gutsy upgrade broke keyboard layout

Can you pinpoint if the change is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or in your gnome preferences? Depending on wich, the bug needs to be reassigned.

Thanks,

definetely gnome

The same for me. I've lost my polish keyboard and I have to open Keyboard preferences, and manually add and select polish one.

Sorry for mistake, I've added Polish (default) layout and I still cannot enter polish letters.

It works now (maybe reboot was helpful) Sorry for spamming.

Thank you for your bug. Could you attach you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the result of "gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd"?

Here comes xorg.conf.

It can be non-standard as I made some changes to it (last one was dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg). See details in my comments for bug #100024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/100024

I will not have access to my current configuration from day after tomorrow because I have to change my HDD to a new one (current one is dying) so I unfortunately wouldn't be very helpful from this time.

Oh, i forgot: I'm not sure but I think it could be possible that my keyboard started working after I changed xorg.conf with dpkg-reconfigure. I don't remember the order of making changes, but maybe that would be useful.

if reconfiguring xorg made it work that's likely an xorg issue

I'm not sure if reconfiguring xorg was helpful - it can be false coincidence in my memory.

I am sure that i had broken keyboard after upgrade, and I don't know if the problem was somewhere in configuration stored in gconf or xorg. I suppose that it was rather gconf-related, because my keyboard preferences dialog hasn't got polish keyboard in the list of layouts, and AFAIR it reads data from gconf. Seems that configuration migration during upgrade is buggy.

I made clean install of gutsy beta, everything is OK out of the box. Seems to be related only to upgrade process.

I also have an azerty lay-out defined in xorg.conf. After the upgrade, the initial login was in qwerty but I had to remove my feisty xorg.conf in order to make xorg work. I did not have to change anything to the keyboard lay-out once logged in. A second login had again the correct lay-out.

I'm closing this bug, since it's not apparent what has happened. The xorg.conf layout configuration comes from console-setup (/etc/default/console-setup), and then again you can override that from GNOME.
