I cannot reproduce: - If I go to Control Center -> Keyboard -> Sources and I add an English (US) keyboard, an applet allows me to switch between it and spanish one (In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #1) > I cannot reproduce: > - If I go to Control Center -> Keyboard -> Sources and I add an English (US) > keyboard, an applet allows me to switch between it and spanish one To switch between keyboards is not my problem. I can do this. My problem is that after the login the german keyboard is preselected. The german keyboard is the first keyboard in the list of keyboards in the keyboard panel app. Normally after the login I start a root terminal and have to enter the root password. In the root password is a letter with different position of german and US keyboards. I want to use the US keyboard layout. So I have to switch manually after every login the keyboard layout. This is a little bit anoying for me. I am unsure if this has been allowed in older versions (I never tried). Anyway, for now you should be able to select the desired default keyboard using localectl as I think gnome is taking the default from that setting. Anyway I have opened a bug to upstream to try to know more about this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743400 OK, upstream explains that the following workaround is needed until they allow reordering the keymaps: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743400#c3 This will need to wait for upstream (looks like they are implementing some changes for 3.16 cycle) |
