Bug ID: 489975
Summary: Keyboard layout selection has wrong values for
variants
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ansalexrich...@gmail.com
CC: butir...@gmail.com, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since 6.1, selecting Keyboard layout variants in settings seemingly doesn't
apply the correct settings in the background. In multiple cases, it just maps
to "BQN", which doesn't work, and is at least breaking the Keyboard Layout
Switcher in the taskbar and previewing the layout itself.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Break the layout preview:
1. Open Keyboard Layouts in Settings
2. Search for "German, Swedish and Finnish" and click preview
Break the keyboard layout switcher:
1. Open Keyboard Layouts in Settings
2. Select two languages without variants to make sure the keyboard layout
switcher pops up in the taskbar (For example, English (US) and German
OBSERVED RESULT
First example:
The Keyboard preview fails to load with the following error:
Keycodes above 256 (e.g. <I256>) are not supported by X and are ignored
Error: No Symbols named "de_se_fi" in the include file "bqn"
Exiting
Abandoning symbols file "(null)"
Second example:
The keyboard layout switcher stops displaying in the taskbar.
EXPECTED RESULT
First example: The keyboard previews correctly.
Second example: I can switch to the selected Keyboard Layout with the variant.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: bazzite-stable (also reproduced on NixOS)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I found this related Discuss post having the same issue with cz_sk_de:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/cannot-select-keyboard-layout/18313
Another person was able to reproduce this issue when asking, and suggested a
workaround that avoids the issue:
1. Go to ~/.config/kxkbrc
2. In [Layout], manually add your variant (this config works for me):
[Layout]
DisplayNames=,
LayoutList=de,us
ResetOldOptions=true
Use=true
VariantList=,de_se_fi
