This bug seems still to be present in Xubuntu 20.04 To be able to switch keyboard layouts after reboot (or logout), I need to go to keyboard settings, change the keyboard layout switch key to something else (and then back again, though that's not absolutely necessary).
It's not so bad on my main machine, because that tends to be left running for days at a time, but on a laptop I imagine it would be really frustrating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxklavier in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805197 Title: cannot switching keyboard layout with xfce4-keyboard-settings Status in Xfce4 Settings: Confirmed Status in libxklavier package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xfce4-settings package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is on xubuntu 18.04: With xfce4-keyboard-settings I have loaded the keyboard layouts "English (US)" and "German". Both are listed in the "Keybord layout" table. When I change the order with [key up] or [key down] nothing happens, I still have the old keyboard layout active. To switch the layout I have to DELETE the other one! This was not the case with xubuntu 16.04: just changing the order was sufficent there.
