Public bug reported:
I use two keyboard layouts in Ubuntu 9.10: Croatian (Croatia US keyboard with
Croatian letters - default) and Bulgarian (Bulgaria Traditional Phonetic). I
set these layouts immediately after installing Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix on my
Dell Mini 9. A week later I noticed that another keyboard layout was added to
these layouts in the Keyboard Preferences Layouts tab (hr,bg us,phonetic).
When I right clicked on the keyboard indicator and selected Groups item I saw
my keyboard layouts doubled, i.e.:
Croatia US keyboard with Croatian letters
Bulgaria Traditional Phonetic
Croatia US keyboard with Croatian letters
Bulgaria Traditional Phonetic
When I changed between the keyboards, the keyboard indicator changed in the
following way: Hrv, Bgr, Hrv2, Bgr2 ("2" was displayed like an index). I tried
to remove the additional keyboard layout (or group) by removing it from the
Keyboard Preferences Layouts tab but after rebooting the computer this layout
appeared again. I looked on the Internet for information about such a bug and
found some similar cases which were fixed by adding "setxkbmap" to the Startup
applications. I also added "setxkbmap" to the Startup applications but
unfortunately after rebooting my computer the additional keyboard appeared
again. Then I looked for more information and found suggestions to add options
"XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" to xorg.conf file. Unfortunately I wasn't able to
find such a file in /etc/X11/ directory, so I created it in this directory and
put in it the content of a basic Intel xorg.conf (found here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1174702). Then I added an Input device
section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "hr,bg"
Option "XkbVariant" "us,phonetic"
EndSection
Finally, I saved the file and rebooted the computer. There was no effect at
all: the additional keyboard layout appeared again.
