I see an empty drop down box where the language code of the current keyboard layout should be.

To reproduce the bug: Lock screen or log out and log in again.

I also get the same behavior on the lock screen at the time when I try to log in with my password:

After I tried the workaround (below) the language code on the login screen disappeared as soon as I typed the first character of my password.

Workaround (not permanent): Switching with keyboard (Super+space) or mouse.

System info: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, GNOME 3.28.2.

Please indicate in the bug report if also affects you.

  Yes, it was my post. Just switch to OFF all extensions with one single switcher (in GNOME Tweaks Title), Reboot, but get same indicator behavior.. Perhaps it is worth trying to disable all GNOME Tweaks, but I'm not sure that's 100% possible now.

After some January updates got the same problem, but on Ubuntu 18.10.
Reinstalling appindicator packages (see commands below), somehow partially fixed the problem: lang indicator stop disappearing in gnome-shell, but still do in gdm.

apt install --reinstall gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1

apt install --reinstall gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

Update 2019-01-20

the commands above didn't work. worked solution, at least for ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic), is rollback to previous version of gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common packages:

sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell=3.30.1-2ubuntu1 gnome-shell-common=3.30.1-2ubuntu1

and perform the reboot

optionally, but highly recommend - prevent update on those packages, like these:

sudo apt-mark hold gnome-shell gnome-shell-common

and wait for fix. after fix will be released - just unhold those packages and run updateupgrade command.

for ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)

you should try rollback those packages to 3.28.1-0ubuntu2 version.

possible origin of the problem

the only difference between old version and version at January update is in this bugfix; he also relate to ibus, so that fix may be the cause of the "disappearing lang indicator" problem

   Pin: release a=bionic-proposed
   
   Pin-Priority: 400
   
   

   
   
   

   If sudo apt-get upgrade -s return any package something went wrong.

   
   


3. Run sudo aptitude -t bionic-proposed
   


4. Update with u
   


5. Select the proposed related packages:
   
   
   
   
   • gnome-shell-common 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.1
