[SOLVED] Switching of keyboard layouts don't work in Mint 20.2 XFCE

Post by mint-san »

Hi. At last I've moved to LM 20.2 XFCE from 18.3. It was big surprise to discover that keyboard layouts don't work in 20.2. Look:

As you can see, there's 3 layouts but only "En" displays and it doesn't matter how many times I click on US flag or hotkey "Capslock" - there's no other layouts in tray's plugin. To solve the problem do several steps:

1. Enable "Use system defaults" option

2. Log Out from system

3. Log In to system again

4. Disable "Use system defaults" option

Here it is: all layouts are present and work (after reboot too). Don't panic - flags are in place in installed system. I hope it will be useful for someone who uses more than one keyboard layout.
