I'm changing the status from "Fix Released" to "Triaged", since the
problem still exists, lightdm assumes that systems only have one default
keyboard layout, while there are many countries that need two (e.g.
"us,gr").
Please do fix that, it's a very serious problem affecting thousands of
users which cannot use their native language until they open gnome
settings and manually add the correct keyboard layout (if they know how
to do so). Even in Ubiquity, they can't type their real name, they have
to install the system in English first and go through all the hoops to
change the system default language, their username etc later.
** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Triaged

Title:
Doesn't know system default layout/variant
Status in Light Display Manager:
Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
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.
