Bug ID: 513341
Summary: Keyboard layout (Japanese) is not persisted after
reboot/logout in Plasma Wayland session, constantly
resetting to English (US). (Affects KCM/Keyboard)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: Keyboard Layout widget

SUMMARY
Keyboard layout (Japanese) is not persisted after reboot/logout in Plasma
Wayland session, constantly resetting to English (US). (Affects KCM/Keyboard)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the system-wide keyboard layout to Japanese (`XKBLAYOUT="jp"`) in
`/etc/default/keyboard`.
2. In KDE System Settings > Keyboard > Layouts, ensure "Japanese (OADG 109A)"
is selected/active.
3. Log out or reboot the system.
4. Log back into the Plasma (Wayland) session.
5. Check the keyboard layout in KDE System Settings.
OBSERVED RESULT
The system consistently reverts the keyboard layout back to "English (US)".
The user-specific configuration file (`~/.config/kcminputrc`) is found to be
empty after the reset, even after manually writing the configuration.
(This indicates the system fails to persist the KCM/Keyboard settings.)
EXPECTED RESULT
The keyboard layout "Japanese (OADG 109A)" should be persisted and active after
logging back into the session, respecting both `/etc/default/keyboard` and user
settings.
