Hi Gunnar. No env var with that name. I also can't find any information in the log files. A workaround is trivial but it does seem a bit strange... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpa

Just a quick follow-up: I can use the suggested workaround as follows. 1) Create a bash-script in my homedir with the xmodmap command. 2) Add this bash-script to startup applications. It just didn't work when I put the command directly in startup applications... Go figure.. -- You received this

I've long abandoned xmodmap. As the Arch wiki states (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmodmap): "Generally it is not recommended to use xmodmap, except maybe for the simplest tasks." Even for simple tasks, there are often easier options available using XKB. You can browse the data files (e.g.

Hi Ryan, thanks for your hints. It helped me to find a workaround, without using ~/.Xmodmap. And now I'm able to switch the keyboard layouts using "gnome-control-center region layouts", too, withour "loosing" the € or $ key of the acer laptop again. I found these links very helpful. Perhaps they

Hi all, I know this is thread is way old but since I have the same problem I believe it's worth sharing. I wasn't able to use the startup command workaround out of the box, and after some digging the cause is that it runs too early, we need to wait for some seconds to run. This is how it worked
