This is definitely a new regression for me in 18.04, I didn't suffer from it
before. Judging by the large numbers of new comments from 18.04 users, this is
likely the case for others as well.
Is there some way to signal this in the bug flags/metadata?
(I tried to report a new 18.04 specific bug
I can reproduce the bug in Ubuntu 18.04.1 by re-configuring keyboard-
configuration package (version 1.178ubuntu2.7) with DISPLAY being
unset/empty, e.g.:
tuomas@matta:~ 0 $ sudo DISPLAY= DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Never had this problem until recently, but seems to align with updates
being installed. Using 18.04.1 and yes, "sudo kbd_mode -s" seems to fix
it. Using Dell XPS 9350.

Yes, that much is obvious, and I said in my reply that we should
consider changing that case too.
I want to know if this is the *actual* cause of the bug for people,
because that affects the severity relative to a case where it is
triggering for people in a more normal course of action.

Just because DISPLAY isn’t set for the current process doesn’t mean X or
Wayland aren’t running. For example:
pkexec env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-

still triggers this bug (because pkexec does not propagate environment
variables), and you can imagine

This bug is still happening and it absolutely certainly does not have
anything to do with mechanical issues.

Closing that old report running oldish settings/profiles. There is no
issue with recent releases; and the 'random' issue mainly point to a

OK. I think I figured this one out.
If one installs console-cyrillic package and selects Unicode (utf-8) input and
enables it at boot time, then the script cyr executes 'kbd_mode -u' at
startup, whith /dev/console as the standard input. Running 'kdb_mode -u
/dev/console' at any time triggers
The bug is still here, in 10.10. Very annoying!
Submitted the same bug as Bug #730307
Disabling console-cyrillic at boot time solves the problem, but leaves console
without Russian characters.
I manually edited /etc/console-cyrillic, changing YES to NO in the following
line:
# Bootsetup: NO
Console-cyrillic just calls kbd_mode -u. This command alone produces
the bug.
The bug is easy to reproduce: do not install console-cyrillic, but simply add
the kbd_mode -u command to /etc/rc.local.
On the GDM login screen press Alt+F2, and you will switch to text console!
So, the but is related
Even easier way to reproduce the bug.
Run the following command from X terminal emulator (Gnome terminal, xterm):
kbd_mode -u
and see the effect instantly.
