Description severin.kunz 2019-11-18 06:41:52 UTC
Every time the computer is restarted, the keyboard layout seems to be set to the english keyboard layout, even though I am using another keyboard layout (DE-CH). Therefore I have to enter the password according to the english keyboard layout. Once logged in, the keyboard layout is set correctly.

Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-11-19 16:54:07 UTC
Are you able to reproduce this in Plasma 5.17? Plasma 5.15 is not an LTS version and is longer supported.
Comment 2 severin.kunz 2019-11-19 17:08:41 UTC
I'm on Kubuntu and therefore seemingly stuck on an older version. Is there a way to upgrade Plasma on Ubuntu to a newer version than supposed?

Why does Kubuntu come with a Plasma version that isn't supported anymore?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-11-19 17:12:22 UTC
It was supported at the time when you installed it, but time flies. :) You're still using Kubuntu 19.04, while the latest version is 19.10, which includes a newer version of Plasma.
Comment 4 severin.kunz 2019-11-27 08:59:26 UTC
The issue is occurring on the newest version too.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2019-11-27 16:21:24 UTC
Thanks!

How are you setting the keyboard layout?

> How are you setting the keyboard layout?

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean with "how".
I have beeetting it during the installation process, or if that didn't work with the GUI settings.

A lot has changed since this bug was filed. Is it still reproducible for you in Plasma 5.25 when using the Maliit virtual keyboard?
