bug 1725676 is about not being able to select a different keyboard layout while this is about being able to select a different layout, but it not actually working. It's unrelated.
bug 1652618 sounds similar, but the solution makes it seem to be different. I went in and changed the settings to ensure both Qwerty and Dvorak are options on the login screen, but switching between the layouts seems to have no affect and always remains the default one. bug 1566357 seems to be about a particular layout that's non-English... I'm using Qwerty and Dvorak which are both English layouts. My issue is also not about a layout not working, but that it's not switching to it. I change the selector to "Dvorak", but I still have to type as if it's "Qwerty" for my password to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813304 Title: keyboard layout doesn't properly change on login screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I was using 16.04 with Dvorak and US-Qwerty keyboard layouts and was able to utilize both on the login screen. My default layout was Dvorak (defined in /etc/default/keyboard). When I upgraded to 18.04 the login became Dvorak only, but after some searching I found the appropriate setting to add more keyboard layouts to the login screen. I changed it by adding US-Qwerty as the default and Dvorak as the second option. When I try to use the login screen, the default layout is Qwerty and there's a "en1" icon at the top right that allows me to select a different keyboard layout. However, when I change it to Dvorak it appears to do nothing because it only accepts my password if I assume the layout is Qwerty. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.shell' b'app-picker-view' b'uint32 1' b'org.gnome.shell' b'favorite-apps' redacted by apport b'org.gnome.desktop.interface' b'gtk-im-module' b"'ibus'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-11-17 (2629 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) Package: gnome-shell 3.28.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-43.46-generic 4.15.18 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-43-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2019-01-10 (18 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout docker lpadmin plugdev sambashare _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1813304/+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
