Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. I have changed this report to associate a better package so was associated to xserver-xorg-input-keyboard

Regards

Also posted this to: Bug #290644 -- not sure if 290644 is a duplicate of this bug.

I am seeing this same bug. Plugging in a USB keyboard causes my USA -> RUS to change to USA -> ??.

Going into keyboard preferences and deleting Russian and re-adding it while the USB keyboard will allow it to work until the the next time the external keyboard is re-attached. My keyboard settings are not affected by suspend/resume.

BTW, I don't have the problem for some time after some package update (unfortunately I don't know what package that was).

I am behind on updates. Bandwidth is problematic in Tajikistan. Will update after my system is up to date.

Could you be more specific; what do you have to do to get it working?
