[Bug 488048] Re: keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login
This is definitely a bug and should be reopened. Some points: 1) gdm also adds the new layout with an implicit selection and 2) it shouldn't add it at all and 3) if it does, it shouldn't set it as default. 1) I ran into this scenario: - default layout selected on installation is alt-intl - created new user with 'password not asked on login' - new user chooses dvorak-intl as default (only) layout The new user had never even seen the gdm keyboard selector, but the default always was alt-intl, which was unwanted. 2) There should be one place for setting the layout for the session. Now the situation is that you can select layouts in gdm and in the gnome-keyboard-properties, of which the first one can be hidden. (The only way I could find it was remove the 'password not asked on login', then logout, change the layout, login again, change the password settings again. Didn't know about the .dmrc file.) It seemed like the changes in the gnome-keyboard-properties are simply ignored. If a user removes a layout, the user does that because he or she does not want to use the layout. Ubuntu should not go behind the back of the user and reenable a layout that was explicitly removed. 3) It might happen that the user does want to login using the system default and then use their own default for their session. E.g. 'latin' username/password to login, russian for the session or something like that. Even if the layout used by gdm is already included in the gnome- keyboard-properties list but not as default, gdm will override this order and change the default. It should be possible to have two different defaults. -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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 488048] Re: keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login
I read up a bit in these threads (where Martin Pitt also contributes a lot) always overrides keyboard layout variants https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572765 Try harder to use the keyboard layout passed by gdm https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585290 I think the one thing that is overlooked, is that some users never see the gdm selector. To not require a password at login (or login automatically) is an option in the Lucid installation, so I think this is not an uncommon situation. The problem also occurs when there is no .dmrc file. These users will not be able to change their default keyboard layout, at least that will be their experience. Therefore I think this bug should be reopened, but I'm quite new to launchpad so I'm not sure whether it is appropriate for me to do that. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #572765 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572765 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #585290 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585290 -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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

Dale, just to confirm, the us alt-intl one is desired and should be the default, right? It's just the us altgr-intl which is wrong? -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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 488048] Re: keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login
Ooh, I see what's wrong. I think you _expect_ to have us altgr-intl and bg phonetic. However, in gdm (the login manager) you selected us alt-intl instead of us altgr-intl (which can be seen in ~/.dmrc in the Layout= line). An explicit selection in gdm adds the new layout unless it was already configured. So all you need to do is to fix the layout in the login manager once. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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

I suspect that the extra keyboard layouts come from the system settings in /etc/default/console-setup. However, if you have a per-user configuration this should usually win over the system configuration.

[Bug 488048] Re: keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login
I am having the same problem. I had two layouts (Latvian and Latvian with apostrophe). In Lucid it seems that keyboard layout indicator is always displayed in the system tray, so I tried deleting my Latvian layout to get rid of the keyboard switcher in the system tray. However, every time I reboot the system, 'Latvian' keyboard is added back. -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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
Re: [Bug 488048] Re: keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login
Hello, The bug is really very easy to reproduce.Just go to system-preferences-keyboard and choose layout. Choose a couple like: USA International (Alt Gr Dead Keys) and Bulgaria Traditional Phonetic. Then log out and log back in again. A third keyboard USA Alternative International (former us_intl) mysteriously appears. This stupid layout that pops up is hardly international. You can't even type German. And what's worse, it screws up the other two layouts.

[Bug 488048] Re: keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login
Since installation of 10.04 UNR Beta 1 (and now, subsequently, Beta 2), layout USA is always added to my German keyboard, and is always the selected default. As long as USA is installed, German refuses to be default, so I remove USA, but it keeps returning after reboots. -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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

The problem is bigger than this because I need asus-laptop and ability to switch between QUERTY and DVORAK. The first time I changed keyboard from USA-105 to ASUS-laptop, it worked. Until I re-booted. Now it doesn't work any more. The keyboard is stuck at whatever it was before, but system/preferences/keyboard still shows ASUS-laptop. -- keyboard layout needs to be reset after each login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488048 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
