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
