Hello Can anyone tell me where I can a keyboard setup on the user login page? I have added the keyboards I want in the gnome preferences but these keyboards are not offered for the user login. ![PXL_20240101_205550080](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/f/fc0e79481d647243a883650e4f4c6367e3323e7e.jpeg) I presume there must a file that keeps this info, but I cannot work out where. Any help is most welcome. Thank you ---

Hi, if I understand, you want to be able to have multiple keymap locale at login screen. I first thinking that was a locale issue (tools “# localectl status” change it “# locale set-keymap be”) But regarding multiple keymap selection at login screen, I don’t know → sorry for the noise ---

Hello Virer Multiple keyboards would be great, but having the right keyboard would be an excellent start. Sorry for my ignorance but where would I find the above commands. I looked in GRUB and did not see anything like the above. Many thanks ---

Hi, You need to run those command in a terminal console (not in GRUB cli). So log in as user and type the following command to see what is the current configuration : $ localectl status Then you can change it by using the following command with the “right” option/parameter prefixed by “sudo” to have more privileges : $ sudo localectl set-keymap \ so it give something like this for French keyboard for example : $ sudo localectl set-keymap fr if you are in Germany you may use something like this : $ sudo localectl set-keymap de You can list available keymap using : $ localectl list-keymaps ---

Perfect. Your suggestion has worked perfectly for me. I can’t see how I can add another keyboard, but having the right one is great. Many thanks Virer. ---
