Ubuntu 18.04 add to input source not working, what am I doing wrong?
0
In "Language and Region", the Language is "English" and formats is set to "Australia".
I tried to add "French" to input sources - it displays "French" but pressing "Add" is not working.
I tried again, added "Greek" , no problem, then tried add "French(alt.)" and that worked, still wondering why "French(France)" is not accepted. Could it be a keyboard problem ? My keyboard is "qwerty" is it expecting "azerty" keyboard ?

in "SETTINGS" on the left you have the options, one option is "Language and Region" , pressing Enter on "Language and Region" gives on the right "Input Sources" , under "Input Sources" there is a list of language(s) installed. Under the list there is a "+" sign to add a language. When I add "Greek" the language "Greek" is added, so I say : it works. When I add "French(alt.)" the language is added, so I say: it works. When I add "French" nothing happens, so I say: it does not work.

Thanks, got it. Just tried it myself. When I clicked French (France), a sub menu opened and there I could successfully add French. Does that possibly help?

Yes it does help, if it works for you and not for me then the problem is with my computer. Thanks.

That's weird. Can it be that the file with the French layouts is corrupted for you? One idea: Runsudo apt install --reinstall xkb-dataand then reboot.
