[Bug 944468] Re: keyboard layouts plugin forgets all settings at random times
I can confirm this bug. It is causing me to pull my hair out at times. I have had situations where I turned off the Caps Lock key during the interval where the bug had goofed up my settings, causing my system to be in Caps Lock mode with no way to turn it off. That necessitating rebooting the computer, because I had no way to re-log in (due to case sensitive passwords). And I keep worrying that I'm going to get stuck with an unknown keyboard layout while logged out, causing me to be completely unable to log in at all. Possibly related: the Keyboard setting in Linux Mint is persistently detecting my keyboard as Japanese layout, even when I delete Japanese from the list of options. So not only is it ignoring my carefully curated xkb settings (and, perhaps needless to say, my xmodmap preferences), it is deciding to set its own keyboard layout. This is a huge bug. Please, please, someone fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944468 Title: keyboard layouts plugin forgets all settings at random times To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/944468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re #13: I think essentially what you suggest (to have Xfce keyboard settings own the persisted settings and xkb-plugin interact with Xkb without persisting), has been done on the plugin side in commit fb667951f66a05b87949b3eaf9e7c04697899fea which is not in 0.5.4.3. Perhaps it's time for a release of the plugin. Side question: if we let Xfce control the layout (i.e. uncheck Use system defaults in Keyboard Settings), then how does one set the default layout? Is it the first in the list?

[Bug 944468] Re: keyboard layouts plugin forgets all settings at random times
Okay, a part of the mystery is unveiled. I installed xfce4.10 (from source) and the behavior of the keyboard panel plugin changed to consistently forgetting all but the first two layouts (us, cz-qwerty) on every system startup. It also forgot the layout switching key. Then it dawned on me that xfce has a keyboard preference app in the system settings and it turned out to be set to use two keyboard layouts: us and cz-qwerty. Sooo, it seems that the xfce settings daemon resets the xkb settings to the preferences set in the system settings dialog at each startup and is totally unaware of the settings changed in the xkb-panel-plugin. This would seemingly lead to a simple solution to the problem of xfce forgetting keyboard preferences as I could simply set them in the system keyboard settings and all would be dandy, except that the keyboard preferences in the system settigs don't let you set the layout switcher key. The option is simply not there and the settings daemon always sets the layout switching key to none. Would there be a way of making the xkb-panel-plugin aware of and able to change the system keyboard preferences? That might just solve tho whole thing as at this point, is seems the problem is caused by an xfce settings daemon and the keyboard panel plugin competing for the attention of the xkb module. Fix it and you will put the smile on the faces of gazillions of international xfce users. :D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944468 Title: keyboard layouts plugin forgets all settings at random times To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkb/+bug/944468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 944468] Re: keyboard layouts plugin forgets all settings at random times
More info: The problem is caused by the official xfce4 keyboard layout settings manager storing the preferences in the xfconf registry (you can find them using the Settings Editor under keyboard-layouts) while the xkb-panel-plugin stores its preferences in xkb using libxklavier. The two settings managers are unaware of each other and so they keep destroying each others work. I think the best solution would be to add the missing options to the official xfce4 keyboard layout settings dialog (the missing options are layout switching key and layout indicator) and make the xkb-panel-plugin use the same xfconf registry entry and open the official settings manager as its preferences.

Hi again! I tried to catch the little beast, so I made a script to monitor xkb settings and scream if they change. Well, since I added this script to my startup, the bug never showed - in other words, the panel plugin works like a charm now. Perhaps the problem was caused by some other programs (such as X or xfce) and disappeared with an update but just in case it didn't, here is the xkb watchdog script you can use to try to hunt the cunning little buxen down. It barks at every system startup as the panel plugin loads its settings for the first time, which is okay but if you hear from it at any other time, it's the bug!
