keyboard layout shortcuts dont work with automatic login enabled 8.04

[gtsit]

In Ubuntu 8.04 version
When the automatic login is enabled the keyboard layout shortcuts dont work after reboot. So I cant switch between EN and GR.
If i disable automatic login everything works perfect.

Thank you

I see this bug too. I use automatic login and can't switch between swedish and english keyboard. Only if I log out and back in again can I switch keyboard. No such problems were in the 7.10 release.

I got the same problem.

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
 Driver "kbd"
 Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
 Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
 Option "XkbLayout" "cz,us"
 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

The fix is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/196277

Adding "setxkbmap" to gnome session helped me.

Does the fix suggested by c4pp4 help?

[Henrik Harmsen (henrik-harmsen)]

The fix suggested by c4pp4 did help. I added this to InputDevice:
 Option "XkbLayout" "se,us"
 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

Then it seems to work. However I don't know if I can now edit the keyboard layouts in the GUI.

I have not tried the setxkbmap fix.
