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?

Try installing the dconf-editor and check the settings under org/gnome/desktop/input-sources. There you'll see the xkb-options and you can change them permanently.

  • Thank you. After 3 months someone finally tells me what I've been so fruitlessly searching for! Now I have no idea where the problem came from, but in fact doing what you said solves the problem. Jan 30, 2014 at 20:51
