As I wrote early: "I'm using English (default) and Russian layouts with toggle by "Caps" key. I've tried other toggle buttons (e.g., Ctrl+Shift) and I've checked xkb-data version 2.5-1ubuntu1 (precise) and 2.5-1ubuntu1.3 (precise-proposed). Both are affected." xkb-data in precise-proposed still has the version 2.5-1ubuntu1.3. - Nothing changed during last two weeks.
I found a way to reproduce the issue: I'm using USB keyboard. Disconnect the keyboard's cable and reconnect it back always leads to override of "~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/" settings by mentioned in "/etc/default/keyboard". Attempt to change settings via GnomeControlCenter works until the next reconnection of keyboard (or reboot). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022488 Title: [region]: does not modify /etc/default/keyboard Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 I have changed the settings of switching between keyboard layouts. Unfortunately the new settings work maximum until a reboot or even some applications stop usage of the new settings during current session. Some investigations show up that file "/etc/default/keyboard" was not modified during implementation of settings. After manual change of the file switch between layouts works as expected, but further attempts to change toggle combination of keys or keyboard indicator for layouts via gnome-control-center do not work. --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu11 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu0.3 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-27.43-generic 3.2.21 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-27-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo vboxusers usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu2 gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu5 indicator-datetime 0.3.94-0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1022488/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
