2020-10-17 15:37:10 Luzius Thöny description After upgrading to the pre-release version of Ubuntu 20.10 (groovy) today, I noticed that the setting for XKBVARIANT in /etc/default/keyboard is not respected anymore. In my case, I have set XKBVARIANT="altgr-gmc" in that file, but the variant is not loaded after a fresh boot: lou@onyx:~$ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us If I set it manually, then it works: lou@onyx:~$ setxkbmap us -variant altgr-gmc lou@onyx:~$ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us variant: altgr-gmc But this lasts only until the next reboot.
