[Bug 1240198] Re: Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop

 

Hi:

I was experiencing the same issue with my Ubunty Trusty Tahr. A
workaround that worked for me was this:

1- Access the Language Support from the System Settings.
2- Select "None" in the Keyboard input method system (default is IBUS).

I restarted twice and the issue was fixed. Not sure about the potential
consequences of disabling this option though; I found what the IBUS
feature was (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus) but did not
understand it completely.

Hopefully this may work for someone else. It'll be appreciate it if
someone with more knowledge can tell me what does this feature do
specifically and if this might affect the computer's behaviour or
functionality.

Regards!

Title:
  Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I upgraded from raring to saucy.

  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...)

  Switching to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) fixes the problem and
  changes the layout to the german layout.

  all the time, the new input settings indicator says the german layout
  is active.
