I had a similar problem with keymap layout switching to US (both tty consoles and gnomes apps), right after a fresh install of intrepid.
What I did : - fresh install of intrepid (fresh formatted / partition, /home partition unchanged) => keyboard mapping seems ok - install the binary nvidia driver (the recommended version) - fiddle with nvidia-settings - restart X => keyboard behavior changes : trying to enter a pipe (need to presse AltGr + 2 on a swiss french keyboard CH_fr) results in a newline in both gnome terminal and tty. Others 'alternate' chars behave identically. - remove the binary nvidia driver - reboot => keyboard is again fully functionnal I did not try to reproduce this behavior, though. So at first sight it could be related to the nvidia driver. -- With usplash tty consoles doesn't load keymap and font settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
