I am also interested in this feature. or is there any workaround to make this work?
have tried https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable /keyboard-layout.html.en, didn't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Tieto, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949001 Title: Add keyboard layout on the login screen Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Currently the keyboard layout chooser in the top bar of unity-greeter (precise beta 1) shows the default system keyboard layout and/or the keyboard layout of already-logged-on users. The list is missing an "add keyboard layout" option. I have LDAP-based users and I am deploying the same Ubuntu image to all the machines. Users are from multiple countries, so they use multiple keyboard layouts. I provide a default, but this is not ok for some instances. Because the user has never logged on before, he can't choose his keyboard layout, because it's not there. This is a chicken- and-egg problem. Therefore, a feature to add an arbitrary keyboard layout to the list while on the logon screen is essential. This is already in GDM. Alternatively, I would need to provide a subset of keyboard layouts for the countries I will deploy Ubuntu in, but as far as I know the default list only contains the single system default layout.
