Also in 18.04 - after upgrade from 16.04. At some point the UI keyboard switcher is not available, so I stuck with locked screen. My input is switched from US to RU, so no way to pick the right symbols.
An I tried to use a different shortcut - such as Ctrl-Space - it didn't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010866 Title: No Keyboard Layout option in lock screen Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have QWERTY as my default keyboard layout and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit) with Gnome Shell. Now, 1. I switched it to Dvorak and made Dvorak default and the QWERTY secondary. 2. Now I start learning Dvorak 3. Now I go away from computer for tea 4. When I come back the computer is locked due to auto lock setting 5. Now I can not type password using QWERTY because default layout set to Dvorak as said in #1 6. I am locked out since yet I have not learned the Dvorak layout So it will be great to provide keyboard layout button to change the layout using mouse on the lock screen as that of the login screen. Thank you.
