------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-07 23:08 UTC ------- I've got the same problem as the original submitter and will answer for him. I think the first phrase should be rewritten as follows: 'Changes made to the keyboard layout in gnome-keyboard-properties are not applied and have no effect.' In my case I've installed ubuntu 5.10 from scratch (CD) and choosen Englich as my Language. My Keyboard is Swiss-French. As the installer does not allow you to change the layout to something other than English I've postponed the Keyboard to after installation. When I start the gnome Keyboard Preferences tool (System - Preferences - Keyboard) I can choose my keyboard very nicely. The change persists across reboots in the Keyboard Preferences tool, but has no effect. When I check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file then I see that the Keyboard section is still configured with an 'us' layout. Manually setting the keyboard using the xmodmap utility works fine I've tried 'xmodmap' and 'setxkbmap', both work: $ xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.ch $ xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.ch_fr $ setxkbmap -layout ch -variant fr -model thinkpad The gconftool command displays different stuff, depending on the user, as 'root' the output is empty, as 'markus', the output looks good: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/xmodmap# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [] model = overrideSettings = true options = [] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [ch fr] model = thinkpad options = [grp grp:alts_toggle] overrideSettings = true However, to me it looks like gnome is just failing to update the xorg.conf file as it should. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
