I'm began to work on ubuntu (and arch) with i3wm, I usually use the US International layout on Windows. I set the keyboard of the default Ubuntu to US(International with dead keys) which works fine, but when I launch ubuntu under i3WM, the keyboard does not appear to have changed...

How can I set the keyboard to US(International with dead keys) with Right-Alt as deadkey ? should I modify anything in the .xinit ?

thanks for your help !

setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl

Just picking up the comment by quixotic, which worked for me, and writing this up as an answer like Elder Geek suggested :)

Another option is to run setxkbmap us\(intl\). You can search through available layouts using man xkeyboard-config.

It needed a reboot, probably because it is a virtual machine.
