Ubuntu :: Keyboard Settings Won't Stay After Reboot?
Mar 19, 2010
I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 in Acer Aspire One together with Windows XP (both on different partitions). The trouble since installing Ubuntu has been that my keyboard has scandinavic layout which includes "" and "" keys. When I assign the layout in Ubuntu's as "FI" instead of "USA" everything is fine. After reboot for some reason the changes made won't stay and I have to change the keyboard layout manually. If I remove "USA" from the list after reboot it'll appear to the list again!
I've tried to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the keyboard configuration code, but it has no effect for the situation. I've tried also command:
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup This has no effect also.
I'm starting to be frustrated for the situation. I really enjoy using Ubuntu instead of XP but this just doesn't make sense that the keyboard layout won't stay on.

I am running a debian squeeze machine on a ibm t40 laptop with window maker as my window manager. I am using gpointing-device-settings as a program to get the scroll bar on my touch pad working. unfortunately, I can't get the settings to stick after i shutdown and turn on. I have to go into the program and unclick then reclick the button. i'm using version 1.3.2 (ive tried both deb and source versions). does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? and if there is any configure files that I could configure instead of having to use the gui program.

I'm using Nvidia's driver from their website and Kubuntu 8.04. I tried Debian 5.04 kde on the same computer and the resolution stays. Of course I prefer kubuntu. After shutdown the video resolution goes back to 1024x768 but I want 1280x800 instead. I have a Dell IN191ON lcd widescreen monitor and geforce fx 5200 video card. I'm using the latest video driver from Nvidia for this card version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.25-pkg1.run.
Here is my xorg.conf.
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder75) Wed Jan 27 03:03:53 PST 2010

I have a project with a small device which is running xubuntu. Running DHCP all works fine, but we are sending this out to a client who gave us some specific IP settings.There is nothing GUI wise, which is nothing tragic, so I updated the interfaces file with the static info as well as the /etc/resolv.conf file and rebooted. The static info worked but had no DNS, and all that was in that file was;#SETUP by Network Manager (or something close as I am not at the office).
You can run via cli NetworkManager but does nothing. I installed I think it was called KNetworkManager which is a GUI to the app, but when started it shows the eth0 device as in use so I am assuming something else is managing.So basically how can I get the DNS settings to stay either cli or gui..

This is something that I started to notice in F12 and it appears to be the case as well in F13. Any changes that I make to my desktop wallpaper in Gnome don't stay in effect after a reboot. Any ideas as to what is going on here? I don't mind the default blue swirly thing in F13, but I at least want the style change from scale to center to stick.
Choosing the 'set as default' option doesn't seem to help either, as that changes the screen you see at the Gnome login. Once I log into my account the default desktop wallpaper is still there.

The CPU frequency scaling monitor won't stay at 800mhz after reboot or a certain period of time. My goal is to always have my dual core CPU locked at 800mhz to have it run cooler. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my toshiba u300 laptop.

I noticed that every time I reboot some system settings sort of roll-back automatically to some time in the past.
So far I noticed these:
-All the aMule setting. Includes connection ports and Incoming folder, very annoying.
-Firefox search box engines. every reboot the list of engines rolls back to include a lot of engines i don't want and have to remove every time. this is the only thing in Firefox that is affected, bookmarks and add-ons stick.
-Keyboard layouts. Tried clicking "apply system-wide". still rolls-back after reboot.
What could cause this? How can I set these things permanently?
I'm using ubuntu 9.10 32-bit

I installed Kubuntu on my Toshiba A135 with no problems at all...everything works: sound, wifi, LAN, etc...BUT whenever I reboot/restart the computer my Display and Audio settings revert back to default, and it doesn't happen when I log out, just when I restart/shutdown the computer. I have an Intel 945GM chipset and I have set my external Acer 23" monitor as the default and only monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz using KDE's System Settings...And I chose to disable the laptop's internal monitor...but whenever I restart, the display returns to a 1024x800 cloned resolution (the default one)...which by the way looks hideous on a 23" monitor. And also the sound mixer goes back to the default levels.
So, can anyone help me out? I've been using Ubuntu for over 3 years and I've never had any problems like this one. I have just fell in love with Kubuntu, it looks and runs great, but this problem/bug is keeping me from being comfortable with it... I've been reading some things about XRandr and some commands and stuff and nothing have worked until now. I wonder, is it a common bug in Kubuntu or maybe an erroneous setting in the session manager....?

