All I did to fix this issue was the following: 1. In Keyboard layout, add US english and move to the top and accept. 2. Go back to layout again and add UK layout and remove US layout. 3. Make UK the default and accept. 4. Cool!
The errors went away and I got my pound sign (see ££££££!). This may have spelt the end of Dapper for me....but now it's fixed (and seeing as I love Gnome over KDE so much) I'm staying. Lovely distro...and lets hope all bugs are removed in future releases. Still I'm recommending Ubuntu to all my pals. -- Pound sign disabled; cannot change keyboard layout https://launchpad.net/bugs/44014 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
