I believe this bug still exists.
When lightdm starts and before I log in, it sets my layout to:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
With `xinit xterm`, I correctly get my system defaults, which are:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+us+gr:2+inet(evdev)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
This results in (at least) all Greek users having a broken keyboard layout by
default, except for the one created by ubiquity.
Note that "us,gr" is necessary for Greek users to type both Greek and English
characters, we do have to use 2 layouts, so taking only the first one is
incorrect.
My /etc/default/keyboard contains:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

Title:
Doesn't know system default layout/variant
Status in Light Display Manager:
Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
lightdm_get_layout does not return the correct system default keyboard
layout/variant.
For that, pitti says we need to access
xkl_config->layouts[0]/xkl_config->variants[0].
Currently, we just grab the first layout returned from
xkl_config_registry_foreach_layout, which only returns the available
layouts, not the configured layouts. So "us" will always be first
there.
