A few days ago, before I switched from 13.04 to 13.10, my keyboard started coming up with options ctrl:swapcaps
and japan:nicola_f_bs
.
Not realizing at the time that setxkbmap -option
would temporarily fix the problem, I bought another keyboard which worked the same. File /etc/defaults/keyboard
shows the right settings but it is dated from the day I installed 13.10. So it is not the source of the problem.
How can I find and fix the source of these odd options?
