Issue created May 16, 2017 by intrigeri@intrigeriMaintainer

Keyboard layout chosen in the Greeter is sometimes not applied to the session once logged in

Originally created by @intrigeri on #12543 (Redmine)

Another person reported this with WhisperBack (bd68705224328b7b61b5eb0b87a9ea01), and the logs pretend it worked:

Mai 12 08:38:33 amnesia systemd-localed[7930]: Changed X11 keyboard layout to 'de' model 'pc105' variant '' options ''
Mai 12 08:38:33 amnesia systemd-localed[7930]: Changing virtual console keymap to 'de' toggle ''
Mai 12 08:38:33 amnesia systemd-localed[7930]: Failed to issue method call: Unit systemd-vconsole-setup.service not found.
Mai 12 08:38:33 amnesia systemd-localed[7930]: Failed to convert keymap data: No such file or directory
Mai 12 08:38:33 amnesia systemd-localed[7930]: Changed locale to LANG=de_DE.UTF-8.
Mai 12 08:38:33 amnesia systemd-localed[7930]: Changed locale to LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8.
[...]
Mai 12 08:38:38 amnesia /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[5860]: (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
Mai 12 08:38:38 amnesia /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[5860]: (**) Option "xkb_layout" "de"

In this last case, the logs indicate that the persistent volume is full, which can break stuff.
