Can't switch layout.

Thu Sep 21, 2017 8:51 am
Greetings!

My problem is that I can't switch keyboard layout nor by the hotkey nor by clicking layout indicator.
However, I can switch layout using command "setxkbmap ru" or "setxkbmap us". Nothing happens when I hit alt+shift. ctl+alt+k gives square window for a second with 'ru' writing. Moreover layout indicator shows me ru, but de-facto layout is us. Also, switching layout work good in cinnamon. I also have system-wide settings in
Code: Select all
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "ru,en"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option "XkbVariant" ",dvorak"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection


What can be wrong here? Where I can dig deeper?

Update: strange, if I login as root in terminal emulator and execute
Code: Select all
setxkbmap us && setxkbmap ru
switching start to work.

Here is my input method settings and system setup. I also have cinnamon and lxde and fvwm installed.
