On Right Ctrl press, the cursor jumps to the end of file (like with Ctrl+END). The same jump, when I press the END key. Sometimes it works fine, but mostly not.

Shift with numeric keypad keys works as in MS Windows. It takes an effect immediately but after reboot it behaves like it wasn't set (but it is still checked in the layout options dialog). After doing some testing, I' not sure this is a race condition described in previous comments. I tested System/Admin/Login Window with Enable Automatic Login enabled. A reboot caused the Shift with numeric keypad keys works as in MS Windows to be broken. I then tested System/Admin/Login Window with Enable Timed Login with 30, 60 and 90 second pauses before login. A reboot caused the Shift with numeric keypad keys works as in MS Windows to be broken. I then disabled the Automatic Login and logged in manually, both immediately and after a period of time. In both cases, a reboot caused the Shift with numeric keypad keys works as in MS Windows to work properly. In my case I was running Ubuntu 8.04 as a VMWare client on a Dell Inspiron 1721 Windows host running Vista. So - for me at least, a temporary solution was to turn off the automatic login. Not sure what a manual login would be running that the automatic is not, but there seems to be a difference. -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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

I wanted to add another me too since I'm having this issue, too, periodically (but often). I installed Ubuntu Hardy as a new install soon after the release on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with an regular US keyboard. The only keyboard setting I've changed is to set Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl. under Ctrl key position. It sets this correct when I select the option but does not always set it after I've logged in anew or rebooted. When the setting is not working, I go back into the Layout options, select a different setting then select Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl. again it sets the setting correctly.

[Bug 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
Now under Hardy beta, I'm having big problems with the keyboard layout. I have a german keyboard and use normally the layout with Sun dead keys. It worked well under gutsy. After updating the distro to hardy beta (a problematic process, it didn't complete successfully), my keyboard layout is all mixed up, I get strange characters instead of letters, although the keyboard layout manager still states the layout as being German with Sun dead keys. If I remove this layout and change to the normal german layout, I can type normal letters again. Then when I add the Sun dead keys layout and choose it as the default, it works well again, including 'ê'... until the next reboot, when I have to go through this same process again. The layout doesn't seem to get saved. I'm not sure this is the right place for this lengthy text, but I now know that I'm not the kind of guy who should be trying a beta distribution :-).

Just a me too note to say I started experiencing the same problem after upgrading gnome-control-center to version 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu1 and installing gnome-settings-daemon. I am using a US keyboard layout and my Use capslock as ctrl key option doesn't have any effect after login. Changing it away and back again in GNOME's keyboard setting makes it work. I didn't have this problem before this recent upgrade. The system is upgraded from gutsy pretty early (before alpha 1 release), and I keep a quite up-to-date system, at least an upgrade per week. -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
Bug is confirmed under Hardy Heron Alpha 3 on my Sony Vaio VGN-FS195VP. After having updated Hardy a few days ago the Gnome keyboard layout keeps staying on the US keyboard layout - even though I have removed that one and installed only the Switzerland keyboard layout!! Strange enough, I can switch to my keyboard settings - at least for the time I am working within Gnome - just by clicking on anything in the layout options. But after logging out of Gnome or rebooting the computer the keyboard is set back to the US layout. Evidently, the gnome-keyboard- settings simply does not store the settings made by the user. -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
As far as I can tell, it does store the settings, but gnome-settings- daemon doesn't apply them on the first login. ** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
Does somebody know, how does the Keyboard Preferences / Layout Options feature of gnome work? I mean: * does it run xmodmap behind the scene? * every time you change something in the Keyboard Preferences dialog * plus every time you start the session * does it manipulate XKB layouts? * something else? I have not found any information about gnome concepts in this area on the gnome web site. There are zillions of howtos on the web and part of them partly works, but without knowing the big picture of this multilayered keyboard layout system it is impossible to achieve a reliably working solution. [1] About XKB: http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/html/xkb.html [2] About XKB and Xmodmap http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Intkeyb.html But this sources are possibly obsolete? Not to say about more obscure topics like proprietary keys, for example on my Thinkpad Notebook or Keyboard shortcuts through xbindkeys, keytouch, gnome features and others. -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
After more testing, I think the problem might be with gnome-settings- daemon (which is still in gnome-control-center at the moment). I noticed there are several other issues which I think that are related. I think _no_ keyboard settings are set-up at login, including the layout. For instance, I have a slightly modified dvorak layout set-up in gnome. However, X starts up with the normal dvorak keyboard (as it's set up in Xorg.conf). The differences are small, but I'm pretty sure my custom layout isn't used at login. Also, if I restart gnome-settings-daemon (by killing it and running it again; is there any other way?), the settings take effect immediately; I don't need to re-set them in gnome-keyboard-properties. Since the options are shown as selected in gnome-keyboard-properties, I don't thing gconf's to blame. -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
The annoying thing is that somehow even coding these options into the keyboard layout doesn't work. See bug #138467. I thought there might be a relationship, but the other users presumably didn't hack their layouts like I did. I have two layouts, one that switches caps/ctrl itself and one that doesn't. After a login the switch isn't active on any of them, and after disabling/enabling it in the layout options tab it is active on both. (Ideally, I'd prefer to be able to have this work differently on the two layouts, i.e. switched on my hacked layout and 'normal' on the other. It doesn't seem possible, and it wasn't even before this bug.) -- Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173721 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 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
This is happening to me all the time. The ones I use are Swap Ctrl and CapsLock, Right Alt chooses third level and Both Alt keys together switch layout (although that last one doesn't seem to work, maybe because of AltGr).

[Bug 173721] Re: Gnome keyboard layout options (like remapping Caps Lock) are not reapplied after reboot
I made a new user and found that it does not have this problem. I guess it is something about moving one's settings from a Gutsy setup. I've gotten around this problem by deleting my Gnome dotfiles.
