Suddenly my external USB keyboard uses a different keyboard layout and -settings from the one builtin my laptop. The built-in keyboard uses the expected layout, even when the USB one is connected.
E.g. My builtin keyboard uses AltGr dead-keys, as is defined in "settings » Language and Region » Input source". This setting has only one layout listed. Yet, the USB keyboard does suddenly use dead-keys without alt-gr.
Another change, is that I have mapped CAPS to ESC: The built-in keyboard does this right, the external USB does not.
The keyboard and laptops are not new, it worked fine until yesterday. I did not install any kernel modules, drivers or new kernels knowingly.
Running and walking through sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration does not fix the issue.
- Is it possible -at all- to have different connected keyboards to use different layouts in Ubuntu? If so, where is this defined? This might help me troubleshoot further and disable this.
- What could have changed in software that causes this? Should I hunt down bugs, dmesg or /var/log/syslog issues that are indicating some problem?
