Public bug reported: With Ubuntu MATE 16.04, I'm unable to switch between keyboard layouts properly.
My locale is LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE=el. The Ubuntu MATE installer correctly made those settings for me: $ grep -i xkboptions /etc/default/keyboard XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" I.e. I should be able to switch between the US and the Greek keyboard layout using Alt+Shift, and the keyboard scroll led indicates the active language. Unfortunately ubuntu-mate-default-settings overrides the correct settings, making me unable to switch languages via Alt+Shift: $ grep -i xkboptions /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf Option "XKbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp" So, please make sure that 90-zap.conf *adds* "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp" to the current xkboptions, instead of *replacing* them. If it's unable to add instead of replacing settings, then please completely remove 90-zap.conf. ** Affects: ubuntu-mate-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574789 Title: xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf destroys xorg keyboard settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-mate-settings/+bug/1574789/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
