Keyboard layout changes on logout/login in 18.10. How to prevent?












0















I have attached a new keyboard in UK layout to a 18.10 computer. Previous keyboard layout was German.



I can add the new keyboard layout in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources. Clicking on the [+] plus button lets me choose English (United Kingdom) -> English (UK) -> Add. Now I can activate the keyboard layout in the layout chooser clicking on "en", and it works:




  • Shift + 2 produces @

  • Shift + 3 produces #


This matches the symbols on the physical keyboard. But the next time I log in, although "en" is still selected,




  • Shift + 2 produces "

  • Shift + 3 produces £


I understand that this is the English (US) layout instead of (UK). Switching temporarily to "de" layout and back to "en" does not help.



The only thing that I have found helps is to open Settings again, delete the
English (UK) entry, add it again, then select "en" again from the keyboard layout chooser.



How can I prevent this from happening?



This is ubuntu 18.10 with the default desktop. Initial installation on this computer was with Ubuntu 17.10, and it has since seen upgrades to 18.04 and then to 18.10.

          What finally worked was to select the Keyboard layout Endlish (United Kingdom) with the subtype English (Australian). In the keyboard layout chooser, this is now displayed as just English (Australian).
