Description Mike FABIAN 2016-03-18 16:52:18 UTC
I used Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24_Alpha-5.iso
and installed it in qemu.

I selected Japanese in the language selection of the installation.

I added an US English keyboard layout and made it the first priority.

After the installation started, I entered a password for root
but created no user.

After reboot, in gnome-initial-setup, Japanese was already selected
as the language and I kept that.

I continued  in gnome-initial-setup selecting ibus-kkc as the Japanese input
method.

After gnome-initial-setup was finished (I also created the user there) and
the gnome-desktop started, the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale was set and working
and the Japanese input was working.

But “langpacks-ja” was not installed.

Installing it manually with dnf is possible:

[mfabian@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install langpacks-ja

But shouldn’t this have been installed automatically?

Nope. If you want particular packages to be installed, use a package-based installation method. liveinst installs whatever is in the live image.

I did another  installation, this time using Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24_Alpha-1.5.iso instead of the live image.

I installed in Italian choosing Japanese and all 4 variants of Chinese
as additional langauges to be supported.

After the installation, I had the following langpacks installed:

[mfabian@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep langpack
glibc-langpack-zh-2.23.1-5.fc24.x86_64
python3-dnf-langpacks-0.15.1-4.fc24.noarch
langpacks-zh_CN-1.0-7.fc24.noarch
glibc-langpack-it-2.23.1-5.fc24.x86_64
langpacks-ja-1.0-7.fc24.noarch
glibc-all-langpacks-2.23.1-5.fc24.x86_64
glibc-langpack-ja-2.23.1-5.fc24.x86_64
langpacks-it-1.0-7.fc24.noarch
dnf-langpacks-0.15.1-4.fc24.noarch
langpacks-zh_TW-1.0-7.fc24.noarch
dnf-langpacks-conf-0.15.1-4.fc24.noarch
[mfabian@localhost ~]$ 

This looks good, the langpacks for it, ja,  zh_CN, and zh_TW are installed.

So this works fine in a netinstall, but when installing from a live image,
the langpack for the language selected in the language selection of the
installation is not installed.
