I've also had a weird problem with the keyboard (not exactly the same). I had "us" and "es" layouts activated ("es" by default). In hardy, everytime I rebooted my machine, the characters were weird: I thought it was something like greek, maybe it was just the "third level modifier".
The temporal solution was to get into "System>Preferences>Keyboard" and change my keyboard from 'generic' to something else and then back to 'generic'. That solved it until the next reboot. Today I tried removing the ".gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard" folder, and now I just have the "es" layout, but no more weird problems when I reboot. Luckily I don't really use the "us" layout. -- Gnome keyboard applet layout wrong after reboot - "third level modifier" stuck on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
