I found out that I done a mistake of setting the second string 'sources' key to the literal string 'xkb_layout' instead of the layout codename. So, I changed the setting as follows: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources [('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ara')]
Now, the keyboard indicator does show the different layouts, and defaults to the english 'en' layout. Yet, if I select the arabic layout, it doesn't actually change the layout, yet it does update the indicator to display 'ar' instead of 'en' (even though the active layout is arabic 'ar'). Also if I actually changed the layout using a hotkey, the keyboard indicator doesn't update to reflect the currently active layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154486 Title: Keyboard layout doesn't show in GNOME Shell session (again) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1154486/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
