I have Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 installed on my machine with my system set to UK. When I run the r command via ALT + F2 to reset the shell, the keyboard layout changes to US even though my system's language, formats and input sources is set to UK. How do I prevent my system from going to US when I execute the 'r' command?

Probably the effect of these two bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-keyboard/+bug/1240198 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272.

It is (still!) not fixed. There are a couple of workarounds: Keyboard layout switches to English each time I reboot and Keyboard keeps defaulting to wrong layout you can try.

Quoting the proposed workaround, from Martin Jurča:

  1. open terminal
  2. run ibus-setup
  3. open the Advanced settings (the last tab)
  4. check the "use system keyboard layout" checkbox

Example of ibus-setup setting
