Enabling extra typographic characters adds third keyboard layout

[Alexey Androsov]

I have russian and english layouts and want to enable typographic characters (such as «»… and others)

KDE:
System settings -> Language -> keyboard layout
Set "Enable extra typographic characters"
my xkb command: "setxkbmap -option -option grp:caps_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,misc:typo"

All works well, but when I restart system I get 3 layouts: english, russian, typo (called "3"). And every time I start my computer I need to call setxkbmap command manualy to remove unnecessary 3rd layout.

Kubuntu 9.04
KDE: 4.2.3 from kubuntu-ppa (http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu)
Same problems with KDE 4.2.2 from official repository.

My friends use Ubuntu 9.04 (gnome) and have same problem.

I suppose this problem is in xkb.

Hi aandrosov,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Thanks for reply!
My problem is reproduced every restart.

Here is my logs.

I have the same problem but it appears only after I change brightness with keyboard (Fn-Home/Fn-End)
I have ThinkPad z60m, Ubuntu 9.04

[Alexey Ten (Lynn) (alexeyten)]

Well, the problem appears after any keyboard combination which generates acpi event (Fn-Space, ThinkVantage button, etc.)

[Alexey Androsov (doochik)]

I have same effect too.

1) Start system: 3 layouts
2) fix layouts with this command
$ setxkbmap -option -option grp:caps_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,misc:typo
3) press key which generates acpi event (for example, Fn+Volume Up) and get 3rd layout again

My notebook: Fujitsu-Siemens S7110

I guess, the problem is in xorg, so I've reported it there.

also it looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/283128

[Evgeny Kuznetsov (nekr0z)]

The bug affects me too, as described (Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit on Lenovo 3000 N100), and it definitely IS a duplicate of #283128 and should in my opinion be marked as such.

I have exactly the same bug. Ubuntu 9.04 (GNOME).
