Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.14.2-2
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Hi,
When logging into GNOME Shell, the keyboard settings in /etc/default/keyboard
are ignored. I end-up with a default us layout. Note that the correct layout is
used when I log in a virtual terminal or in KDE for instance.
I tried using gnome-control-center to add a french layout. I tried several (not
only my preferred) with always the same result:
In "Region & Languages", "Input Sources" section, click "+". In the dialog that
pops up, navigate to a convenient layout and click "Add". The popup closes. In
the "Input Sources" field, nothing changes: the text is still "No input source
selected".
In addition, this course of operation leads to the file /etc/default/keyboard
being overwritten, with several lines lost. That is something I can't
understand, since this file belongs to root (I have checked) and nowhere was I
prompted for a su or sudo password.
If gnome-control-center was launched from a terminal, the following error
message appears when clicking the "Add" button:
(gnome-control-center:6899): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to
dconf:
GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._g_2dfile_2derror_2dquark.Code17:
Cannot open dconf database: invalid gvdb header
Kind regards, Thibaut.

OK. Let's close this then.
