Maybe it is a problem that has been solved in this topic: > [@Problem with keyboard language after update](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/problem-with-keyboard-language-after-update/68695): > > I ran an update of EOS the other day and after that a strange problem has arisen. I use Swedish on my keyboard but after the update it changes to US after every reboot, even if I remove US from the list completely, SV disappears from the list every reboot. I have tried to solve it in several different ways but nothing I do works… Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve it? ---

@keescase No, that seems to be totally different. It is fcitx5, not even ibus ---

This wiki about Ibus [mentioned](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IBus) fcitx5 as a related article, so I thought the topic might help. > **[IBus - ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IBus)** ---

fcitx5 is an alternative to iBus – However the layout I am using is only supported in iBus ---

I found a solution. First, remove iBus from startup applications and remove `QT_IM_MODULE` and `GTK_IM_MODULE` environment variables. Go to `Settings -> Keyboard -> Virtual Keyboard` and choose `iBus Wayland`. Reboot. Afterwards, it should work. You may have to choose your input languages once again in iBus settings. ---
