To turn this off: echo 'i18n_install_all="no"' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/99-reducedi18n.conf (In reply to Harald Hoyer from comment #1) > To turn this off: > > echo 'i18n_install_all="no"' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/99-reducedi18n.conf Works fine. Is this behavior intended?

Is this behavior intended? Yes, because people changed keyboards, languages, etc. and complained that a kernel command line change did not have any effect when entering their encrypted disk password. Hm, changing keyboard layout or language is only applied after a dracut initramfs rebuild anyway. So why not put this line on by default?

So why not put this line on by default? that is not true. you can change the kernel command line any time to set the keyboard (In reply to Harald Hoyer from comment #5) > (In reply to Christian Stadelmann from comment #4) > > Hm, changing keyboard layout or language is only applied after a dracut > > initramfs rebuild anyway.

If you want to keep this feature (I guess so), feel free to close this bug as WONTFIX or NOTABUG. 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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. 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 23 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. |
Description of problem: Currently (on F23) a default initramfs contains about 500 keymaps, 200 consolefonts and 50 unifonts. On boot only one keymap and a few (usually 1-2) consolefonts will be used (don't know about unifonts). How about removing the others? This will reduce initramfs size by about 4 MiB. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-043-63.git20151211.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: always. use lsinitrd to analyze /boot/initramfs-${kernel version} Steps to Reproduce: 1. update kernel or run `dracut /path/to/new/initramfs.img`
