Jimbo, have you tried removing all keymaps (aka input sources) and re-adding them? I heard this helped occasionally, at least before Trusty. In Trusty the settings panel can be reached with unity-control-center region
I'm not sure about the later comments, but your initial description sounds like old bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/837456 The workaround back then was to run (for French keys) setxkbmap fr This would pin the keymap down for the current session at least. Does that still help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302770 Title: keymap unstable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1302770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
