PROPOSED FIX The current popup shows: Information: Username, Current keyboard layout (also a button) Buttons: Switch user, Unlock
When you click on Switch user, you end up at the correct behaviour: the keyboard is switched back to the default layout, the same layout that the user used to login, and it does offer the option to switch user (the standard login screen). Proposed fix: go straight to the login screen (it fixes the layout, and it doesn't require extra clicking when a alternate keyboard layout happened to be active, and in case it is desirable to switch the user, it is immediately possible) As a bonus, you're using a well tested and beautifully designed screen, and you're skipping an unnecessary widget. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen (to change keyboard layout for entering password). - Switch to some non-english layout (otherwise lock screen will not have layout indicator at all) - Lock the screen - Press your shortcut for changing keyboard layout (i.e. ctrl+shift) -- it will not change layout - Clicking layout indicator near password entry box works ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Oct 25 11:01:10 2013 GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: No GnomeSessionInhibitors: None GsettingsGnomeSession: org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 300 org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'ubuntu' InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-23 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-screensaver UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
