I'd say that proper evaluation begins with sorting things out. I think that changing the bug summary of the other bug back to the original wording was a step in the right direction. Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to

Proper evaluation begins with everyone being on the same page, so that we increase collaboration and our ability to solve a problem. That means aggressively deduplicating bugs should always be our first priority But I don't mind if it's done on this page or that page. -- You received this

[Bug 1725676] Re: Keyboard language unavailable on the login screen

@Daniel: This is about a kind of regression when upgrading from 17.04 with Unity/LightDM to 17.10 with GNOME/GDM, meaning that one or more previously available keyboard layouts are no longer available on the login screen. The other bug is about not being able to use input methods for typing

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1566357 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566357 OK, the original reporter of bug 1566357 thinks this is the same issue. So we should merge these bugs. Keeping bug 1566357 looks like the best option - it's the older one and is shorter/easier to read. **

While editing /etc/default/keyboard may work, we really need to ensure a GUI solution exists for normal Ubuntu users before calling this fixed. If the below steps don't work then we need to find out why and get it fixed: 1. On 17.04 and earlier: System Settings > Language Support 2. On 17.10 and

@Chris: Your case is not a regression one, I suppose, but you rather did something 'stupid' without realizing the consequences. ;) One way to fix it is to make use of a bootable USB stick as I mentioned in comment #3. That would allow you to edit /etc/default/keyboard to a layout with which you

[Bug 1725676] Re: Keyboard language

I just researched it, and this is my understanding: The keyboard layout indicator in unity-greeter lists all the layouts for all users on the system. I suppose it grabs them from accountsservice. The indicator in lightdm-gtk-greeter shows the same list if it's enabled (not enabled by default).

Gunnar, that seems rather a gdm issue then? Is that because the gdm layout is the same for all users or do you understand what the issue is exactly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
