Hi all,
I know this is thread is way old but since I have the same problem I
believe it's worth sharing.
I wasn't able to use the startup command workaround out of the box, and
after some digging the cause is that it runs too early, we need to wait
for some seconds to run.
This is how it worked
Hi Ryan,
thanks for your hints. It helped me to find a workaround, without using
~/.Xmodmap. And now I'm able to switch the keyboard layouts using
"gnome-control-center region layouts", too, withour "loosing" the € or
$ key of the acer laptop again.
I found these links very helpful. Perhaps they
I've long abandoned xmodmap. As the Arch wiki states
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmodmap): "Generally it is not
recommended to use xmodmap, except maybe for the simplest tasks."
Even for simple tasks, there are often easier options available using
XKB. You can browse the data files (e.g.
yesterday I opened a very similar sounding bug in saucy (13.10):

correct nor if a relation has to be added. help welcome.)

Hi,
I have no luck with all these workarounds:
- xmodmap /home/kev/.Xmodmap in startup applications entry
- bash-script with that call in startup applications entry
- bash-script with that call after sleep 30 in startup applications entry
- bash-script in 'pre-satart script' - part in /etc/in
Just a quick follow-up: I can use the suggested workaround as follows.
1) Create a bash-script in my homedir with the xmodmap command.
2) Add this bash-script to startup applications.
It just didn't work when I put the command directly in startup
applications... Go figure..

Hi,
I have no luck with this workaround. I have tried to add the following entry to
.xinitrc, .xsessionrc and startup applications with no luck:
xmodmap /home/rubak/.Xmodmap
It works as expected when executed from a terminal. Is there some other place I
can try to put this which you know for sur
Hi,
thanks for that, yes using the absolute path in the startup applications
entry works fine
xmodmap /home/kev/.Xmodmap
Go figure eh?

Adding

Running

Hi Gunnar. No env var with that name.
I also can't find any information in the log files.
A workaround is trivial but it does seem a bit strange...

Ryan,
Do you use some other login manager but lightdm?
If not, what does the command
env | grep XKB
output?
