Comment 11 for bug 460328

I am having the same problem with a clean installation of 9.10 in Greek.
I used the workaround mentioned here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/401497/comments/20
(I think that bug #460328 and bug 401497 should be marked as duplicates).

For the record, here are some results from my installation:
Faulty setup:
grep X /etc/default/console-setup

# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch"

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts

[us\,gr \,]

Correct setup:
grep X /etc/default/console-setup

# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch"

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts
