Richard Stevens (3-uail-j) wrote : system keyboard layout not honored

I'm on a fresh install of Kubuntu:
Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04

I chose German as installation language, de with nodeadkeys as keyboard and locale is set to de_DE.UTF-8.

The console uses the correct keyboard, however when logging into sddm, the keyboard layout is set to US.

SDDM doesn't seem to honour the keyboard configured during installation.

SDDM installed is:
ddm:
  Installiert: 0.11.0-0ubuntu10
  Installationskandidat: 0.11.0-0ubuntu10
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 0.11.0-0ubuntu10 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I believe it's a bug since the keyboard layout at login window after installing as described above should be the default system one, german in the above case.

I have tried all sorts of ways (including some ugly hacks) to get this resolved on a previous installation but didn't find a way. Considering the many moving parts to get the login manager up and running, I'm aware this might be filed against the wrong package. It might even be an installer bug.

Thanks!
