Do keyboard layouts work?

[BearTard]

I'm having trouble with keyboard layouts. My keyboard has keys that don't work anyway, but when I enable layouts and pick the right one (the same one I've used in previous versions of Kubuntu) I lose things like arrow keys and the six keys above the arrows have messed up events (menu on pageup, etc.) Is it just me?

I'm having the same problem getting my Logitech Internet Keyboard layouts to respond. Any help would be great.

Same problem here. Installed keytouch hoping it will work and is shown as installed and my keyboard layout active but still not working.

I have the same problem, which started after adept update this evening. I tried changing layout as suggested here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/255008

No success -I am stuck without arrow keys in BASH/Konsole. They work just fine in recovery mode.

Any ideas to fix this will be appreciated.

And at first I was thinking it might have something to do with being a Tottenham fan

Running command: xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p' - shows that my keyboard layout is correct:

36 Return
111 Up
116 Down
114 Right
113 Left
110 Home
115 End
117 Next
112 Prior
119 Delete
118 Insert
83 KP_Left
80 KP_Up
85 KP_Right
88 KP_Down

But something in X is stopping them form loading in Bash/Konsole (where I need them most). Right now as I am typing in Opera - all arrow and nav keys work fine. Is there any quick way to reinstall bash?

If you open kuser you can set the user's default login shell to /bin/bash.

If it truly is not installed (very odd -- it is part of default Kubuntu) you should be able to install it with

sudo apt-get install bash
