This issue hasn't been mentioned.
Investigating further, using this script listed here
was able to fix the issue on Ubuntu 17.04 but on 17.10 I get this error in the TERminal
Could not load keyboard geometry for :0
BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Resulting keymap file will not describe geometry
Can't find a single workaround online for 17.10, and it's frustrating because the OS is almost unusable as, obviously, typing is a major part of using the computer. SHift is not an option at the moment.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards.
Edit: After thorough investigation, the issue lies in the standard input stream, stdin. NOT REPRODUCIBLE in recovery mode, the .sh fix works fine.
Will continue to look through shortly.
Edit: After FURTHER analysis, the script in the first link appears to work on some distros, and using the startup application and chmod +x'ing it I was able to execute it upon multiple reboots, Others such as standard Ubuntu have a kernel patch, which I don't know how to implement
Any distro that's based off Gnome, the script works successfully, others tested under my scope were Lubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie.
