I want to underline that my comment was not *at all* a critic to developers. There is something pesky going on with keyboards, and difficult to spot (although I suspect some kind of bad interaction between {unity,gnome}-control-settings and ibus). The monster bug #1218322 would have been fixed otherwise, it's one of the hottest bug of all launchpad. Simply I think that marking this bug low is understating its importance --- Ubuntu should work all over the planet.
As a data point, I switched my laptop which sports a Spanish keyboard to Xubuntu (not for this bug, just a matter of usability and too few RAM), disable system keyboard configuration, no IBUS, and never had a problem with the keyboard. Which points to the direction above... from a layman point-of-view. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246272 Title: Keyboard layout changing randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
