I had the same problem and just solved it.

# # # PROBLEM # # #

After upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy to 8.04 Hardy, the dialog described in the first post was shown when I log in the Ubuntu system.

As a result, I could not configure the keyboard setting (e.g. swap [Ctrl] & [Caps Lock].)

# # # HOW DID I SOLVED IT # # #

As some of them mentioned, first I modified xorg.conf, then reset the keyboard setting.

1 Open xorg.conf
sudo gedit ../../etc/X11/xorg.conf

2 Scratch the line:
# Option "XkbVariant" "106,"

3 Save & close it.

4 [System] -> [Keyboard] -> Tab [Layout]

5 Click [Reset] and apply the default style.

6 Restart the Ubuntu system.
