Description

After updating to SailfishOS 2.1.2.3 my Jolla Tablet is missing the most keyboards (also the german keyboard whereas the system language is set to german) and only shows three available keyboards: the English keyboard and two chinese keyboards in 'Settings > Text input > Keyboards'.

Affected versions and devices

This issue occured after updating to Sailfish OS 2.1.2.3 (from version 2.1.1.26).

This bug is present on my Jolla Tablet. According to other reports it seems that also other devices like the Jolla Phone are affected.

How to reproduce

  1. Upgrade to SFOS 2.1.2.3
  2. Navigate to 'Settings > Text input > Keyboards'
  3. Result: There are only three keyboards available - the English keyboard and two chinese keyboards

Workaround

As a workaround you can execute the following command in the terminal to solve this issue:

pkcon install jolla-keyboard-layout-western
edit retag flag offensive close delete

Bug present for me too, tried rebooting, restarting home, selecting active keyboard=[another keyboard], none of these work.

I were also affected of this bug after the update to 2.1.2.3. Manually installing jolla-keyboard-layout-western brought the missing german layout back.

@M1KE Thank you, this workaround indeed solves the issue. :)

Mhm... I updated my tablet and have all of the keyboards I had before. So the issue is not reliably reproducible. Question: How did my tablet differ from yours so I had no problems while you did. Any ideas? patches or keyboard related add-ons that you had installed?

@ossi1967 Well I manually deactivated all patches and don't have any custom keyboards installed.

nope, but I am doing a factory reset at the moment, as I have several other issues like missing developer mode etc. , but I'll do that in the future when I come accross similar problems. thanks a lot for the hint !