I am a newbie and loving Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I have my cube working great with all the associated effects yet after about 20 minutes or so, the cube options are all unchecked and I no longer have the cube. What could be causing this? Initially I thought it was only after reboot but I left the house today for 20 minutes and when I came back I had no box and sure enough the cube options were unchecked.

I know this has been covered before but I can't find a resolution to the issue. Kubuntu simply refuses to save the screen settings, and each time I reboot it returns to 1440 x 900. The correct resolution should be 1920 x 1080.
KRandr shows 1440x900 (auto) in its drop down Size field. I've set krandr to load on startup so that I can set the correct resolution but of course this means I have to set the panel size as well. I've only recently installed KUbuntu and it's great except for this issue. Surely there must be a simple fix? I'm not a noobie and have about 4 years experience on Ubuntu / openSuse etc.

As said in the subject, desktop decoration settings keeps resetting after rebooting. For me it is quite boring and annoying. Why it happens? Ubuntu should keeps my preferences (as in previous versions - my Ubu 10.10, Unity)

My system (Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome Desktop) keeps 'forgetting' my sound settings. every day I have to go into sound preferences and select a different hardware device setting and then change it back to the right one in order for it to work. For instance my sound goes out of my onboard intel based sound via optical to my amp and so the hardware setting for this is IEC598 output + analog stereo input But everytime I boot their is no sound (and hence no light coming through the optical cable) so then I'll change it to Analog surround and the light comes out so then I can change it back to the 1st setting and it works again. Hope that makes sense, I have had this problem and also my video settings have been 'forgotten' and samba also won't work ever since about 4 days ago when the system updated, everything was working fine before that (i have run update manager since and everything is up to date)

I have just upgraded to Lucid Lynx. Just after that the borders of disappeared. Anyway, I found out I can get them back if I enable Standard Visual effects from the appearance menu. The only problem ?i have is that the options don't get saved and I need to do this over again every time I reboot.

I'm Using the latest Kubuntu 10.10 with the default network manager -- which I think it's called Knetwork manager.
I have set up a static IP by adding a new connection using this manager and then clicking it so that it is used to connect. But as soon as there is a computer reboot the connection falls back to the original autoeth0 which has dynamic IP on and which I cannot change or delete.

So I have a fresh updated install of 10.10 on dell dimension 4550
The pc connects to my monitor through a dlink KVM switch so I can switch back and forth between computers.
When I reboot my monitor settings disapear and everything is real real large.
If i disconnect from the KVM and connect Ubuntu directly to the monitor and detect monitor it will allow me to adjust settings so everything looks normal. Until I reboot and I am back to the same huge icons again. If I try to go back and adjust monitor settings there are only 2 settings options because it does not see my monitor through the kvm switch again.

I'm having a problem with the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental, I bought a new monitor, Samsung 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor (B2430H) and my old monitor was a 24 inch too but with a different native resolution, my new monitors native resolution is 1680x1050 and I try to change the settings in the system settings/ display/ size&orientation area since the mesa drivers don't have a xorg.conf but my settings don't save after a reboot. Is there a config file for the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental where I can change these settings?

I have installed Lucid in a new laptop. Things are running OK except for the following problem:
I connect to the network/Internet using Wired ethernet (TCP/IP) with static IP. Everytime I reboot/restart my network configurations are lost and I have to re-configure. I have googled this problem and have seen a few posts/bugs in launchpad etc. for what appears to be the same issue...but unfortunately I am not getting a clear solution to this problem.
Just for clarity, I am using the following commands to re-configure my network everytime:
Also note that I have already tried editing the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. But it seems that these are not being picked or are being overridden.

