Gnome ignores keyboard layout settings

olorian · 2012-05-12 12:30:43

Hi everybody!
As easy as the title states, I set a number of keyboard layouts in Gnome and sort them in the relevant window, but every time I start a new session the English layout is automatically selected, against what I specified.
It's the only problem that wasn't fixed by switching to systemd.
Any idea?

UPDATE: I edited xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf as described here and it looks like fixed. I'll confirm after some reboots and re-log ins.

I have exactly the same problem. I want to have multiple layouts, but it just seems impossible. English takes precedence for some reason. System settings do not have any impact on the setup. They are completely ignored.

The example on Gentoo only deals with one layout as does archlinux wiki. I need se, en, ru. But seems impossible for the time being. I guess gnome 3 does not separate keyboard layouts and regional layouts. Gnome 3 can only handle regional settings. To be absolutely clear, I would prefer gnome to show the menus in English, but use a Swedish keyboard layout.

Here I am. I confirm that I don't have this problem anymore.
As for me, I "was trying" to have it, da, de, en, with it as the first one. I don't know whether it's because of the evdev modification or systemd is also required - as I'm using it either way - but now every time I log in, it layout is selected.
I still haven't tried using, for example, a German interface and an Italian keyboard layout, as it was sorta different from what I was looking for.

Surprisingly, if - while the interface is in Italian - I set a Danish default keyboard layout, it is selected when I start the session, but if I suspend the pc, da is selected when I come back.

Made a bug report, it might be a libxklavier issue https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29858

if you think is a bug into libxklavier then you should report to them, not to us.
