The workaround from #21 does not work. It just happend again. Sometimes the wrong layout is already set right after boot and you have to change it before you are able to login or sometimes it happens when switching to another window.
I have two Acer laptops, both have been upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and both have this problem. One of them already had the problem in 13.10, not in 12.04 though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just upgraded from 12.04 (raring) to 12.10 (saucy) and keyboard layout keeps changing from pt_br to what I think is en_us. It seems random so I don't know what trigger this, but sometimes just alt-tabbing is enough to mess with keyboard layout in one of the windows. I already removed the en_us from my keyboard sources, double checked the use of one source for all windows, and even removed accelerators to switch between layouts but none have worked.
