[Bug 990214] Re: Wrong keyboard layout by graphical login

 

Additional info:

1. At login screen, no way to choose a keyboard layout.

2. At screen-unlocker (activating after screen has been locked for a
while):

   a) There is a small window with "en" in it, even though the system has been set up to show a country flag (U.S. in this case).
   b) Switching to different layouts is possible, I can tell because one of my layouts is right-to-left, and when I switch to it via keyboard shortcuts, the cursor jumps to the right of the password box -- HOWEVER, the language indicator (the box with "en" in it) does not reflect the change at all, stays on "en"

Title:
  Wrong keyboard layout by graphical login

Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have installed a new xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) on an empty system.
  My home directory is encrypted (checkbox by install). 
  The text console (F1, F2, F3... ) uses the german keyboard layout (correct).
  The lightdm 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 uses an english keyboard (maybe us) and there is no chooser.
  I also tried xdm 1:1.1.11-1ubuntu1 with the same result.

  
  /etc/default/keyboard
  XKBMODEL="pc105"
  XKBLAYOUT="de"
  XKBVARIANT=""
  XKBOPTIONS=""
  BACKSPACE="guess"

  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
  [SeatDefaults]
  greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
  user-session=xubuntu
  allow-guest=false
  [default-display]
  language=de_DE.utf8
  layout=de

  ~/.dmrc (but encrypted...)
  Language=de_DE.utf8
  Layout=de
  Session=xubuntu
