** Description changed:
- I upgraded from raring to saucy.
+ [Impact]
- After booting into the desktop (unity), the english keyboard layout is
- active, although everything on the system is set to be german (keyboard
- layout, language...)
+ When first boot into Unity desktop, English keyboard layout is active
+ while all other parts of the system language settings are set to another
+ language (e.g. German).
- Switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) fixes the problem and
- changes the layout to the german layout.
+ The bug is properly addressed in newer upstream releases in Vivid, but
+ the changes is too intrusive and not suitable for being back ported in
+ SRU. And changing the default to use system keyboard layout solves the
+ problem.
- all the time, the new input settings indicator says the german layout is
- active.
+ [Test Case]
- locale says:
- LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
- LANGUAGE=de_DE
- LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
- LC_ALL=
+ 1. Set the system language to something other than English, e.g. German.
+ 2. Create a new user, log in to the Unity desktop of the new user.
+ 3. Check the keyboard layout, it should be German instead of English.
- /etc/default/keyboard says:
- # Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for
- # documentation on what to do after having modified this file.
+ [Regression Potential]
- # The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
- # values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
- # in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
-
- XKBMODEL="pc105"
- XKBLAYOUT="de"
- XKBVARIANT=""
- XKBOPTIONS=""
-
- # If you don't want to use the XKB layout on the console, you can
- # specify an alternative keymap. Make sure it will be accessible
- # before /usr is mounted.
- # KMAP=/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz

+ Since this changes the default value of the keyboard layout settings by
+ using system defined as default, it avoids using ibus's built-in
+ keyboard layout related functionality, so that this could be a
+ regression for users rely on this certain behavior (e.g. use English
+ keyboard while want to keep the system language settings to German), but
+ such behavior is not expected for normal usage.
** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu Trusty)
