I just installed ubuntu 11.10 in my new computer, the old one (still main computer) is ubuntu 10.04. Both PCs use "Spanish LAm" keyboard layout, the only difference is that the new PC keyboard has some multimedia keys but the configs are the same and the work well each one on each PC.

But when I use synergy to use the main keyboard in the client PC (11.10), the keyboard layout seems to be the "Enlglish (US)" layout, or other but not "Spanish LAm", while settings on both PCs remain as "Spanish LAm". The other keyboard connected by cable to the client PC does work well with the spanish layout even when using synergy.

Any idea how to fix this?

I removed 11.10 and installed 11.04, I don't have the problem with this version. – Uoplem Dec 26 '11 at 16:59

  1. Search for "Keyboard Layout" and open it.

  2. Use the plus sign on the bottom left of the screen to add the keyboard layout "English(US)".

  3. Restart synergy

This worked for me. (Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit)

I have the same problem in 12.04, though with Norwegian keymap and Windows 7 on the server side. It used to work flawlessly for me in 11.10 with the same setup. The suggestion in this answer does not work for me. – Lars Haugseth Apr 10 at 19:05
