You have been subscribed to a public bug: well, i did a clean install of maverick and selected neo2 (a german keyoard-layout with large similarities to DVORAK) as default layout.
naturally i needed to change the layout when my first guests arrived and they needed to look something up. now i have the keyboard application indicator which allows me to switch between layouts. the problem is: neo2 layout is not fully functional now (even if i remove regular german layout). with neo2, one can reach third level by pressing caps lock. unfortunately the caps lock stays a capslock now, no matter what. so i cannot use the neo2 layout anymore, because i cannot reach level 3. that's a terrible bug: if i would have removed regular german layout before recognizing that it ruined my other layout i would not have been able to type my root/user password anymore. WORKAROUND: Ok, now i figured out what maybe causing this: If i add another layout in the keyboard options, the tool automatically sets a shortcut for switching between those layouts, namely SHIFT + CAPS LOCK. So just go to Keyboard > Layouts > Options > Keys to change Layout, and then uncheck the concerning shortcut. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-keyboard (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: keyboard-indicator -- Neo2 keyboard layout doesn't work after adding regular german layout in maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646769 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-keyboard in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
