Ubuntu 18.04 Login Keyboard Language English (US) and Afghan?

I add the exact same issue with only English(US) and Afghani being available when upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.

You can change the keyboard for the login screen from the "Region & Language" menu.

There is a specific menu called "Login Screen" at the top right in the window, which is not obvious at first look.

There, you can configure the language and keyboard for the Login screen.

Alright - I had the same problem after upgrading from 17.10 to 18.04.

The solution I found was to remove my keyboard language (German) from the settings completely, switch everything to English (US) only. Everything in the region&language settings. After that did a restart - and voila: only English was available.

After that, I re-installed the German keyboard settings and set that as the default - logged out and on again. Now it's fine, Afghani is gone, German is back again.

I had a similar problem with french (several applications in English but some were in french with the french keyboard layout, some applications did not even start). It took me several steps to fix it completely:

• reinstallation of the language-pack-fr package
• regeneration of the locales: sudo locale-gen --lang en and sudo locale-gen --lang fr
• reconfiguration of the locales: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales (I checked 'all locales')
• check with Ubuntu Region and Language tool (click on Apply system-wide)

Note that this was a trial and error process: I did those steps several times in various order rebooting to test. So it's not a step-by-step recipe.

For this particular problem (the last one), I think I solved it by re-installing the gdm package (with synaptic). I removed the QWERTY keyboard layout first (I don't know if it is needed).

I had the same problem when being Spanish speaking and using the letter ñ in my passwords. Finally I made the same decision to replace the manager start, gdm3 by LightDM, with a small point: at first, LightDM login screen remained in infinite loop, even getting good password, but change the startup type from Ubuntu Wayland to Ubuntu (default) and it works perfectly.
