I seem to have had 2 separate issues with the keyboard. The first being the text console was using US Keyboard settings rather than UK. I think this may be related to console-setup not being able to be installed. I installed the Mar 16 2014 daily xubuntu snapshot into virtual box, and can confirm that console-setup was installed and keyboard appears to function as expected.
Second issue was incorrect keyboard settings in X11. Should be UK but appear to run as US. I seemed to find 2 seperate workarounds for this. 1) from terminal run sudo apt-get remove ibus iBus appears to be some kind of new input device manager. I assume this is not yet configured to learn the installed language. 2) Configure iBus Right click the iBus / Keyboard indicator in the notification area, and select preferences. Click Input Method tab Click customise active input methods Click select an input method drop down, and choose English -> English (UK, extgended WinKeys) Click Add Close windows Logout / Login or restart the ibus indicator Hope this helps Woody -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284635 Title: Keyboard layout changes after login Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: installed trusty beta1 with keyboard layout set correctly during install install completes, login to new install - layout as set during install once logged in - layout set to US and keyboard layout set during install is missing from list ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: keyboard-configuration 1.70ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-12.32-generic 3.13.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Tue Feb 25 12:55:56 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-02-25 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha i386 (20140225) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: console-setup UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1284635/+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
