1 year ago Thanks! That bug had been sitting around since June. Fixed now.
I think Ubuntu Wayland uses the Sway compositor by default? Looks like different programs respect different instructions, ugh.
Hello,
At first reboot after installing, gdm refused to start, and let me to deal with finding the issue from terminal. I finally got to this:
Which lead me to this broken line: https://github.com/DreymaR/BigBagKbdTrixXKB/blob/516e7bcdd66f155c65e43b111590013cebddbbb0/xkb-data_xmod/xkb/rules/evdev.xml#L2671
After fixing it, gdm accepted to start normally.
This was on a Ubuntu 20.04. When I then installed on a 22.04, the behaviour was different. Gdm started fine, and I could log on. But keyboard was in qwerty for most windows, except, oddly for firefox and gimp, who were using the intended layout (4caws). I also noticed the layout selector in top right corner of gnome was missing.
After fixing the evdev.xml file in the same way, and rebooted, things went a bit better, but not fully. Ie. it's like most windows and gnome seems to use something like 4ca (which I have never configured or tried on this machine), but firefox and gimp do use the expected 4caws.
Maybe that one could be related to wayland. But I don't even know which compositor is used by default...
