i can confirm that bug with a Dell Mini 9 (inspiron 910) i've just bought, running default Dell-customed-Ubuntu.
Without updates it worked fine Since i've done an update, i have that bug Although i'm french, my keyboard is always set on QWERTY on startup instead of AZERTY The setxkbmap workaround worked for me I agree with Filippo Argiolas who wrote on 2009-02-26 : "I believe Ubuntu Hardy shipped with Dell Mini 9 is also affected by this bug (it uses autologin), at least it is after latest upgrades. As far as I can tell it worked fine before the upgrades so it could be fixed reverting the change that introduced it, I don't know but maybe it would be easier than going through a SRU to backport upstream patches." I guess that french Dell customers will not be very happy with that situation since mots users don't browse launchpad everyday... -- A GNOME login without keypress dosn't set GNOME keyboard settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277 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
