Description František Zatloukal 2022-04-07 10:34:16 UTC
Description of problem:
Starting installation from KDE Live with non-US keyboard forces user to open and close keyboard spoke.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-36.16.4-1.fc36..x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up F36 KDE Live
2. Choose non-english language in Anaconda
3. Click continue

Actual results:
Yellow warning near the keyboard setup which prevents you from continuing with the installation process until you open and confirm the layout in the keyboard spoke.

Expected results:
Like for the US keyboard layout, there should be no visible warning near the keyboard button in the installer just after choosing language with non-US layout.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2022-04-07 10:37:27 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 36-final by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because:

 Doesn't look great

Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2022-04-07 12:56:01 UTC
Most probably the same root cause results in a crash of Anaconda when you have multiple layouts in the Fedora Workstation environment before running the Anaconda.

Comment 3 František Zatloukal 2022-04-09 11:28:56 UTC
Discussed in ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/726

The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedFreezeException was made:

"This is an annoyance that would affect any user installing Fedora with non-US keyboard layout. As it affects the installer, it can't be fixed with a post-release update."
