Bug ID: 357194
Summary: Chosen keyboard layout doesn't work when
plasma-desktop reboots.
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.5.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard_layout
Assignee: ary...@gmail.com
Reporter: korg...@yandex.com
After configuring the keyboard to Portuguese (Brazilian) and removing the
English layout, it works nicely. However, after rebooting, the system goes back
to the English layout, although System Settings still shows that the Portuguese
keyboard is active. You must go into the configuration and change something
(anything, it seems) to that the keys start (again) to work with the Portuguese
layout. My guess is that this happens with other layouts, too.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to System Settings -> Hardware -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Layouts
2. Enable lyout configuration
3. Add a new keyboard layout (in my case, Portuguese, Brazil, br)
4. Remove the English layout
5. Apply the changes
6. Test the changes in the Hardware tab, inside the test area
7. Go back to All configurations
8. Close system settings
9. Perform a clean exit (shutdown) from the system, using the graphical menu.
10. Turn on the computer again
11. Login into plasma desktop
12. Open any application
13. Try to use any Portuguese from Brazil specific layout key, such as "ç".
14. It was expected to have a "ç" character on screen, but we get ";" (which is
the ";" location of standard English keyboards).
15. Go back to system settings and notice that only the Portuguese, Brazil,
keyboard layout is selected.
16. go back to the Hardware tab, test area, and observe that the active layout
is the English one (although it was removed from the system and the Portuguese,
Brazil, one is selected).
17. Change anything or perform the selection again.
18. The correct layout works until the next reboot
Actual Results:
The English keyboard layout is always active when the system initializes (after
a cold boot or a reboot).
Expected Results:
The selected Portuguese, Brazil, keyboard layout should be active at all times,
including after reboots.
I've upgraded to Plasma 5 from KDE 4 when Archlinux dropped support for KDE 4.
I've tried to manually erase all old KDE configuration files before performing
the upgrade, just to be sure nothing would break.
My system is up-to-date as of today December, 22, 2015.
This is an annoying bug because there are other people on the house the use
this system and they are not computer savvy enough to figure out how to change
the keyboard layout.
