Description Angelos Tzotsos 2014-11-02 17:47:06 UTC

I have upgraded my system from 13.1 to 13.2
My system keyboard locale was Greek. After the system upgrade my keyboard is locked to Greek language and I cannot type my password (which is in English), so I am locked out of my system....
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Angelos

I tried to change /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and replace every greek setting with us but still nothing.

I had to go through konsole login -> yast -> language and set US as the default in order to be able to login...

The language gets stored in xorg.conf.d. And you are right it would be nice usability to be able to switch language to english or any other layout.

I would recommend reporting this on https://github.com/sddm/sddm
