When it loses the key map, does Onboard switch to US English key labels? Then this old bug here might be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/837456 Recent versions of Ubuntu seem no longer affected, but I keep hearing similar issues with Ubuntu flavors and other distributions.
'setxkbmap <your kbmap>' or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard- configuration' used to help, but only for the current session. IIRC the latter worked because it called setxkbmap at configuration time, only once, though, not on reboot. Perhaps try calling setxkbmap or lxkeymap early, in ~/.xprofile, or even ~/.profile? > The command xmodmap -pke always matches the onboard keymap, > even when it's not the keymap I want. Good, they should be always in sync. Unfortunately it's largely out of our (Onboard's) hands then. X for some unknown reason decides to switch the key map and Onboard just reflects that change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1206122 Title: Onboard keymap lost at reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1206122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
