This was also discussed in #801990 and here upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780039 I don't know the root cause. But it's not really specific to live-config. Except that it's far more visible on live images since you always start with a fresh $HOME. > The fact that we have two layouts seems to be due to some change in > gnome-shell and/or gdm - a fresh install of Debian stretch shows the > same behaviour, except that the configured keyboard is selected as the > default. Are you sure that a fresh install does not have the problem? I did reproduce it in the past.

Bug#866361: live-config: Keyboard configuration in gnome-shell not working
Package: live-config Version: 5.20170316 Severity: normal Tags: l10n Related to but not identical to #854004. Keyboard configuration is still not working in gnome shell 3.22 as expected. The fix for #854004 works on the console and has the effect that we now have two keyboard layouts in gnome shell, English and the configured layout, with English being the default. The fact that we have two layouts seems to be due to some change in gnome-shell and/or gdm - a fresh install of Debian stretch shows the same behaviour, except that the configured keyboard is selected as the default. I don't know what would be the "right" way to fix this. We could hard-wire the dconf setting org/gnome/desktop/input-sources, but that does not look right. I found a maybe related report in Mageia Linux here: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14476 It suggests that a) Gnome Shell/GDM now ignores several env vars like GDM_LANG, which is set in Debian b) accounts-daemon needs to be restarted after setting up the system-wide locale and keyboard layout I will try to dig further into this, but maybe someone else has an idea.
