Ubuntu 12.10 + Gnome 3 = Keyboard Layout Indicator is not working!

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have two keyboard layouts, but keyboard layout indicator is only visible on login screen. After I login to system, I could not see it anymore! My problem is almost the same as following: Question #195194 But, I have the latest release of Gnome Shell, from official Gnome team repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 And other packages have the latest versions as well, so I doubt that this error happens because of a bug. Already tried the instructions mentioned in this thread: Gnome3 keyboard layout icon disappeared Especially the gnome-tweak-tool. Still unable to see (HowTos)

Stories similar to Ubuntu 12.10 + Gnome 3 = Keyboard Layout Indicator is not working!

I installed gnome-shell - for who knows what reason - on Natty, from gnome3 launchpad PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install gnome-shell sudo apt-get install gnome-session

After I realized I made mistake:

ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt-get update

and reverted system to previous state.

Gnome 3 has just released and the gnome3-team ppa only provides packages for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty.

There are a lot of options under Gnome 3.6's Keyboard Layout tool. 1. Load Keyboard Layout  (Super, then type 'Keyboard Layout' ENTER). (Super + Type 'Keyboard Layout' ENTER).2. Click on the Layouts tab.3. Click the Options button (lower right)4.

F12 Gnome keyboard layout 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi,

having problems with my keyboard layout since upgrade from F11 to F12.

When I reboot and login into gnome I have to switch back to my layout as it has been set to USA default layout. How can I fix this?

cheers, tinti

I`ve added two keyboard layout because of i use english as second language Whenever i Logout (ubuntu 12.04 32bit) then Login, Keyboard layout get disappeared and it`s not possible to switch between languages i`ve added before I test that on my brother`s laptop (ubuntu 12.04 64bit) and everything was ok Does anybody know what to do to get rid of this bad issue

I just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS on my server (DELL Intel XEON). By SSH login from my mac (OS X Lion) everything is fine (no issues with command lines) but when I open a window through X11, the keyboard layout is now completely messed up.

I proceeded like described in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188761&highlight=layout&page=4

But when I tried to add this new keyboard layout "Avestan" or any other like "Indisch" or "Tamil" I get this error messages

Fehler beim Aktivieren der XKB-Konfiguration. Dies kann verschiedene Gründe haben.

i have installed 13.04 with Gnome-fallback and gone to keyboard to System-Settings/keyboard/layout settings and picked French and Russian to add to my English default but the icon does not appear on icon-bar so i cannot switch between layouts

Any ideas to make icon appear [that is the priority here] and/or an easy way to switch from commandline maybe?

I seem to be running into an issue when I suspend my laptop. upon suspend my keyboard layout seems to think the right side of my keyboard is like a 10 key. I have had to disable screen lock on resume because I am unable to type my username or password, even switching to a virtual terminal the messed up keyboard layout persists.
