Tails 4.8 : changing the language in the Greeter does not update keyboard layout properly
Hi there,
How to reproduce ?
- Upgrade from Tails 4.7 to 4.8
- Start Tails 4.8
- Set the language to 'French' → looks like the keyboard layout is set to french too
- Type your passphrase to unlock Persistent storage
Result
The keyboard layout is stil 'qwerty' : typing 'a' writes 'q'
As a consequence, users will not be able to unlock their Persistent storage
Additional informations
This bug appears with Tails 4.8, everything was fine with Tails 4.7 (i.e that's a regression)
A bug report has been sent with whisperback
Setting the keyboard layout manually (clic on keyboard → select French) does fix this issue
Just ping me here if any additional info may help
Cheers
