Keyboard layout applet crashes. #8257
Comments
In case anyone needs it, here is a simple script that can be used as workaround to switch between keyboard layouts. #!/bin/bash
# Simple script to switch between Irish and Italian keyboard layouts
current=`setxkbmap -print | awk -F"+" '/xkb_symbols/ {print $2}'`
case $current in
ie)
setxkbmap it
;;

setxkbmap ie

Hi @pviotti , thanks for the script, switching worked for me, after adapting to my layouts.. funnily enough, I didn't have your problem (I was debugging something unrelated - one shortcut press for switching layouts switches 2/skips one), but now my keyboard indicator dissappeared after using your script for the first time (with correct layouts), and not even a cinnamon restart, or removing/adding the applet will bring it back. I'll try a re-login, and then a restart. I'm just writing it here as a warning for other people running cinnamon 4.2.4+tina with a working keyboard layout applet. :)

At a seemingly random point during the Cinnamon session the keyboard layout applet disappears and cannot be loaded anymore. The keyboard shortcut to switch between layouts stops working too.
I'm pretty sure it's something related to the xapps library, which is why I opened an issue in its repository: linuxmint/xapp#63 . I thought of opening one here too just for reference for anyone experiencing this.
