@kbit: I managed to workaround this only by manipulating scim. I first uninstalled everything SCIM but I got the same effect as you did.
So next I installed the minimum scim packages (you'll have to convince aptitude to not install the recommends; I only have libscim8c2a, scim, scim-gtk2-immodule and scim-modules-socket). And then I hacked around blindly in SCIM's configuration until it stopped annoying me. The configuration is available in System>Preferences>SCIM Input Method Setup. I don't know what exactly caused the bug to go away, but my config is like this: *********** Front End > Global Setup: Keyboard Layout set to Dvorak (I use Dvorak, but a non-standard version, so I doubt this matters). Embed Preedit String... & Share the same input... options checked. Hotkeys: deleted all of them (the fields are empty) IMEngine > Global Setup: All checkboxes disabled (unchecked) Panel > GTK Show: Never (I think this is the only one that matters) Embeded lookup table: checked Vertical lookup table: unchecked Show tray icon: unchecked Stick windows: unchecked *********** After setting SCIM as above and configuring my keyboard through the keyboard applet I have my primary keyboard working as expected, including AltGr (I have “Press right alt key to choose 3rd level” enabled in the keyboard options, but also some hacking in the custom keyboard layout; the latter didn't use to work, but I have no idea if it does anything now). However, there are still weird things happening with the secondary keyboard layout (different bug filled for that). YMMV. -- dead keys broken in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
