Changing /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/options in gconf-editor
or via the commandline makes AltGr work for, until next boot:
gconftool-2 --type list --list-type string --set
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/options "[bla]"
("bla" is unknown and will be ignored)
This is no solution, but as a workaround, random options could be
written into the gconf key on session start.
Could anyone give me a hint as to how I could find an actual solution? I
can't find any xkeyboard-something binary on my machine...

[Bug 200813] Re: dead keys broken in hardy
@Bogdan: Thank you. Sadly, this did not work for me. Also I noticed that the keyboard layout selected via the (non-scim) keyboard layout panel applet overrides the one set in the scim settings. (Selecting German in scim and US Intl in gnome gave me a US-Intl without AltGr. Actually, AltGr works as normal Alt key. So AltGr+E opens the Edit menu in firefox.) Actually, I don't think this is scim related at all, for the problems remains even with scim purged. -- dead keys broken in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 200813] Re: dead keys broken in hardy
@kbit: I managed to workaround this only by manipulating scim. I first uninstalled everything SCIM but I got the same effect as you did. So next I installed the minimum scim packages (you'll have to convince aptitude to not install the recommends; I only have libscim8c2a, scim, scim-gtk2-immodule and scim-modules-socket). And then I hacked around blindly in SCIM's configuration until it stopped annoying me. The configuration is available in System>Preferences>SCIM Input Method Setup. I don't know what exactly caused the bug to go away, but my config is like this: *** Front End > Global Setup: Keyboard Layout set to Dvorak (I use Dvorak, but a non-standard version, so I doubt this matters). Embed Preedit String... & Share the same input... options checked. Hotkeys: deleted all of them (the fields are empty) IMEngine > Global Setup: All checkboxes disabled (unchecked) Panel > GTK Show: Never (I think this is the only one that matters) Embeded lookup table: checked Vertical lookup table: unchecked Show tray icon: unchecked Stick windows: unchecked *** After setting SCIM as above and configuring my keyboard through the keyboard applet I have my primary keyboard working as expected, including AltGr (I have “Press right alt key to choose 3rd level” enabled in the keyboard options, but also some hacking in the custom keyboard layout; the latter didn't use to work, but I have no idea if it does anything now). However, there are still weird things happening with the secondary keyboard layout (different bug filled for that). YMMV. -- dead keys broken in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 200813] Re: dead keys broken in hardy
Please report whether this is still the case after reboot. For me, apt-get-removing all scim packages fixed the issue temporarily, but after reboot, AltGr did not work (again). I just reinstalled scim, but this did not change anything. So, my current situation is this: After booting, AltGr does not work. So I right click my keyboard panel applet, select keyboard settings, switch to the second tab (layouts) and press the layout settings button, which is located on the right side, below the 'reset to defaults' button and above the 'try your settings here' input box. A dialog "keyboard layout settings' is opened. There, I expand Third Level Choosers. Actually, I guess I could take *any* of those expandable categories. Now, I usually tick the 'Press Right Alt key to choose 3rd level'. The interesting thing here is: - If it is ticket already, I untick it - If it is unticked, I tick it. - In both cases, I can click twice, so that in the end I'm still having the same settings as before - and it still works. This Changing-The-Keyboard-Layout-Settings, no matter in which way I change them, brings back the AltGr key. (äåéëþüúíóö«»¬) Now I would really like to know what happens inside the X keyboard server, and then autorun this on every boot.

[Bug 200813] Re: dead keys broken in hardy
More observations: Earlier today, I found out that checking "Press Right Alt key to choose 3rd level" (which is not l10ned to German, by the way!) in the keyboard layout settings did actually activate the AltGr keys for me. (äåéëþü for qwerty while pressing Right Alt) So I thought, I got it, but: Now, after rebooting, it did not work, again... so I went to the keyboard dialog > layout settings again and *removed* the "Press right Alt key to choose 3rd level" check mark again. Which made keys work again. Therefore, I guess that committing those settings, no matter how they are changed, activates something (making AltGr work) that should be activated on boot. -- dead keys broken in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Another observation: Whenever AltGr keys do not work, the window opening from "Show current layout" in the context menu of the keyboard indicator applet does not show a layout. It's just a big window in the UI background color.

[Bug 200813] Re: dead keys broken in hardy
I can confirm that removing SCIM caused my loosing dead-keys. I uninstalled it for the same reason posted above, it kept switching to weird input modes all the time for no obvious* reason. (*Actually, I suppose it's because I use all sorts of key combinations all the time—that's why I need dead keys, too—maybe some of them overlapped with it.) In my case, I have AltGr+some letters type accented characters directly (which works) and AltGr+some keys working as dead keys (which used to work, but now gives me the non-combining accent as soon as I type the dead-key combination). -- dead keys broken in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi! I've already answered on the other bug report (#200160) and seen that it was a duplicate. I just wanted to point out that it seems to aim everyone that has a non-english kb layout and who also uninstalled SCIM. The first condition is because english language doesn't need accents as often as spanish or french does, for instance. The second condition is because SCIM seems to not have been tested enough in my opinion...
