In my case, what helped was to remove package `numlockx` with `sudo apt- get purge numlockx`.
This package `numlockx` was integrated into Xubuntu's startup with version 18.04 (see https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/18.04/release- notes#numlock). It always turns on Num Lock on startup, which is related to the Neo keyboard layout behaving weirdly as others mentioned above. With that I can use 2 keyboard layouts. I hope this helps others. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783987 Title: German Neo2 Problem with Xubuntu 18.04 (try out mode) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1783987/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