I turned down my txpower with the command: sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 3 Which works to fine turn down my broadcast power from the default value of 15 dBm to 3 dBm. But it is reset every time I restart Ubuntu 11.04 to the default value of 15 dBm. How do I save my modified txpower settings so they don't reset after a restart? It is really annoying having to re-enter the command every time I reboot my computer!

Initially, Debian detected my M-Audio soundcard right off, and things were going great, until I tried to get a Logitech webcam working. Got video going, but no audio, so I installed cheese, alsa-base and alsa-utils, and played around with settings according to copious forum threads dedicated to the problem of Linux and webcams, all to no avail. Then I had NO SOUND, until I did a alsa-conf, which detected and (re)set my M-Audio card, until reboot, then again, NO SOUND. Settings were not saving through reboot.
So I purge removed alsa-base and alsa-utils, hoping that things would magically revert to pre-webcam experiment. Still no sound. I have given up on the webcam idea; I'll use my XP Pro laptop for that. But I need sound on this Linux box. Oh and when I'm playing ....., etc. the soundcard itself is making chatter noises to the beat of the music. This soundcard was working perfectly before I started the webcam debacle, so it's not a hardware issue.

i just setup the sensors to use with conky. I do this by issuing the following:
Code:
sensors-detect
and
Code:
chkconfig -l lm_sensors
lm_sensors 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
reveals that the daemon is setup to start in the particular runlevel.
[Code]....
my investigation has pointed me to the the problem that sensors is useing /etc/sensors3.conf and not /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors as it should be.

I'm running PCLinuxOS 2010.07 (KDE) on my Acer laptop with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I have an external Acer monitor that displays at 1920*1080. I have selected my laptops internal screen to be disabled and use the external screen. The PC LinuxOS Control Centre selected the 'Intel later than 810 driver'. All works well whilst I'm using my system but when I turn off and reboot the settings are lost and I have a 1280*800 display on my laptop and the same on my external screen. Resetting the Display using Configure your Desktop allows me to reset the external monitors to my preferences but how can I make theses settings permanent?

I am using a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 installation with english-only language but with a German keyboard.
So, once booted into my (only) account, I use the Keyboard Preferences app to change my Layout from US to German. Which works. I also remove the US keyboard so that the only layout left is German.
But upon a reboot, not only the US kbd is back in the layouts list, but the kbd also has defaulted back to US, so that I have to open the Kbd Prefs to again remove the US layout to get my German layout active again.
I also tried "Apply System-wide" and even logged in as root to make the same changes, but the system always goes back to US layout after a reboot.
This is also a problem when logging in after a reboot - I want the system to use German layout there, too.
So, how do I change the layout globally so that even at the login page I have my German layout already active?

I have a Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo and am running Ubuntu 10.04. The mouse was easy to set up. I just went to the bluetooth icon and clicked add new device and it connected. The same wasn't true for the keyboard. It gives me the code to type so I typed it and pressed enter and... nothing. So I found a little tutorial and I had to install bluez and type in the terminal, "sudo hidd --search" then enter my password (which I needed to grab my other keyboard to do) and it connected. If I don't use it for a while or reboot, the keyboard will not connect. I have to do the hidd search again which means I need to keep my extra keyboard handy. I had it set up before where it would connect on a reboot, but I got a new hard drive and reinstalled Ubuntu, now I can't remember how I set it up. Could I have set up bluez wrong?

I recently changed my keyboard layout to US International so I could learn to type in French, but after that, I wanted to switch it back to plain old US default (or whatever it's called...) I went back in and changed it the same way I did the first time, and it works fine until I shut down the computer. When I log back in after booting up the computer, the keyboard layout resets itself to US Int. again. I've tried deleting it from the list, moving it down, applying normal US to the entire system, and resetting the keyboard layout to it's default state, and yet it still resets itself. Anyone know what's up? I'm running Lucid on an HP Pavilion notebook.
