Since there are no "me too" posts (at least exactly related), let me add one. I've reproduced this bug on two machines. Basic steps;
- I inadvertently chose USA Macintosh keyboard, for a generic PC with an aluminum mac keyboard (the full non-wireless one). - Realizing this was a bad choice, and remembering that this keyboard works best with an "USA", "Generic 104-key PC" layout: ----- I added that keyboard using the Keyboard Preferences dialog. ----- I removed the "USA Macintosh" keyboard. Then for that session, the keyboard indicator went away and the layout was "correct" (to my tastes - specifically, "Generic 104-key PC" and NOT the horribly busted (IMO) "USA Macintosh" layout. But when I reboot, now there are two layouts (both the macintosh one and the generic one). And even though "USA" is the first listed, the active keyboard is actually "USA Macintosh". And the keyboard indicator is there. No matter how many times I go through this, and whether or not I click "Apply System-Wide" after fixing the settings, it always comes back after a reboot with two keyboards and the wrong one active. I've repeated this on two PCs, both with fresh installs of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Norwhal x86 32-bit, and all updates applied as of 2011-06-18 (posting date). One machine is a Pentium 4 with 2gb RAM, the other a Pentium III with 512mb RAM. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779509 Title: keyboard layout settings not remembered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/779509/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
