I verified my compose key was still set up in /etc/default/keyboard: XKBOPTIONS="compose:ralt" I googled around and ran these two commands: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration sudo update-initramfs -u But the problem persists. I notice that the compose key works fine in the console, but it doesn't work in any X application, including the terminal. Here's my current workaround: echo "setxkbmap -option compose:ralt" >> ~/.xprofile It looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this, and it doesn't seem limited to Xfce: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/setxkbmap-option-in-etc-default- keyboard-not-working/4054 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 $ apt-cache policy keyboard-configuration keyboard-configuration: Installed: 1.108ubuntu15.2 Candidate: 1.108ubuntu15.2 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-31.50-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sat Aug 13 09:04:10 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-08 (827 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: console-setup UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-08-05 (7 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1612951/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
