Doh! I made two nifty scripts for setting the keyboard automatically, but neither works. When /usr/lib/hal/debian-setup-keyboard runs in response to a keyboard being plugged in, it doesn't know which user plugged in the keyboard or which display they're using. Therefore, it can't get the keyboard preferences. There's a reason why this doesn't work right. It's hard!
Perhaps there's a way to get hal to notify the gconf daemon to force it to reapply the user's preferences? P.S. All this is way beyond me. If you experts want to chime in with a few hints about where to look, I'd sure appreciate it. -- Plugging in a keyboard loses the second keyboard layout when using more than one layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376592 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
