Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2011-02-14 15:27:33 UTC 
Could you run please

systemctl is-enabled system-setup-keyboard.service || echo "it's not enabled"

and if indicates it is not enabled, you can enable it manually via

ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/system-setup-keyboard.service \
 /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/system-setup-keyboard.service

Does it helpL?
