So, what can I do?

I have a German keyboard layout, can I help?

After several days and upgrades, it seems, that unattended-upgrades got removed automatically, so I don't bother anymore :)

Like this?
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11516 or this https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15360

Oh btw, this has to be applied to v3 Librems as well, because the fix for the US keyboard breaks the | key on them as well.

Definitely need this, had this fixed already several times, but it seems to get overwritten when doing updates.

I just wanted to point out, that it doesn't seem to be added via an update (but it should - in my opinion, if that's not an option it should be probably added in the wiki?)
I'm fine with the manual edit. :)

Another solution is to add:

### Enable Echo/Noise-Cancellation
load-module module-echo-cancel use_master_format=1 aec_method=webrtc aec_args="analog_gain_control=0 digital_gain_control=1" source_name=echoCancel_source sink_name=echoCancel_sink
set-default-source echoCancel_source
set-default-sink echoCancel_sink
# automatically switch to newly-connected devices
load-module module-switch-on-connect ignore_virtual=no

to ~/.config/pulse/default.pa or to the bottom of the /etc/pulse/default.pa file.

NOTE: You need to logout and login again or to restart pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k command for the changes to come into effect.

Using the Qt-version on PureOS and the status icons aren't really needed. The popup for allowing a device looks a little bit out of place, but it works flawlessly.

Is there a documentation available to configure this, now that it's possible to do now?

Ok, the workaround described in T486 helps!

The EC firmware needs to be replaced.
Maybe this is a license issue, because the ROM is non-free and distributing it freely would be problematic, but maybe @mladen.pejakovic will tell us more.

Ok, got a reply from a Gnome dev, to reset the tracker via this command: tracker reset --hard

It's still not clear how (what steps have to be done exactly) I (or Purism) can fix this issue and we all can agree that this issue shouldn't be existing, right?

Hmmm. Maybe the problem you're describing is not the problem I have, because the mapping shown in Gnome Settings/Region and Language (see the screenshot) shows the pipe key at the correct position and nope, I didn't choose the US keyboard layout at installation or anytime else.
At the testscreen it even shows that the pound sign (german layout on the right, left from enter) is pressed instead of the pipe sign (right from shift).

I'd prefer if it's fixed on the firmware level instead having a workaround installed, which only works PureOS.
Is it somehow possible to apply the firmware fix myself? (I'm dependent on it, I need it for work...)
Is the EC flashable on PureOS, or do I need an external programmer?

Jep, no change.

Ok, it reports 240-5pureos1 as the current installed version after apt full-upgrade, but it still inputs the pound sign instead of pipe.

Sorry, that was a bit to early :)

The build is still failing :(

Did an upgrade and rebooted, it still reports 239-7pureos1.
Is the new version already in green?

Here's the output: 239-7pureos1

Is it possible, that it's fixed on US and UK layouts, but on DE not?
Still have this issue...

I have a brandnew Librem 13 and installed the newest available PureOS version. Updated it in full and now it doesn't boot in normal or recovery mode, so I suppose it will be quite easy to replicate this issue..
