Keyboard layout configuration set back to EN_US after boot (Ubuntu 14.04)

[John Wayne]

I set the keyboard layout configuration to TR (Turkish).

However after each boot, the configuration is switched back to EN_US, even though the screen keyboard indicator seems to be the selected/desired default, that is TR. When the indicator is reset to TR on the screen, it works normally.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04, 32-bit
Keyboard: Logitech K360 Turkish

I am also affected from this bug, using 13.10 (saucy).
I think this bug is a possible duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1261639
Also there seam to be a lot more people affected:

[jango (pjalegria)]

A couple people have reported that the problem is fixed if you go to the Ubuntu Software Center and uninstall IBus. It worked for me too.

Source: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1240198

[Frederic alias Coos (mail-coos)]

I tried uninstalling IBus but when I did I lost most of my System Settings and after reinstalling ibus my system settings where restored but so was the keyboard problem...

[Poloh (el-poloh)]

ibus is installed by defaut on my 14.04 fresh install.

I solved that issue running sudo ibus-setup and configuring the correct keyboard layout...

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.
