Perhaps I can add some clues which hopefully will help to solve this problem:
1) Restart of ibus change the keyboard layout always to US, while the indicator still shows the configured layout. - Configure a non US layout like German [DE]. - The Keyboard indicator shows the correct "De" - The Keyboard has the correct German layout (QWERTZ) - Open a terminal and type in "ibus restart" - The Keyboard indicator still shows "De" - But the Keyboard has now US layout (QWERTY) Shouldn't the ibus restart preserve the keyboard layout? 2) Since the last major release ibus has a new command line option: "--restart" or "-R". This option is missing in the current man page (I use Ubuntu 15.10), but if you run "ibus-daemon -h" you get: -R, --restart restart panel and config processes when they die. 3) I didn't find out where and how idbus-daemon is actually started, but assuming - the daemon is started with restarting option - the daemon dies during startup and automatically restarts - that the automatic restart also change silently the keyboard layout In this case we would have US layout after startup, but the indicator will show the configured keyboard layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240198 Title: [SRU]Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1240198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
