[Bug 1246272] Re: Keyboard layout changing randomly
Scanning via this bug I also noticed, that in dconf-editor desktop/ibus/general/ has some ugly values: - engines-order is ['xkb:us::eng', 'xkb:pl::pol'] - preload-engines is ['xkb:pl::pol', 'xkp:pl(intl)::(null)'] I can play with those but I am not sure what do they mean. Where can one read about ibus-settings ? Looks like GUI configuration not quite saves what I click, so I am OK with configuring those manually, but would not like to do it blindly… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1246272] Re: Keyboard layout changing randomly
As my case is slightly specific, let me describe it too. I use specific variant of Polish keyboard - pl(intl) instead of default pl (it is simply much better considering extra symbols). This variant is configured in unity settings (I finally removed all other keyboards from there), while fighting with the problem I also configured it in /etc/default/keyboard. Since I updated to 14.04, at chaotic moments (at least a few times a day but I did not spot any rule yet), my layout silently switches back to 'pl'. Whenever I spot it, I issue setxkbmap 'pl(intl)' and get my keyboard back ……… for some time. And again, and again. Thing is not login/reboot related, one of my machines works continuously for weeks (and presents me this problem every day). I experience it both on „normal Unity desktop” and on somewhat specific machine with Gnome+Awesome. I noticed that ~/.dmrc (I have no clue what it is and where it comes from, I checked it as it was mentioned above) has WRONG layout (Layout=pl without variant) It may be of importance (someone above mentioned mixed language settings), that I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (and other locale similarly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1246272] Re: Keyboard layout changing randomly
As I googled out http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2014-05/msg08453.html let me also mention that I had „use-system-keyboard” disabled. And short summary from my side: we have many sources of possible keyboard settings (~/.dmrc, dconf-editor settings, /etc/default/keyboard, keyboard settings in Xorg, maybe more). Those can be edited by various means (different preferences dialogs, *conf- editors, gsettigs) and it seems some of those happen to be generated from some others at not-so-clear (for me) moments by not-so-clear (for me) apps. While the system is executing, one can impact keyboard via setxkbmap or similar APIs, by keyboard switching shortcuts/panels and - it seems to me - by some background processes (IBUS?) The result is that I have completely no idea where my settings are taken from, what impacts them and why do they change and when. The bug as such looks like an effect of some inconsistency between those various settings. Debugging it in detail could be hard, but if somebody clearly described what is the INTENDED priority of all those settings, it could be possible to examine whether it is respected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 239231] Re: Cannot name workspaces
@Pedro Workspace naming is not only a matter of switcher. On Compiz I'd love to see workspace names on Expo view, on Cube, maybe on global Super-Tab and in similar cases (in general - in every viewport switching case). Compiz in many ways does great job supporting multi-workspace work but the lack of possibility to name those workspaces somehow hurts. PS Somebody mentioned devilspie and it's workspace name matching.

[Bug 224882] Re: Evince chooses default paper size the wrong way
Having lost good few hours searching where this setting could be, I am +1 to resolve this. Minor, but ... somewhat important note. If you grep /etc/ for 'a4|letter', you will find /etc/papersize. No way you can guess that LANG=en_US.UTF-8 has anything with that At the very least (or until it is patched), my suggestion: in the default config, put on the top of the /etc/papersize the note like: # Note that some applications use LANG/LC_PAPER settings instead of this configuration. # To complete the paper size configuration, set in your /etc/environment (or .bashrc) # LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 for letter # LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8 for A4 -- Evince chooses default paper size the wrong way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224882 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

[Bug 157383] Re: gnome-keybinding-properties doesn't offer to set Switch to desktop n with n=3
I also faced this bug, and can offer detailed diagnostics. Tested on Hedgy Heron, on newly created gnome desktop. This is a bug somewhere between gnome-keybinding-properties and desktop switcher. To reproduce: enable advanced desktop effect (= switch to compiz) while having default two desktops. Then (while having compiz running) right click desktop switcher and increase desktop count (in my case I extended columns to 4 while keeping rows at 1). Then start gnome-keybinding-properties. You will see that you are not offered a chance to setup shortcuts to jump to dekstops 3 and 4 in spite of the fact they exist and work. Behind the courtain you can see in gnome-conf-editor that Apps Metacity general num_workspaces is still 2, manually switching it to 4 resolves the issue. And, in fact, it may be natural. I am not running metacity at all, so why should its settings be updated (one can find that Apps Compiz general.screen0.options.hsize = 4) IMO this is a bug in gnome-keybinding-properties - one can not assume that Metacity.general.num_workspaces shows the number of workspaces anymore. My suggestion: just throw this logic away, make it possible to setup keys for desktops 1, 2, 3, ... 10 or so. While you could try to handle compiz too, you will soon face multihead monitors, or maybe yet another window manager, or Note: I am not the first who faced this bug, in fact somebody described it when I complained on ubuntu users that I can't setup keys for switch to desktop 3/4 -- gnome-keybinding-properties doesn't offer to set Switch to desktop n with n=3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157383 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
