Public bug reported: In Greece, the default system layout is "us,gr": $ grep XKBLAYOUT /etc/default/keyboard XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
For new users that don't have .dmrc or accountsservice entries and are supposed to get the system defaults, LightDM assumes their keyboard layout is "us". So they can't switch languages in the greeter and they can't input national characters until they login, go to gnome settings and manually set the keyboard layout. A similar bug was https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/919200, but that was only solved for the single-layout case. ** Affects: lightdm Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051288 Title: LightDM assumes there's only ONE system default layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1051288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
