Hi,

on a fresh install of Gnome with a new user account and an empty home
directory, the English (US, intl., with dead keys) is missing from the Input
Sources and can therefore not be chosen.

I've double checked with another system running the same packages from sid,
where English (US, intl., with dead keys) is already set and everything works
as expected. Here I also cannot select the layout again. I'm not sure if this
is a symptom of the same issue or simply because the input source is already
selected.

I suspect this is an issue with gnome-control-center, if that's the case, the
last known working version was 1:48.2-2 -- I know, because I installed unstable
on a new computer and was able to select the layout.


Cheers,

Bastian

A fresh install of what? trixie? forky? sid? Installed with what
installation image in what mode?

Was the package information collected by reportbug in your initial bug
report from the system that exhibits the bug?

All changelog entries for gnome-control-center since 1:48.2-2 list the
upstream changes, none of which seem keyboard-layout-related.

If you have two similar installations, one of which offers the desired
layout and the other does not, please could you diff the output of

      dpkg-query -W

and see whether you can spot other differences that might be
keyboard-layout-related? (for example xkeyboard-config, xklavier,
locales vs. locales-all, console-setup, ibus, libxkbcommon)

I just realized that this bugreport is obsolete. Gnome changed the way
on how to get to the more specialized keyboard layout: you have to click
on US American first to see the more specialized variants. Not very
obvious in my opinion, but not a bug.

I'm sorry for the noise, closing this bugreport.
