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

 

Sorry,  I guess my bug report is in the wrong section. Is there a way to
move it into the right section? Or shall I create a new bug there?

Title:
  xenial - ubuntu-mate: Wrong keyboard layout after booting into the
  desktop

Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  - 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
