SDDM shows only us layout

Hello,

on a fresh Arch install SDDM shows only the us layout (only the US flag in the dropdown menu).

On the console the german layout works like it should and localectl says:

# localectl
   System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: de-latin1-nodeadkeys
      X11 Layout: de
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Variant: nodeadkeys

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Any idea what's missing? Is is possible that other layouts than us need to be installed seperatly?

Though everything seems to be in place:

root@marduk /home/florian # localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts | grep de
de
root@marduk /home/florian # localectl list-x11-keymap-models | grep pc105
pc105
root@marduk /home/florian # localectl list-x11-keymap-variants | grep nodeadkeys
[...]
nodeadkeys

Thanks!

Re: SDDM shows only us layout

Try issuing

localectl set-x11-keymap

That's what I did

localectl set-x11-keymap de pc105 nodeadkeys

to achive the result above.

in the destopk, settings or  preferences>regional settings.

English is my second languaje, is the destopk settings in the menu go to regional settings and there check if is set to your country, that is what do that SDDM show your layout.

Hey,
I'm not using a desktop, just i3 as a window manager. There is no desktop setting for the language.

Re: SDDM shows only us layout

My sddm login just changes to my locale ("de") right when I start typing into the passwd field. Before it stays on "us".

Strange behaviour by sddm (I would call it a bug), but it works.
