[SOLVED] Wrong login keyboard layout

Hi, I'm new to ArchLinux.
I just installed arch on my laptop using the new arch installer.
I choosed gnome as desktop enviroment and after the installation i choosed the italian keyboard layout.
The problem is that when i want to login the keyboard layout is still the english layout and not the one I choosed.
How can I change this setting?

Re: [SOLVED] Wrong login keyboard layout

I actually solved my problem following this topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148586
Apparently the gnome 40 display manager is still based on xorg and i had to change even the xorg default layout.
I solved using this command:
sudo localectl set-x11-keymap it

Re: [SOLVED] Wrong login keyboard layout

Thanks a lot that worked perfectly. I needed the German layout but replacing the "it" at the end of the command with "de" was all I had to change.
