[Bug 1546534] [NEW] xenial - ubuntu-mate: Wrong keyboard layout after booting into the desktop

 

Public bug reported:

- fresh install of ubuntu-mate, 64bit - I tried alpha2 and 20160217
- select "German" and "German keyboard, no dead keys"
- complete the installation
- do a reboot -> graphical login -> password -> desktop

- open a terminal window - ctrl-alt-t -> keyboard layout is english, expected layout is german
- settings - keyboard -> shows "Deutsch - Deutsch (ohne Akzenttasten)" (meaning German keyboard, no dead keys)
- try it within the text box at the lower part of the dialog -> keyboard layout is english
- "add" -> German, no dead keys
- try it again
- layout ok, even within the terminal window
- "delete" one of the keyboards, so you don't see the same entry twice

- logout - login -> wrong layout again

- Finalize the installation of the language support (via "Language Support") -> nothing changes
  After logout - login, the keyboad layout is bad! Changing the setting works within the current session only

WORK AROUND FOR ME:

 - settings - keyboard -> shows "Deutsch - Deutsch (ohne Akzenttasten)" (meaning German keyboard, no dead keys)
- "add" -> English (British)
- keep the 2nd keyboard

- logout - login -> German keyboard layout is active now
