I have Keyboard Autoswitch added to a panel and it does work the way it is intended as long as I don’t shut the computer down. After any reboot the the applet is still present among the panel items but does not function. I have to delete it from the panel and re-add in order to make it work.
This has been happening for several months on two different computers, each on Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 with no additional PPAs related to Budgie activated. Am I the only one to experience such problems?

No one has reported this issue.
I’m just wondering if this is a related issue. https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-extras/pull/360
When you reboot and it fails to work - run the following in a terminal
dmesg | grep -i 'dbus.exceptions.DBusException'
What is the output if anything?
Also - if you restart the panel after login - does the issue resolve itself?
nohup budgie-panel --replace &Many thanks for your quick response, @fossfreedom! I just tried on one machine and got no output to the dmesg-command as you had probably expected. Restarting budgie-panel did, however, solve the issue.
ok - restart again - this time run
dmesg | grep -i budgie
What is the output?
Sorry for the delay, I was busy. The output is empty, also after restarting budgie-panel.
That doesnt sound right - there should be all sorts of budgie related stuff being reported - logon events and other stuff.
Please copy and paste into a terminal rather than typing.
Also another method of listing system events related to budgie is
journalctl -ae --full | grep -i budgie
I see what you mean, and I was a bit surprised by the result, too. However the output is none, even if typed and if cautiously prepending it with an unnecessary sudo. The journalctl output is more wordy:

Ah - good good - it really does look like the issue I pointed to at the beginning.
Ok - final thing - we need now to confirm that the fix that went in over the weekend really resolves your issue.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/budgie-extras-daily
sudo apt upgrade
Logout and login and retest a few times
To revert back after testing:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/budgie-extras-daily
Logout and login
If you can confirm that it is indeed fixed - please file a bug on launchpad so that we can reference it when fixing for 20.04
ubuntu-bug budgie-extras
or if that doesn’t work
ubuntu-bug budgie-keyboard-autoswitch-applet
Sounds great, thanks a lot for your consideration! I shall not be able to work on that particular machine until Wednesday and will report back then.
Cheers!
Just as you predicted, @fossfreedom, the fix does indeed apply to this problem. With the daily repo, keyboard auto-switching works persistently across logout or reboots as opposed to without it.
I could only file a bug report against budgie-extras:
Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Well I won’t help on that topic but just to say I notice the same on UBudgie 20.04 :
django@ASGARD:~$ dmesg | grep -i budgie
[ 66.636378] systemd[1]: Mounting Mount unit for ubuntu-budgie-welcome, revision 221...
django@ASGARD:~$
…so on a system where all snap things had been discarded, that command would answer nothing.
Hi. I had the same problem, and I confirm than after enabling daily build ppa everything works good again.
