I have this problem with norwegian keyboard. Running 12.04 clean install from ISO a week after the release, so I guess it is the same version as people above reports.
When I choose keyboard language from GUI it seems to change, but it sticks to US. A workaround that works is that I do this: sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle no,us,se That allows me using keyboard for quite some time, a few hours. Then norwegian keyboard suddenly disappears. Then I have to run the command again. That forgetting keyboartd issue looks like a few bugs named "Ubuntu forgets keyboard language USB". I have both problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985065 Title: Can't use fr/oss keyboard layout by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/985065/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
