Hello James, Thank you for the workaround you found. I confirm that this actually worked for me too and that it did solve the problem ! The settings are being remembered across reboots when the proper keyboard is selected at the GDM greeting (and this is only needed once).
I do agree with you that this is only a workaround; and that is does not actually solve the bug... But it is now clear that there is an interaction between the GDM greeter and gnome-settings-daemon: GDM seems to superseed the settings saved with gnome-settings-daemon for that user at startup and force it's own settings for the session. Now, should this bug be re-routed to the GDM team? -- 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
