Title:
Login screen randomly reverts my default keyboard layout to en-US
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have seen that happening randomly during the 20.04 development
cycle, and I think more often in the last week or so, but never
consistently: when I turn on my laptop, on the GDM greeter screen the
keyboard layout that's selected is en-US, instead of my default
preference (fr-bépo).
To give an example of the randomness, this is what I did this morning:
1) Cold booted my laptop, selected my user, typed my password, login got
denied, looked at the keyboard layout indicator and realized it was en-US
instead of fr-bépo
2) Selected fr-bépo in the indicator, typed my password again and
successfully logged in (and indicator in the session remained fr-bépo as
expected)
3) From the menu, rebooted laptop
4) On the GDM login screen, keyboard layout indicator was reverted to en-US,
again
5) Changed indicator to fr-bépo, logged in, used gnome-terminal and apt to
dist-upgrade, then rebooted laptop from menu
6) This time on the GDM login screen, my default preference (fr-bépo) was
selected
