I have hade the same Problem on a Laptop, i fixed it with dconf-editor: "use-system-keyboard-layout" property is enabled (But thats a Workaround)
But now i have a 5 year old ACER Veriton T661, have installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 - Result: no Problem Keyboard keeps SwissGerman like adjusted. Then i have changed the Motherboard Battery on this T661, after Reboot the Keyboard Layout has gone back to english. I set it back to SwissGerman.... shutdown, unplug the PC from Power reboot several Times ... Keyboard Layout is still swissGerman ... no Problem anymore. It looks like a Problem with the location where this information is held. Please check on the Computers with this Problem the Mainboard Battery, maybe thats the Problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240198 Title: Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1240198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
