The feature I care about is "choose the keyboard layout" this feature is something that I normally use I have laptop with the keyboard layout in english but I often connect a usb keyboard which layout is in spanish. I know is a specific case but I know many people that is in the same case cause their laptops came from a foreign land.

It is definitely not a good idea to replace gdm with lightdm. lightdm is not light, it is insufficient. regards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: lightdm 0.9.3-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-7.9-generic 3.0.0 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-7-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Aug 24 12:15:51 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110802.1) ProcEnviron: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/832657/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
