Only tried with lightdm. There is no way to change the keyboard layout on the logon screen and there is no direct indication of the current layout.
This is a regression from the blueprint from Matt Zimmerman which dates back from 2005 : https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/gdm-keyboard-layout As of Ubuntu 5.10, the initial keyboard layout used before login is part of the X.org configuration file, and cannot be adjusted by the user until after login. This is problematic because: The user may not be able to login if the layout is incorrect The X keyboard layout is currently "guessed" from the console layout chosen in the installer, and this process is known to be imperfect Different users may require different keyboard layouts This requires that the keyboard layout be asked for ahead of time on the live CD, which is inconvenient for the user -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877671 Title: Logon screen - language switch trouble To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/877671/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
