[Bug 1245081] Re: macbook keyboard layout maps the tilde key to something else

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.12 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  macbook keyboard layout maps the tilde key to something else

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. install ubuntu on Macbook Air 6,2
  2. press the key with the tilde ('~') written on it.
  3. see that is prints '§' instead.

  This is particularly annoying since the way to switch between windows uses the tilde.
