Norwegian keyboard mapping doesn't work in 12.04

[Henning Kulander]

After upgrading three different machines from 11.10 to 12.04, all of them have problems with Norwegian keyboard mapping.

I'm using Ubuntu Desktop and lightdm. In the login window, I check that Norwegian keyboard is selected, it's the only option. I log in, try to type Norwegian letters (aelig, oslash aring), but get ';[ instead.

I go into 'Keyboard Layout' in the settings. Norwegian is the only one installed. I add 'English (US)', Norwegian still selected in the system tray, still get ';[. I choose English in the system tray, still ';[. Choose Norwegian again, still ';[.

I remove Norwegian and then add it again. No my system tray indicates 'en', but the menu tells me that Norwegian is selected. I select Norwegian, now the menu indicates 'no' again, and I get æøå! Finally!

The same thing happens with some variations on the other two machines. After a while the machine will fall back to using the wrong mapping again without me doing anything. Then I have to do these steps all over again. Sometimes I have to choose English (US) to get the Norwegian mapping, as the Norwegian mapping is English US. I also tried Norwegian in combination with Swedish, same thing happens here, but the wrong mapping gives me Swedish characters instead of american.

I hope this can be fixed soon!

I am unable to select Norwegian keyboard. It was working in alpha versions of 12.04.
