Description of problem: 2nd keyboard layout disappears after restart. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.4.3-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a 2nd keyboard layout. I add Hungary standard. 2.restart the computer or hibernate for long time (min 1-3 hours). the issue doesn't appear if I hibernate the machine just few seconds. 3. Actual results: The panel's plugin forgets the settings. /home/USERNAME/.config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-21.rc includes these: display_type=0 display_textsize=1 group_policy=0 default_group=0 never_modify_config=false model=pc105 layouts=gb,hu variants=,standard toggle_option=grp:lalt_lshift_toggle compose_key_position= Expected results: The panel's plugin 'remembers' the settings. Additional info:
Did you configure the keyboard in xfce4-keyboard-settings?
Yes, I did. But the layout was configured by xfce4-xkb-plugin. I don't know what happend my comments but I figured out when I log out/in or login through screen server the keyboard-layout settings are forgotten. The other interesting things, in the .config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-21.rc the settings exists. So, they are disappearing in the GUI but they remain in the config file.
Created attachment 665341 [details] after restart there were two keyboard layout before shut down and now after start there is only one - GB. but now the secondary layout is missing from the config file.
Thanks for the feedback. However that was not what I had asked you for. My question was not if you configured the different layouts in the plugin but in the Xfce control center. Please paste the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml
$cat ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <channel name="keyboard-layout" version="1.0"> <property name="Default" type="empty"> <property name="XkbDisable" type="bool" value="false"/> <property name="XkbLayout" type="string" value="gb,hu"/> <property name="XkbVariant" type="string" value=",standard"/> </property> </channel> Interesting. The issue appears partially. Now, when I started my computer, the layouts were fine. I will test a screensaver session.
Created attachment 666034 [details] after screensaver after screensaver the other keyboardlayout disappeard from the GUI. check the last png file.

I did upgrade to F18 and the issue is reamianed. I noticed that the secondary language from the keyboard-layout plugin on the panel just disappear after a time.
so it doesn't depend on hibernate/suspend or restart.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
