This looks like a configuration error, rather than a bug in the code, since the com.canonical.indicator.keyboard schema should be installed when indicator-keyboard is installed.

I'd suggest reinstalling indicator-keyboard to see if that resolves the problem.

I reinstalled the package via synaptics and the error still occurs when logging in occasionally.

I ran

strace /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-keyboard/indicator-keyboard-service --use-gtk

and found that it was failing with message

"Settings schema 'org.gnome.libgnomekbd.desktop' is not installed"

So I used "apt-file search org.gnome.libgnomekbd.desktop" and found that it is in the package named "libgnomekbd-common"

I installed this package and now the indicator works in XFCE.

Installing libgnomekbd-common worked for me, too.

I hit this problem in ubuntu 20.04 as well, but I fixed it by switching lightdm to gdm3

sudo apt install gdm3
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
