I know of several users who use 2 or more keyboard layouts and they do not have any issue
at all. Also user sessions
won't be permitted to write into /etc directly, so there must be something else going
on in your system.
But I have, my users will have and I cannot to use "the changes" at all since
the list of the key combination for the
layout switching is empty, not synced in the tab "Layouts" and "Xkb
Options" and doesn't have my key combination
lctrl_lshift_toggle, which is discouraging "the changes", I assume.
Hi Roman,
not sure what went wrong on your system, but I have attached a screenshot of what the
keyboard layout XKbOption tab
should look like. Plenty of options there, even if my /etc/default/keyboard file is just a
few lines and pretty much
empty (less than 10 lines).
In Debian, no tdebase-related package writes in /etc/default/keyboard and moreover the
settings for kxkb are stored in
~/.trinity/share/config/kxkbrc.
Not sure what your distro is, but it seems the problem is something local to your own
system, since so far no one else
has reported problems with keyboard layout switching so far.
Happy to look to further into this issue, if you can find out what is wrong and I can
reproduce the problem here.
Cheers
Michele
