Hi, the laptop of my old mother runs under Ubuntu 14.04. She experiments
for 3 around months now very annoying random keyboard configuration
changes, from French to English. The language icon claims to be in
French, though. I've tested near all the trick I found about this
problem, except launching « sh -c "setxkbmap fr" » every session start -
which I will try as soon as possible (TeamViewer is not working properly
anymore - grrrr !). Could someone do something, please ?

I know I'm very annoyed and frustrated by this problem, and that
following words will not be very constructive. Sorry for that, but with
the experience I havec with Ubuntu 14.04, I think it has to be said. It
seems incredible to me that such a problem could appear and stay
unsolved for nearly 1 year. How Ubuntu hope to be (stay ?) credible as
an OS claiming to replace Windows with such insane problems ?

Perhaps the Ubuntu team should concentrate on giving a rock solid user
experience, and not trying to integrate the latest fashion trick. Ubuntu
14.04 is supposed to be *very* stable.
