** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ The GUI in gnome-control-center for adding input sources is broken. The
+ XKB layout variants should be visible in the menu of respective
+ language, but instead they are all shown under "Others".
+
+ The issue has a potential to cause confusion for a lot of users.
+
+ [Test Plan]
+
+ 1. Open Settings -> Region & Language and press the + button
+ to open the window for adding input sources.
+
+ 2. Click "English (United States)".
+
+ -> Find far fewer options than expected
+
+ 3. Install the gnome-desktop3 binaries from hirsute-proposed and
+ relogin (or possibly reboot).
+
+ 4. Repeat 1. and 2.
+
+ -> Find the expected input source options
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ The fix is a cherry picked oneliner which was committed upstream on
+ February 16 in order to address this issue. Very hard to see how it
+ would affect anything else adversely.
+
+ [Original description]
+
Ubuntu 21-04 installed from scratch (on dual-boot) a few days before
stable release.
To be able to switch to a language that requires a keyboard different
than my own, I used the GUI's "language and region" settings > "manage
installed languages" > install/remove languages. I found "Russian" and
it was added. Next i pressed the + sign. Selecting "Russian (Russian
Federation)" yielded 2 keyboards: "Russian", "Russian (Polyglot and
Reactionary)".
Neither keyboard was "phonetic". The phonetic keyboard has been with the
standard Ubuntu installs for at least ten years.
According to Gunnar Hjalmarsson "Ubuntu 21.04 is shipped with the same
version of the xkb-data package as in 20.04 and 20.10, so nothing has
changed. And multiple variants are available, including the one named
Russian (phonetic)." So this should be fairly easy to fix, no?
I find that the language settings are a little too complicated for me to
tamper with on the terminal, but I am including the information I was
able to collect:
~$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
...
nb_NO.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
ru_UA.utf8
$ setxkbmap -print -verbose
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+us+inet(evdev)
geometry: pc(pc105)
xkb_keymap {
- xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
- xkb_types { include "complete" };
- xkb_compat { include "complete" };
- xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" };
- xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
+ xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
+ xkb_types { include "complete" };
+ xkb_compat { include "complete" };
+ xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" };
+ xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
