1) The SDDM login screen doesn't have any way to change keyboard layout to another language, even if it's already added in plasma keyboard settings. 2) There is no way to enable virtual keyboard inside login screen. I use Breeze theme for SDDM. Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.8.3-2-MANJARO OS Type: 64-bit
I see both of those in my login screen, in the bottom-left corner. Do you not see them? Can you share a screenshot of what your login screen looks like?

Thanks, that helps. You should definitely see them in the bottom left corner, but I can see that they're absent. You're missing the battery icon in the bottom-right corner, too. Are you sure you're using the Breeze SDDM theme, and not the fork of it that Manjaro ships?

The theme I used and still use for SDDM is Breeze (I never used any third party theme). I'm sure virtual keyboard and keyboard switcher was there after fresh install (since 1year), but due to many updates they disappeared, I didn't touch any config file specific to SDDM except for selecting black background. What I suspect is that SDDM config files were not correctly upgraded after a certain upgrade. Is there any place where I can download the correct config files to apply them locally ? You can find my locally config files attached.
Can you run `/usr/bin/sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/` in a terminal window and attach the text output in the terminal window?

With this command, only the keyboard layout switcher reappeared at left bottom.

Weird, I'm out of ideas then. Feels like a distro or configuration bug anyway, but I can't be sure.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #10) > Weird, I'm out of ideas then. Feels like a distro or configuration bug > anyway, but I can't be sure. Not it's a distro specific issue as I have reported a similar issue on Neon for the keyboard layout. On the login screen I have: On bottom left: Virtual keyboard, Desktop session >> keyboard layout is missing On bottom right: battery icon Whereas on lock screen I have: On bottom left: Virtual keyboard, Keyboard layout On bottom right: battery icon Neon based on 20.04 Plasma 5.20.1 Qt5.15 Kf 5.75

I can confirm the issue with keyboard layout button on both Arch Linux and neon unstable. Previously reported as bug 428675
