I'm using archlinux with budgie desktop and gnome-screensaver version 3.6.1
This problem still persists. I can't switch languages in the unlock screen. I have to power down my machine because I'm unable to enter my password. Any help would be appreciated, feel free to ask for whatever steps I need to provide to help with debugging this very annoying issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225514 Title: adding keyboard layouts no longer seems to update xkb correctly Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-screensaver source package in Saucy: Fix Released Bug description: gnome-screensaver ----------------- * Impact: layouts are missing from the unlock screen which might makes difficult to unlock * Test case: Through gnome-control-center, add a few different XKB input sources (e.g., US, French, German, Russian), then lock the screen. Expected results: The lock screen dialog keyboard switching indicator should cycle through all of the XKB (non-IBus) input sources. Actual results: It only allows cycling through at most two XKB layouts, the currently active one, and the US layout. * Regression potential: The changes affect the list from which gnome-screensaver allows cycling, and may affect which layouts are available for unlocking the session. ================= I'm not sure if this is caused by gnome-control-center, or ibus 1.5, but in saucy, adding or modifying the keyboard layouts doesn't seem to properly update xkb any longer. For example, I can have both French (Canada) and English (US) configured, but xkl_config_rec_get_from_server() will only return 'ca' and xkl_engine_get_num_groups() will return 1, instead of 2. I believe this is also causing the keyboard layouts to not appear on the login screen.
