I'm game. 1. $ head -n 1 /etc/default/keyboard # Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for
2. In /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian, I see this: "While it will be safe to edit directly the configuration files (/etc/default/keyboard and /etc/default/console-setup) perhaps it will be easier to use dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" Hmm, to me that implies that I should only run those commands if I don't want to edit /etc/default/keyboard directly. In addition: "console-setup This package is responsible for the actual configuration of the console (font and keyboard). It is responsible for the configuration file /etc/default/console-setup." implies that console-setup doesn't even have anything to do with /etc/default/keyboard. I had already run the first command as previously mentioned, so I ran the second command. Removed my fix from ~/.xprofile, rebooted. Didn't work. Am I missing something? I've attached the whole file just in case I'm missing something. ** Attachment added: "/usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1612951/+attachment/4724216/+files/README.Debian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612951 Title: /etc/default/keyboard ignored after upgrade to 16.04 Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I just upgraded Xubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, and I noticed my compose key wasn't working in any application in X. I verified my compose key was still set up in /etc/default/keyboard: XKBOPTIONS="compose:ralt" I googled around and ran these two commands: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration sudo update-initramfs -u But the problem persists. I notice that the compose key works fine in the console, but it doesn't work in any X application, including the terminal. Here's my current workaround: echo "setxkbmap -option compose:ralt" >> ~/.xprofile It looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this, and it doesn't seem limited to Xfce: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/setxkbmap-option-in-etc-default- keyboard-not-working/4054 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 $ apt-cache policy keyboard-configuration keyboard-configuration: Installed: 1.108ubuntu15.2 Candidate: 1.108ubuntu15.2 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-31.50-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sat Aug 13 09:04:10 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-08 (827 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: console-setup UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-08-05 (7 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1612951/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
