Same here. I'm trying to to switch layout with Ctrl+Alt+K, Alt+Shift, clicking on widget, selecting keyboard in widget menu or manually removing current layout from KDE settings... none of this  does anything

setxkbmap us

works fine

Looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295438

I have the same problem. "setxkbmap in" works fine to change the layout to Indian, but the plasma layout indicator applet doesn't do anything. I tracked the problem to this error:

plasma-desktop(2259) LayoutsMenu::switchToLayout: switchToLayout with unknown layout "in"

in .cache/upstart/startkde.log [~/.xsession-errors in other distros.] The keyboard shortcut doesn't do anything (no error is produced either.) This looks different from Bug 295438.

The same thing happens with other layouts. [I tried Russian.]  I am using KDE 4.13.3 on Kubuntu 14.04.

Here is my kxkbrc
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I lost my layout last night and don't have systray icon anymore. That setxkbmap fi worked fine here too.

I've just tested this issue and I can change to the Latvian(lv) layout.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
