[Bug 1330960] [NEW] [REGRESSION 14.04] keyboard configuration systematically wrong after every boot

[Teo]

Public bug reported:

I have a spanish keyboard correctly configured as a spanish keyboard.
It's the only keyboard configuration I have.
On the upper right corner of the screen there's an indicator that reads "Es", and if I click it, "Spanish" is the only option and it is selected. All this is as expected.

This applies to both the laptop's built-in keyboard and an external usb
keyboard that I always keep connected (together with an external screen)
when my laptop is at home on my desktop.

SINCE THE UPGRATE TO 14.04, every time I boot, both keyboards start
behaving as if they were US english keyboards.

If I click on the Es indicator mentioned above, where "Spanish" already
appears as selected, and I re-select it, it fixes the issue.

Also, for the external keyboard, another workaround that works is to
unplug and replug the keyboard. After that, the keyboard works as
expected as a Spanish keyboard.


Please don't tell me to update the bios, because this worked before on the same machine until recently. It broke with some update, most probably with the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.


P.S. I ran "ubuntu-bug keyboard-configuration", I don't know why "console-setup" got selected instead.
I'm not sure what package the issue belongs to, anyway.
