[Solved] Keyboard layout US instead of DE Ubuntu 20.04 Wayland

Post by uwer » Fri May 14, 2021 8:21 pm

Hi, today I used QCAD 3.25.2 in a Wayland session for the first time.
I noticed that the keyboard layout was US. Could not find a way to switch to my locale DE.

Tried '# dpkg-reconfigure locales' and a reboot. Problem persisted.
Updated to 3.26.2, problem did not go away.
Only in an X11 session does the keyboard behave how I need it to.

Any takers?

From About/System under Wayland (Is identical to X11)

Turns out all I needed to do was install the Qt 5.14 version instead of the standard version.

As in
QCAD/CAM 3.26.4 for Linux Qt 5.14 64bit (Installer)
instead of
QCAD/CAM 3.26.4 for Linux 64bit (Installer)

Hope this helps someone.

P.S.: I'm using Wayland because working with large(ish) charts under LibreOffice is painfully slow when using X.
