[Bug 995715] Re: X defaulting keyboard locale to US at login by a keyboard paired with Logitech Unifying Receiver
Oh, after editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf like told in comment #23, I
was unable to get login screen after boot in Xubuntu 15.10. At least I
got login screen after I removed the (otherwise nonexisting) file.
** Description changed:
- Note: A way to circumvent this bug - at least for the login screen when using LightDM - is to add:
- display-setup-script=setxkbmap <layout> <variant>
- In /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
-

- After upgrading Kubuntu Oneiric to Precise, X locale is defaulted to en_US regardless of system-wide and user-specific options.

I found out about this issue when I tried to login via the KDM greeter
and it was not recognizing my password. I got pam authentication
failures in the auth.log, but authorizations files were just fine. In
fact, I could login from the console and within KDE itself. When I tried
typing into the KDM username box, I found out that special characters
were not corresponding to my it_IT layout. My password was including the
special character @ that was typed as ; thus not accepting my password.
I worked this around by changing password to not include any special
character.
I installed LightDM and the problem persisted, so I thought about an
evdev bug.
I posted this issue on the Kubuntu Forums at first, where you can find
more information and logs [
http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58623-Can-t-login-via-KDM-
after-upgrading-to-Precise ].
Recently, German users were experiencing the same problem [
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/kein-login-in-kdm-nach-upgrade/ ]
where I found out that the only thing in common is a wireless keyboard.
I bought a Logitech K800 (which uses a Unifying Receiver) when I was
running Oneiric, making this the first time I upgraded a distribution
while a wireless keyboard is connected. If that happens to be the
problem, it could mean that my keyboard locale was not recognized during
the upgrade process.
I'm attaching some configuration files and logs, please tell me if you
need more information.
