Title:
unable to switch keyboard layouts
Status in “xkeyboard-config” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
when setting keyboard layouts to switch with Alt+ Shift keys nothing happens
i need to open the keyboard layout indicator (applet) choose preferences
then a dialog opens.
i choose LAYOUTS
then i choose LAYOUT OPTIONS
then LAYOUT SWITCHING
the i disable and re-enable the Alt + Shift checkbox
only then it works !
when i logout and login into the session the setting is gone.
and when i boot the machine it is gone too.
clicking the Keyboard Layout indicator (applet) works fine.
when i change the xorg.conf manually and add
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
all works fine.
but, i think it should work without changing the xorg.conf file.
it seem that when the session starts and the keyboard layout applet loads it
does not
issue a change in the X keyboard setting ? (maybe)
