MacOS: Colemak DH layout is not available at the login screen

[docmg]

The Colemak DH layout is not available at the login screen after installation. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Copied 'Colemak DH.bundle' into '/Library/Keyboard Layouts'.
2. Added the layout in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Layouts.
3. Rebooted the system.

Login Screen:

Directly after login:

Does anyone else experience the same problem?

Additional Information:
Operating System: MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)
'Colemak DH.bundle' is in the correct directory

I found an workaround: You can Open .bundle, then extract .keylayout and .icns directly into "/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts"-directory. Then reboot and the layout will be listed under "Others" in System preferences. Then it will work as supposed.

I do not close this issue, because the problem with .bundle-Files still exists.

I have the same issue, except the workaround is not working for me!
With the workaround I can switch back to Colemak DH when I just logout, but when restarting my Mac I only can chose one of the preinstalled layouts.

I have the same issue, have also tried the workaround but to no avail. I just got my mac yesterday so hopefully someone with more experience has some ideas.

Having the same issue, found no working workaround that's still valid.

Same problem...wanted to remove default and failed

This issue still seems to be happening. Workaround doesn't seem to be working for me. Could the login screen be searching for keyboard layouts in some directory that isn't "/Library/Keyboard Layouts"? Could it be on a different partition?

I think this might be to do with FileVault encryption.

Still looking for a solution for those running Linux on a Macbook. Between LUKS and Hyprland starting, I'm in QWERTY. Once Hyprland opens, I'm in Colemak-dh.

Just to add another experience, the Mac(Sequoia 15.0.1) tested is a Company one, it has some extra security measures and Login screen from Logout or restart is different from the one when the screen is just locked.

In the lockscreen I can now see the Coleman DH I use after applying @docmg workaround. This solves 99% of my use case.

However in the logout/restart screen I can navigate through multiple languages layouts and variants and I can see under English the Colemak DH layouts, but nothing happens when selecting (applying) them, I also can see the Coleman under "others" after applying the workaround but it still fails to apply.

My guess is that these aren't signed or secure enough and selector just fails silently to actually setting them, however without logs is hard to affirm this.
