+ The gdm login screen is managed by
+ gnome-shell, which relies on the
+ systemd-localed daemon to get the system
+ settings. Since this daemon is not present on this system, a
+ sed is applied in the instructions to change this behavior,
+ but then gdm uses the system settings,
+ which default to a US qwerty
keyboard layout. This may
+ be an inconvience to enter a password when the machine keyboard
+ has a different layout. One possibility is to use the screen-keyboard
+ from the accessibility menu. Another possibility is to change the
+ defaults at compile time, by creating the following file:
+
+
+cat > data/dconf/defaults/01-keyboard << EOF
+[org/gnome/desktop/input-sources]
+sources=[('xkb','layout')]
+EOF
+
+
+ where layout should be replaced with
+ the acronym for your keyboard layout (one of the filenames in
+ /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols).
