Bug#866361: live-config: Keyboard configuration in gnome-shell not working



Package: live-config

Version: 5.20170316

Severity: normal

Tags: l10n


Related to but not identical to #854004. Keyboard configuration is still
not working in gnome shell 3.22 as expected. The fix for #854004 works
on the console and has the effect that we now have two keyboard layouts
in gnome shell, English and the configured layout, with English being
the default.

The fact that we have two layouts seems to be due to some change in
gnome-shell and/or gdm - a fresh install of Debian stretch shows the
same behaviour, except that the configured keyboard is selected as the
default.

I don't know what would be the "right" way to fix this. We could
hard-wire the dconf setting org/gnome/desktop/input-sources, but that
does not look right.

I found a maybe related report in Mageia Linux here:

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14476

It suggests that

a) Gnome Shell/GDM now ignores several env vars like GDM_LANG, which is
set in Debian

b) accounts-daemon needs to be restarted after setting up the
system-wide locale and keyboard layout

I will try to dig further into this, but maybe someone else has an idea.

Andreas
