There is a workaround for X. Taken from: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/alt-gr-taste-deaktiviert-sich-manchmal-selbst/#post-1854109
Run "xmodmap -pke > .xmodmap" in your home directory. Than edit the file ".xmodmap" by exchanging the line "keycode 156 = XF86Launch1 NoSymbol XF86Launch1 NoSymbol XF86Launch1" by "keycode 156 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift". Than execute "xmodmap .xmodmap". Now the AltGr-key is working fine until you reboot the system. To make it stable you can use "gnome-session-properties". Simply add "xmodmap .xmodmap" as startup command. Note: This workaround only deals with X! I tried the analog workaround using "loadkeys" before I found this workaround, but it failed. The key press event was proceeded Ok, so I was able to write "@". But after releasing the "AltGr" key every key behaves still as in third level. This is what I did: loadkeys<<eof > keycode 148 = AltGr > eof What is wrong about that? -- extended ascii characters not displayed on cold boots https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285908 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
