I'm using XFCE environment and Whisker Menu.

From Menu open Keyboard. Then go to layout tab and there is option to add layouts. (screenshot attached).

This was working fine. May be latest update cause the issue.

"xkeyboard-config-2.30-1" is broken. I've downgraded the package to 2.29-1 and it works.

I've investigated the issue further after it was closed [I guess you didn't understand difference between Bengali layouts. That's okay with me.] and pin-pointed the cause for my issue. I use 2 layouts, one is "us" and another one is "bd -variant ,probhat". So my issue was with the second layout, which was not loading correctly, instead default Bengali layout was loading.

Do I need to file another issue about "xkeyboard-config-2.30-1" or I can edit this one?

Please check if it has been solved already in git master or report it upstream:

Thankfully I got the solution yesterday, but I didn't find this report, so I couldn't update and close this report.
I downgraded to xkeyboard-config-2.29-1 and problem is solved. parhaps the latest xkeyboard-config pkg is broken.


Thank you.
