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

 

Since 10.04 (fresh install) I was affected by this bug and this other one : 
Bug #1322925 (Copy, paste stops working randomly in Ubuntu 14.04 nautilus)
The last one is very annoying. Suprisingly the two bugs are linked, but think about all shortcuts affected by the last one.

None of them affect me anymore after I have changed my input
configuration via im-config.

I use belgian kbd on Utopic (amd64)

I have launched im-config in console (with sudo to resolve the bug for all users)
and I have Changed 
default (use auto mode set by /etc/default/im-config)
to
ibus (active intelligent input Bus (IBUS) @)

I do not remember if I had to install something to be able to do this.

If like me, you are affected by the two bugs, you may give it a try and
repport it here.

Good luck.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  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).

  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.

  [Test Case]

  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.

  [Regression Potential]

  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.
