This is actualy a GDM bug, GDM does not pick up on your change in the default keyboard layout. To prove this (and workaround the issue) Remove the keyboard layout that you chose during the install, at the login screen the keyboard layout you chose will be selected, change this to the new default, the layout you chose during installation will not come back. You can also reverse the process, log out, change the keyboard layout in gdm, and the layout you chose in gdm will show up in your layouts.
** Package changed: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) => gdm (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - additional keyboard layouts keep on re-appearing + GDM does not detect a change to the default keyboard layout automaticly ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Steps to reproduce: 1. select some default keyboard layout during setup 2. Set new default keyboard layout - 3. remove keyboard layout that you chose during setup - 4. restart (auto login, or through gdm it does not matter) - 5. the keyboard layout chosen during setup will have come back + 3. log out or restart, the layout set during install will still be the default selection of gdm + + The new default keyboard layout still gets used, but it causes the + layout to show up, even if you removed it in gnome-control-center ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Mar 2 22:51:30 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: gnome-applets 2.29.5-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=C SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-15.22-generic SourcePackage: gnome-applets Uname: Linux 2.6.32-15-generic i686 -- GDM does not detect a change to the default keyboard layout automaticly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
