Title:
LightDM assumes there's only ONE system default layout
Status in Light Display Manager:
New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In Greece, the default system layout is "us,gr":
$ grep XKBLAYOUT /etc/default/keyboard
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
For new users that don't have .dmrc or accountsservice entries and are
supposed to get the system defaults, LightDM assumes their keyboard layout is
"us".
So they can't switch languages in the greeter and they can't input national
characters until they login, go to gnome settings and manually set the keyboard
layout.
A similar bug was
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/919200, but
that was only solved for the single-layout case.
