Cannot permanently switch to US keyboard layout

[thelynx]

Hi there,

I'm running E19 on Sparky and just installed a new keyboard on my Lenovo T420. Before I had a UK keyboard, but now I have US keyboard. I've tried deleting the UK keyboard and adding the US keyboard under keyboard settings but that doesn't work, even though it shows the American keyboard as being active and the UK layout isn't there at all. The output of my /etc/default/keyboard is

Code Select Expand

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"


So that shows US, too. The only way I can get the US layout is by manually typing

Code Select Expand

setxkbmap -us in the terminal. I don't really feel like doing that every time I log in.

If anyone can tell me what I'm overlooking here and how I can solve this problem, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance.
