Not sure if it helps but since I have created this bug quite some time ago I have discovered a few things. For me at least the bug seems to be somehow connected to Logitech wireless keyboards. If I boot my system with a wired Cherry keyboard, the keyboard configuration is honored and everything works as expected. If I connect the logitech wireless keyboard, it's not. This is reproducible. My Logitech Keyboard is a K520 with a Unifying receiver.

The console uses the correct keyboard, however when logging into sddm, the keyboard layout is set to US. SDDM doesn't seem to honour the keyboard configured during installation. SDDM installed is: ddm: Installiert: 0.11.0-0ubuntu10 Installationskandidat: 0.11.0-0ubuntu10 Versionstabelle: *** 0.11.0-0ubuntu10 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I believe it's a bug since the keyboard layout at login window after installing as described above should be the default system one, german in the above case. I have tried all sorts of ways (including some ugly hacks) to get this resolved on a previous installation but didn't find a way. Considering the many moving parts to get the login manager up and running, I'm aware this might be filed against the wrong package. It might even be an installer bug. Thanks!
