[Bug 997479] Re: Keyboard layout is set to English until "Primary" keyboard is pressed

[Joseph Maillardet]

Same here, but with Ubuntu French installation (from Fresh 12.04 liveCD
on PXE), French K750 keyboard, Dell latitude E6500 with integrated
French keyboard. I have installed my laptop with a dock station (laptop
closed on dock with external keyboard, screen and cable network).

LightDM, Unity and Gnome-Shell applet display « fr_FR » keymap but
layout is en_US. The physical « azerty » chain display « qwerty » on
screen until I press a key of the integrated keyboard.

After login on Gnome-Shell or Unity with external K750 keyboard, keymap
is still en_US. If I run 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' the
keymap go right in fr_FR without pressing a key of the integrated
keyboard... until I reboot.

Running 'update-initramfs -u -k all' after 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
configuration' don't fix the problem.

If y plug another external keyboard (basic dell keyboard) in place of my
K750. Everything go right :'(

Title:
  Keyboard layout is set to English until "Primary" keyboard is pressed

Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a laptop (Lenovo T420, US) with an external keyboard (Logitech
  K750, NO). The default keyboard layout is set to norwegian, but
  english is added to the keyboard layout menu.

  After login the keyboard layout should be norwegian, but it is set to
  english until I press a key on the laptop keyboard. After a key is
  pressed on the laptop, the layout for the external keyboard is set to
  norwegian. However, the keyboard notification always displays "no".
