This bug still exists but really curious on Kubuntu 16.04 and after upgrade on 16.10. This bug exists first at login screen, thats mean, if you have an encrypted ubuntu system with passphrase required at boot time. At boot time the external logitech keyboard with german layout and unifying receiver works fine with german layout like the internal laptop keyboard. But at login screen the external keyboard changed to us layout, the internal keyboard not!
And now it would be extremly strange. After a time between 5 and 90 minutes working with the wrong layout on the external logitech keyboard, the external keyboard changes to the german layout themself! And until reboot the external keyboard keep the german layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1458220 Title: [master] system keyboard layout not honored Status in sddm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in sddm package in Mandriva: In Progress Bug description: I'm on a fresh install of Kubuntu: Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 I chose German as installation language, de with nodeadkeys as keyboard and locale is set to de_DE.UTF-8. 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!
