My keyboard layouts resets to default after reboot

System default keybord is us. I add my own layout, so that I have two and after reboot it’s reset back to just us.

My added layout is fine. I have it for years and it worked with the same kde version of 2 months before without issue. After fresh install I’m left with this resetting behavior.

I’m using wayland, after installation of system I was getting popups about keyboard issues, so I followed what was requested: I set fcitx 5 and then I ran im-config where I set ‘do not activate any IM from im-config and use desktop default’.

When looking for solutions I noticed this is older subject, someone recommended making .config/kxkbrc readonly, but this does not matter, the file gets overwritten anyways.

How to fix?

If you don’t need fcitx, you can remove the package. Otherwise you can try the solutions offered in the fctix5 issue tracker:

Thank you for quick reply.
Fcitx5 removed, solved the issue.
TBH. I don’t think this should be installed by default. If it works and not causing problems, ok, why not. But this just confuses the users, as it really seems that this should be running. Rant off :slight_smile:

Thank you very much again.

What is your distribution? I have seen multiple times issues with fcitx5 being the root cause.

It’s Kubuntu 24.10

As @Wismill was indicating, that feedback might be helpful for the Kubuntu folks, who control what system components are installed by default in that distribution :slight_smile:

Same on Manjaro. Thanks for the solution!
