In my case, what helped was to remove package `numlockx` with `sudo apt- get purge numlockx`.
This package `numlockx` was integrated into Xubuntu's startup with version 18.04 (see https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/18.04/release- notes#numlock). It always turns on Num Lock on startup, which is related to the Neo keyboard layout behaving weirdly as others mentioned above. With that I can use 2 keyboard layouts. I hope this helps others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783987 Title: German Neo2 Problem with Xubuntu 18.04 (try out mode) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1783987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
