Status: Open => Answered
Andrew P. proposed the following answer:
You need to add layout indicator to panel to have ability to change layouts.
There are 2 ways to do it.
1. Latest greeter version have builtin layout indicator (~layout).
There are two versions of it: LightDM layouts API version and alternative
implementation.
I'm recommend to use alternative implementation, just install greeter using
this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~kalgasnik/+archive/ubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter-libxklavier
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
[greeter]
…
# add "~layout" indicator to panel
indicators=[your indciators];~layout
…
Greeter uses system layouts settings. So you need to add dvorak layout to
system layouts to use it at login screen.
You can use special GUI tools for it (keyboard/layouts settings -> system-wide
or something similar) or you can modify "/etc/default/keyboard" file:
XKBLAYOUT=us,us
XKBVARIANT=,dvorak
XKBOPTIONS=grp:ctrl_shift_toggle
2. You can use "keyboard-indicator" with greeter.
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
[greeter]
…
# add "keyboard" indicator to panel
indicators=[your indciators];keyboard
