Public bug reported:
Using Xubuntu 12.04 and autologin configured during installation,
~/.Xmodmap is being executed in a wrong way.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a ~/.Xmodmap file with the following lines:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
- Configure your account to be automatically logged in on boot.
Current behaviour:
- Caps Lock key works both as Caps_Lock AND Escape at the same time.
- If you try to run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap you should get:
xmodmap: .Xmodmap:2: bad keysym in remove modifier list 'Caps_Lock', no
corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: .Xmodmap:3: bad keysym target keysym 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding
keycodes
xmodmap: 2 errors encountered, aborting.
- If you log off and login again with your user and password, .Xmodmap
is applied. This is also true if autologin is disabled.
Expected behaviour:
Caps_Lock should work as another Escape key.
