Anaconda just reads in a list of keyboards and descriptions from xkeyboard-config, so reassigning to them. This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Ping !! Is this bug still reproducible in Fedora 23? If not lets close else move to Fedora 23. Yes, it is still reproducible. I just downloaded the latest Fedora 23 Workstation image and ran the installer in a VM, and all the available keyboard selections for Norwegian keyboards are labeled "Nynorsk". Thank you Petter :) Moving to F23 What's it supposed to be? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes gives me the options: Norsk bokmål, Norsk nynorsk and just Norsk. Which one is the correct one? As there is no distinction between nynorsk and bokmål keyboards, it should just say "Norsk". Petter Punting back to anaconda, this doesn't seem to be an xkeyboard-config problem but I'm getting a bit lost in what's actually happening.
Anaconda loads the locale from langtable, converts that to a keyboard layout ("no"), then it uses its xkl wrapper to get the description which is the string displayed
xkl.get_layout_variant_description("no") prints 'Norwegian Nynorsk; Nynorsk, Norwegian (Norwegian)'
But I got lost figuring out where that string actually comes from, somewhere in the bowels of libxklavier wrapped through the introspection wrappers. Given that the string doesn't appear in xkeyboard-config anywhere (only the iso codes) I don't think this is an xk-c bug.
Let's try langtable... There are no such strings in langtable. This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
