Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04LTS 32 bit.
I customised the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr keyboard layout file and am
using two different variants from the same file - French(alternative) and
French (alternative, latin-9 only).
Until the end of June, I had a problem with these layouts being "lost" on
shutdown, but there was a workaround by using this command:
setxkbmap "fr(oss)","fr(oss_latin9)"
on startup.
I was away and didn't use my pc for a month and when I came back and installed
all updates (310 of them) there's a new problem. As before the keyboard layouts
return to the standard non customised versions of the keyboard layouts. (I
wonder where is it loading it from. Is there a backup copy somewhere?) However,
if I select "Show layout chart" it does show the correct layout.
Since the updates, using the above command no longer works. The only workaround
I found was to enter in the Keyboard layout settings, remove one keyboard
layout and add it again. Then both layouts work perfectly.
I've attached the custom layout file.
