How reproducible:
always

Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2022-08-24 13:40:32 UTC
Proposing as a Final blocker:

> If a particular keyboard layout has been configured for the system, that keyboard layout must be used:
>    In the "initial setup" utility (if applicable)

Comment 2 Geoffrey Marr 2022-08-29 21:36:11 UTC
Discussed during the 2022-08-29 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as both an "AcceptedBlocker (Final)" and an "AcceptedFreezeException (Final)" was made as it's a clear violation of the Final criteria, and since it affects the install process so can't be fixed with an update and would be annoying for non-US English users, we also grant it Beta FE status.

Edit to comment 2: "AcceptedFreezeException (Beta)"

Comment 4 Kalev Lember 2022-09-13 13:31:09 UTC
Looks like this is an issue with gnome-shell getting the keyboard layout somehow wrong during the initial setup session. Not really sure what's going on here, but pretty sure it's not an issue with gnome-initial-setup itself at least.

Comment 9 Kamil Páral 2022-09-16 11:19:22 UTC
Hmm, it doesn't seem to work for me. I took F37 Workstation Live Beta, installed it, then rebooted into the rescue environment available from Server DVD, updated gnome-shell, and rebooted into the system. The initial setup still selected US keymap by default, even though the default keymap was CZ. The user then had CZ by default in his session.

Quite interestingly, if I create another user and log in, the second user has also US keymap selected, even though CZ is still marked as default in Settings. Probably the same bug, and probably not fixed.
