Bug ID: 428675
Summary: no keyboard layout button on SDDM login screen
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: g.gue...@posteo.net
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I have two keyboard layouts (gb, fr) set on my system. The default is "gb" I
added "fr" through system settings > keyboard > layouts > add.
On the lock screen (either when using the lock function or after wake-up) there
is a handy little button on the bottom left which allows the user to choose the
layout to enter the password. So far so good!
On login screen (either after login out or on reboot), however, there is no
such handy layout button. In this place there is the choice for the which
Plasma session (say X11 or Wayland).
I haven't tested what it looks like if I do not have Wayland installed (maybe
the layout button would then appear). But in any case, that is a problem as
users should be able to choose a layout, (especially in the case of having to
enter a password), whether or not they have multiple options for plasma
session.
In both login and lock screen I can see the virtual keyboard and the battery
icon. Only issue is with the layout button.
I have to point out that this is especially an issue as on the login screen the
layout automatically reset to the system default and not the the last used
layout on the user session (thank god there is the virtual to actually be able
to login!). I'll file a separate report about this issue.

Sorry if this isn't filed in the right place, I could not see a specific SDDM
section. Feel free to move it :)
