I've very recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 (on a Dell Latitude 640M with XP Professional in a separate partition) and the two symbols @ and " have swapped positions on the keyboard (I chose UK language setup). I have a full size separate Logitech keyboard, and the swapped key fault also occurs on my laptop keyboard.

I tried two fixes suggested in another post: ibus-setup and dconf tool. Ticking the recommended box in the ibus setup didn't have any effect. When I opened the dconf Editor it didn't seem to work as no options come up when I click on any menu items. I tried reinstalling (using Synaptic Device manager) but no change.

Thanks for any help. Finding my way around Ubuntu is a steep learning curve.

Had the same problem - I removed US keyboard as an option even though UK was chosen first in list, just leaving the UK keyboard, and it reverted back to how it should be. Hope that helps!

Try to change the Language to English(US) using the En indicator on the top bar. This indicator may show different letters based on the Language selected, For example RU for Russian etc.
