Title:
keyboard layout settings not remembered
To manage notifications about th
Hello James,
Thank you for the workaround you found. I confirm that this actually worked for
me too and that it did solve the problem !
The settings are being remembered across reboots when the proper keyboard is
selected at the GDM greeting (and this is only needed once).
I do agree with you t
Oops actually I just remembered how I inadvertently worked around the
bug on one machine. And I successfully applied the workaround on the
other. Here are the workaround steps:
1) Go through the process I outlined above to remove the no-longer-
wanted keyboard. [I'm not sure this step is required,
Since there are no "me too" posts (at least exactly related), let me add
one. I've reproduced this bug on two machines. Basic steps;
- I inadvertently chose USA Macintosh keyboard, for a generic PC with an
aluminum mac keyboard (the full non-wireless one).
- Realizing this was a bad choice, and r
I have tried what you just described, but it does not work for me...First off,
I never selected the option "choose keymap for every window" and the
system-wide option was always available and selected.
Still, I cannot get rid of the unwanted keymap, which will always reappear
after reboot. Damn!
I added the ch_fr keymap and made it to my default. First I thought,
there is a similar strange behavior, but only the option "choose keymap
for every window" was activated. I deactivated it and made the setting
ch_fr as my default and de_de as secondary keymap as system-wide
default. After several
It sounds to me that the installer package is doing weird things and perhaps
adding unwanted keyboard maps as a default...then this layout becomes a
system-wide default that cannot be removed or changed!
At least, I experienced the same problem as your Natty server installation but
with Natty De
Ok...but do you have two keyboard layouts to choose from or only one?
Does the indicator applet show in the tray accordingly?
What keyboard did you choose during Natty first installation? Is it the same
one as the layout you use now or did you add an additional keyboard layout
afterward?
I inst
Furthermore, I don't see why the mecanism for disabling the indicator from
showing in the tray would not work or would not be implemented (as stated in
other threads about this indicator): in my opinion, the code for handling the
gconf key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/disable_indi

Yes. I have the standard Ubuntu Natty Narwhal installed onto my Inspiron
1501 with Gnome and Unity. No problems with the keymap anywhere and also
after reboots.
On both systems I am using the same keymap: Desktop works, Server dosn't
and I have no idea why. Hope there is a guru out there who
What do you mean when you say your Natty Desktop is not affected? Have
you done the same keyboard layout configuration as you described with
the german kb map and everything behaves normally both with Xserver and
the console (and also it keeps the configuration across reboots) ?

Oh, it shouldn't be a suggestion. I think it is the same bug and I
described how it behaves on my system. The common thing is: our keymap
will not be remembered across reboots. After several reinstallations I
can say, it won't be solved by choosing other install options.
BTW, my Natty Desktop (not
I have tried your suggestion to reconfigure console-data, but it does not
change the problem. Furthermore, the behavior after reconfiguring console-data
is the same as reported in the bug description: the settings are NOT remembered
across reboots and I always end up with the wrong keyboard in a
I am using Natty Server without X as vbox guest. During the installation
I choosed the german keymap "qwertz" with "no-dead-keys" but I get a
"qwerty" layout. After "dpgk-reconfigure console-data" (as root) I can
use my preferred keymap until the next reboot.
