Keyboard input in different languages will revert to US keyboard #22

Closed brandobot closed 4 years ago

If a user is using a different keyboard input such as French or Spanish, the launchctl asuser method of invoking the password prompts will switch the user's keyboard to English.

Interesting. Do you know of any solution to this? An environment variable maybe?

Did not find a resolution to this yet. We completed our project to re-issue the fv keys with the help of your code (thanks!!!) and were okay with a 5% failure rate due to different keyboard languages being used.

Finally took some time to look into this issue. I found that running the password prompt osascript command with "sudo" reverted my keyboard input to US.

Changing it to "USER_PASS="$(/bin/launchctl "$L_METHOD" "$L_ID" sudo -iu $CURRENT_USER /usr/bin/osascript -e 'display dialog "Please enter the password you use to log in to your Mac:" default answer "" with title "'"${PROMPT_TITLE//\"/\\"}"'" giving up after 86400 with text buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with hidden answer with icon file "'"${LOGO_POSIX//\"/\\"}"'"' -e 'return text returned of result')"" will retain the keyboard layout set by the user.
