In previous ubuntu versions, during the installation process, I selected English language and the latin american keyboard layout. When installing i3, it worked as expected.

On 22.04:

  • When using the default desktop environment (Gnome 42, I believe), it works as intended.
  • [This is the problem] When using i3, the keyboard changes from spanish (latin american) to english and I haven't figured out how to change

Here is the locale output, in case it helps.

➜ % locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_NAME=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

All locales are available, any suggestions on what's going on here or how to fix it?

Reconfigure your keyboard at a deeper level with the command

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout

That will preserve the configuration in the Ubuntu desktop, which has its own configuration layer for the keyboard layout.

    I couldn't find the keyboard-layout package, based on this suggestion I tried: 
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

    but it had no effect neither in current session nor after a reboot.

  • Also, I tried this suggestion but after comparing the files, the /etc/default/keyboard in my 20.04 host machine (working as intended) has the same contents as the file in the 22.04 VB guest machine (not working as intended). – userzc May 07 '22 at 05:13
