Workaround is to remove all keyboard related settings from gconf: 1) logout, login in text console 2) kill -1 -1, wait a moment and then kill -3 -1 3) go to .gconf directory and remove apps/gswitchit directory, remove desktop/peripherals/keyboard as well 4) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart 5) login in gdm 6) setup you keyboard preferences again
For some people this can work, others may need to: 7) logout, go to text console 8) restart gdm again: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart This fixed the problem for me. Personally, I suspect that the real problem is the apps/gswitchit directory only and it should be removed from gconf during upgrade. -- [Feisty] Keyboard layout is not indicated https://launchpad.net/bugs/86013 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
