Login - No german keyboard layout

Hi, I have a small problem. With my BunsenLabs Login Screen I get simply no German keyboard layout. Although it is displayed in the upper right of the bar ... where could the error lie? Or where can I change it by hand?

You can generate new locales and set the default with:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Re: Login - No german keyboard layout

@Head_on_a_Stick Thanks for your tip, but the problem is still present.

On my desktop I have a German keyboard layout, no problem! But not at the login, although it is displayed in the upper right (see the picture).

Yes, the keyboard layout is not German! I always have an American layout at login.
And yes, he shows that it is a German layout. But it is as I said an American loaded

Re: Login - No german keyboard layout

So you are getting a US functioning keyboard instead of a german functioning keyboard?

For those in the know, would the instructions in this link be helpfull?

Yes, they seem broadly similar to the those in the Debian wiki to which I should have linked in the first place.

https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard

@OP: this command is handy:

localectl

Re: Login - No german keyboard layout

I have a German keyboard layout everywhere in the system.

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="logicd"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

BACKSPACE="guess"

Just not at the Bunsenalbs login...! There is only the english / american keyboard layout. Although a german keyboard layout is displayed in the upper right corner.

Re: Login - No german keyboard layout

Hallo search,   

I have exactly the same picture.

The error I know actually only of sddm. However, after the first letter has been entered, the changes are made to the correct layout.

For me there is only LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
All other languages have been disabled.

unklar@lab:~$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: de
       X11 Model: pc105

The layout remains throughout the session in American English?

try

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

If it does not set it correctly, then manually, as in the first link.

Re: Login - No german keyboard layout

Hi unklar,
Yes the problem seems to be bigger. Here are my files:

stefan@stefanlabs:~$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: de
       X11 Model: logicd
     X11 Variant: qwerty
     X11 Options: lv3:ralt_switch
stefan@stefanlabs:~$ 

and the...

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT="qwerty"
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

BACKSPACE="guess"

What do you get instead? US? Like ß -> = or " -> @?

The z and the y are interchanged. The = is at the ' button, # is at the § Button etc.
