I'm not quite sure about the history, but it strikes me that there may be some misconceptions floating around in the above discussion.
On my Ubuntu 16.10 I * removed all keyboard layout related user settings, * set XKBLAYOUT="se" in /etc/default/keyboard, and * rebooted. The resulting effective layout on lightdm-gtk-greeter was Swedish as expected. Please note that the language chooser shown by default in lightdm-gtk- greeter is about setting the session's display language, and has nothing to do with keyboard layouts. You can enable a keyboard layout switcher; please see <http://askubuntu.com/q/821017> including the comments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of LightDM Gtk+ Greeter Development Team, which is subscribed to lightdm-gtk- greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990214 Title: Wrong keyboard layout by graphical login Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter: Triaged Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have installed a new xubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) on an empty system. My home directory is encrypted (checkbox by install). The text console (F1, F2, F3... ) uses the german keyboard layout (correct). The lightdm 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 uses an english keyboard (maybe us) and there is no chooser. I also tried xdm 1:1.1.11-1ubuntu1 with the same result. /etc/default/keyboard XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="de" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" BACKSPACE="guess" /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter user-session=xubuntu allow-guest=false [default-display] language=de_DE.utf8 layout=de ~/.dmrc (but encrypted...)
