This bug doesn't seem to be present in 8.10. Thanks for chasing it up! The error was still appearing after the upgrade, but I bumped the settings in Keyboard Preferences, which I guess caused the config to be re-written. The outputs of the above commands are now:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "jp106", "jp,jp", "106,", "grp:shifts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "jp106", "jp,us,jp", ",,kana", "grp:shifts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll" $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [jp,us,jp kana] model = jp106 options = [] -- Error activating XKB configuration: Japanese keyboard with US layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
