keyboard layout EN after boot

14.04 keyboard-layout

Solution 1

Trashing the file in /home/user/.config/ibus solved the issue.

Solution 2

This should fix the problem in 13.10 and 14.04:

In the ubuntu software center, install "dconf Editor" (dconf-editor) (if you don't already have it). Open it, then open desktop -> ibus -> general. Now enable the property "use-system-keyboard-layout". (You want it to have a checkmark next to it.)

Solution 3

Run command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data

Now use the Keyboard Icon to reset to whatever it should be - viz the diagram.

I can't believe this bug has still not been solved with Ubuntu 14.04 ? On my 2 laptops, Acer and Asus, on a random basis, the keyboard layout switch from FR to EN.

This is very frustrating when you type a password and can't see the letters.

How to solve that for good ?

Is that when you try to run usermod? Can you get su running sudo su in Terminal? If so, try to set the root password typing passwd. Then try that step at login screen again. Sorry if im being redundant, I don't know exactly the steps you took.
