Description Adrien D 2019-12-17 21:27:59 UTC

Hi all,
I installed Gentoo with openRC + GNOME 3.32.

All is okay but i have a problem with gdm, my keyboard is in qwerty layout, but i have an azerty keyboard.
Once logged into gnome french keyboard is okay.

If i lock the session, on gdm i have azerty keyboard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Gentoo with OpenRC and profile 17.1/desktop/gnome
2. Set locale to french 
3. Install gdm + gnome and see the problem

It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis.
We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. 

I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3].
I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4].
Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

The problem is not with only my system but with other layouts than "en".
gdm do not use the locale defined in the system.
So i think it's a bug.
On systemd system, i do not have the problem.
gdm not work only with gentoo + openrc.

We need more detailed information about the bug in the ebuild. From your description it can be anything. Please search for help in the channels noted before.
