KDE keyboard layout not starting on login
Hello, I have a strange issue that appears in two systems. One Tumbleweed and one 15.4. I use en and gr keyboard layouts configured from the KDE settings. Although the setting is valid and as soon as I apply it the keyboard layout indicator appears in the system tray, after reboot it disappears and I have to go and re-apply the settings (it is not deleted just not "executed") to make it visible and working again. I usually use keep last session on KDE but I also tried to start with a clean session or with a manual saved session. Nothing seems to affect the keyboard layout indicator, it is always disappearing after reboot. Both systems were working as expected before. The only difference is that the issue on 15.4 appeared just after dist-upgrading from 15.3. Any ideas on how to debug it? Regards Stratos

What is the setting in the System Tray? Right-click on the small up-arrow and go to Configure System Tray and click on Entries. On my system with two layouts configured, the Keyboard Layout entry is set as 'Shown when relevant'. If that doesn't work try changing it to 'Always shown'. gumb
Found also this which is exactly the same behavior from another 15.4 user. For me it happens on Tumbleweed also https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=176677 But unfortunately there is no answer there

Well, I think it is time for you to fill a bugzilla ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Hello, After long time and nobody has responded to the bug. I managed to pinpoint it after observing what is happening. The culprit is KDE wallet. Verified in 2 systems, one latest Tumbleweed and one 15.4. The layout indicator appears but as soon as the kwallet password form is displayed on login, the keyboard layout indicator is crashing and disappearing. I disabled kwallet on both systems and indicator doesn't disappear on login anymore. Stratos
