[Bug 1240198] Re: [SRU]Wrong keyboard layout active after booting into desktop

 

According to the previous comments, the fix for Trusty is apparently not working.
So the verification-done tag should probably be replaced by verification-failed!

I had tested the fix in a virtual machine, but I noticed that use-system-keyboard-layout was still false after installing it (reported by ibus-setup and gsettings).
As I commented in the merge request (https://code.launchpad.net/~brunonova/ubuntu/trusty/ibus/lp1240198/+merge/241742), the line I added to "debian/ibus.install" is missing from the fix. That line installs the file gschema override that sets use-system-keyboard-layout=true.
If the fix is indeed not working, this is probably the reason why it's failing.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When first boot into Unity desktop, English keyboard layout is active
  while all other parts of the system language settings are set to
  another language (e.g. German).

  The bug is properly addressed in newer upstream releases in Vivid, but
  the changes is too intrusive and not suitable for being back ported in
  SRU. And changing the default to use system keyboard layout solves the
  problem.

  [Test Case]

  1. Set the system language to something other than English, e.g. German.
  2. Create a new user, log in to the Unity desktop of the new user.
  3. Check the keyboard layout, it should be German instead of English.

  [Regression Potential]

  Since this changes the default value of the keyboard layout settings
  by using system defined as default, it avoids using ibus's built-in
  keyboard layout related functionality, so that this could be a
  regression for users rely on this certain behavior (e.g. use English
  keyboard while want to keep the system language settings to German),
  but such behavior is not expected for normal usage.
