How can I change the Login Screen Keyboard to Dvorak-fr

Question

I would like to change the login screen keyboard to dvorak-fr but I can't find a way and the keyboard for login is in qwerty.

The keyboard indicator in Greeter say "No other layout available" and tty1 is in dvorak-fr as expected (as well as my session once I am logged).

Answer 1

The following solution works fine for me:

• First open Language & region and add required language and layout.

• Now open terminal and run:

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
  

  Then it asks to select the following options:

  1. Keyboard model: Press Enter

  2. Country of origin for the keyboard: Select French and press Enter

     

  3. Keyboard layout: Select French - French (dvorak) and press Enter

     

  From now press Enter and continue for remaining options till end.

• Now reboot the system.

Answer 2

This is what solved the problem for me. Goto System Settings -> Language & Region

The window would probably say something like language not properly installed. CClick on it and let it install. That's about it.
