[Bug 2084340] [NEW] KDE Plasma session resets to English (US) keyboard layout on login

[Andrew Tribick]

Public bug reported:

After a fresh install of Kubuntu 24.10 "oracular", it appears that
regardless of what I do the keyboard layout always gets reset to English
(US) on login to the Plasma session.

Steps to reproduce:

Open System Settings, go to Layouts, remove "English (US)", add "English
(UK)". Observe that typing now works with the UK layout.

Log out.

Log back in.

Try typing # or some other character that is in a different location on
the UK keyboard - you will get the result from English (US). Re-opening
System Settings will show the list containing only the "English (US)"
keyboard.

I have tried dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration but without
success.
