Comment 8 for bug 1458220

Hmmm I think we had similar patch for this, will recheck as it was fixed.
Patch was added here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=797925
and was merged upstream in 0.11:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=800515

Seems that was a different issue.

For me, also only en_US is preselected, and once I select my username and begin typing, it automatically switches to de_DE including the correct flag. Although I don't have some german special characters, I'll check again for the keyboard layout.

Do you have either
/etc/locale.conf
/etc/vconsole.conf
or something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?

What does localectl show?

As our tools don't run localectl, it will probably show nothing, which might be the cause of the bug as mentioned in https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/202
Will need to check how Colin fixed similar issues for GNOME et al.
