2016-05-12 09:08:15 Martin Pitt description With Ubuntu MATE 16.04, I'm unable to switch between keyboard layouts properly. My locale is LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE=el. The Ubuntu MATE installer correctly made those settings for me: $ grep -i xkboptions /etc/default/keyboard XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" I.e. I should be able to switch between the US and the Greek keyboard layout using Alt+Shift, and the keyboard scroll led indicates the active language. Unfortunately ubuntu-mate-default-settings overrides the correct settings, making me unable to switch languages via Alt+Shift: $ grep -i xkboptions /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf Option "XKbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp" So, please make sure that 90-zap.conf *adds* "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp" to the current xkboptions, instead of *replacing* them. If it's unable to add instead of replacing settings, then please completely remove 90-zap.conf. With Ubuntu MATE 16.04, I'm unable to switch between keyboard layouts properly. My locale is LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE=el.

If it's unable to add instead of replacing settings, then please completely remove 90-zap.conf. [Impact] * Ubuntu MATE included the ability to kill the X server using Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc over a year ago while the initial Compiz integration was being added. That facility is a hangover and no longer required. * This updated version of Ubuntu MATE Settings removes usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf and restores the ability to switch keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift. [Test Cases] * Install Ubuntu MATE 16.04 using Greek language and locale and US language. You will be unable to switch between the US and the Greek keyboard layout using Alt+Shift. * Once Ubuntu MATE Settings 16.04.5.1 is installed it will be possible to switch between keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift. [Regression Potential] * The ability to kill the X session using Ctrl+Alt+BkSpc will be lost. But none of the other Ubuntu flavours support this functionality and it's removal restore the default Xorg behaviour.
