Still happening through 15.04. Set XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:swapcaps" in /etc/default/keyboard, and did dpkg-recofigure + udevadm trigger commands, and also reboots. Everything is fine in virtual conoles and once logged in, but in the greeter the setting is never applied.

I edit /etc/default/keyboard and reboot. When I log back my changes are not in effect. Running `sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change --verbose` fixes things: keyboard configuration changes are applied. Running `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` also helps. Obviously both work only until next reboot/logout. Why I think this bug is related to unity-greeter: changing display manager to gdm or to lightdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter makes the problem vanish. I'm using Awesome WM but default Unity desktop is also affected: while I can change keyboard options in Settings -> Keyboard layout, I still cannot apply system-wide settings from /etc/default/keyboard ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: unity-greeter 0.2.8-0ubuntu1.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic-pae 3.2.28 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Oct 10 16:02:04 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120822.4) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity-greeter UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1065030/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
