorrect.

there's a walk-around:

   echo 0  /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout

I can confirm that this fixes the problem on macbook air 6,2 (2013) with
ubuntu 13.10.

I'm confirming that this bug exists as described.
