Same problem here with a japanese keyboard (pc106). The symbols that do not work and used to work before the latest upgrades (that caused also bug #255008) are ']' and '}' (which in the japanese keyboard are in the same key), and the key for '\' and '_' (underscore, one key again).
It still works fine in the console, and it used to work fine in hardy with the appropriate xorg.conf. (The yen key has always been kind of borken too, but that's a different bug, and not a regression like this). Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "jp106" Option "XkbLayout" "jp,jp" Option "XkbVariant" "106," Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" A simple way to see that something is broken (some keys are missing) is when I try to add a japanese layout, attached goes a screenshot of that. Notice that there is no key for ']', '}', which in the japanese keyboard are on the same key (you use shift to select '}'), and take half of the space assigned to 'Return' in the attached layout. Similarly for '\', '_', this key should be taking half of the space assigned to 'Shift_R'. ** Attachment added: "Broken japanese layout" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16840967/Screenshot.png -- evdev-managed keyboard misdetected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255372 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
