Wrong keyboard layout after LTS upgrade

It is fixed.

I think it was duplicate of bug #213973. Is bug #213986 duplicate of bug #213973 also or is it separate bug?

I don't think it is fixed.
Since the LTS upgrade gnome lost the ability to store the correct keyboard settings although they look ok in the Keyboard Preferences window.
Everytime I log in I have to go to keyboard preferences and click on Keyboard model, change the model from Generic 105-key to another one and then back to Generic 105-key (my setting).

This is not a serious bug but it is very annoying having to change the keyboard settings every time after logging in...

I'll be happy to provide more information.

Confirm. Same behaviour with Ubuntu LTS 8.04. Keyboard starts with US-Layout after Reboot. One has to change manually to "de_DE".

Maybe putting "setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant basic" into "rc.local" could be a workaround, bit I didn't test it yet.

Ok, that was easy. Open file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf", change

Option "XkbLayout" "us"

to

Option "XkbLayout" "de"

Or the shortcut of your country.
If you don't have Root priviliges, add

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant basic

to the end of "/home/user/.profile"

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I'm not using Ubuntu right now. It really was a strange problem and I
didn't get to discover what was causing it.
I do remember, however, that a new install didn't have the problem. It
was somehow caused by doing the upgrade.

I'me planning to try the latest version sometime soon.

No problem. This is being marked Invalid, but of course if the problem should arise again or if any other users experience this problem, feel free to re-open it.

Thankyou
