Ubuntu 13.04 unable to set keyboard layout

I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04. When I try to add another keyboard layout (clicking the 'Layout Settings' link in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Typing Tab) the system doesn't respond. Is there another way to add a keyboard layout?

open the terminal, type gnome-control-center then go in Keyboard Layout and click on the small "+" icon in the bottom left. Go back to the terminal and past here any error you read on screen.

I had the following error: *** BUG *** In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug (gnome-control-center:15298): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'com.canonical.indicator.keyboard' is not installed

If by another layout you mean another language's layout then this might help. I've had issues with chinese keyboard. What i did is go to settings, Language Support, and click install/remove languages button, which brings up menu for desired language. Click apply changes, wait till it all loads, and reboot. As for other suggestions, you could try couple configuration managers, which can be downloaded in Software Center. Just search for keyboard or text input

It seems you have a corrupted configuration file. I'd start by reinstalling the gnome control center, that may fix the problem automatically

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center

If that doesn't work try also to reinstall the desktop schemas

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gsettings-desktop-schemas
