Never mind, I have traced it into libxklavier. The problem is, those "NOT resetting the cache" error messages are a red herring. I hacked libxklavier to always reset the cache on XkbNewKeyboardNotify, and it doesn't make any difference.
The settings are not being applied for some other reason. I did set XKL_DEBUG to 999 and found one interesting difference. When I have autologin on, .xsession-errors contains this: [1216339029,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] found 1 groups [1216339029,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 0 has name [USA] Whereas, when I log in explicitly, it contains this: [1216347662,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] found 2 groups [1216347662,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 1 has name [USA] [1216347662,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 0 has name [-] I don't know much about xkb so I'm not sure what this "-" group is or where it came from. -- [hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot 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
