keyboard permission problem

[gerard_bekking]

Hardware HP 840 G3 (16GB ram intel i7)
Operating system Linux Mint 20.2
Root account on the system (can login as root)
User/administrating account on the system (login as user)

If I login as user I doe not have permission to add keyboard lay-outs. If I login as Root I do have that permission.
How can I change that.
When I first installed mint 20 I had no problem adding keybords.

Thanks for looking in to this.

You did not mention desktop installed. Post back following code reult

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxxxzr

To discard permission problems, from a normal user session run following code

Code: Select all

find $HOME -not -user $USER -exec ls -lad {} \;

If there is any file listed run

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME

Then try to add/change keyboard layout.
