Description Adam Williamson 2024-03-09 01:16:22 UTC 
As discussed at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-kiosk/-/merge_requests/38 , mutter dropped the xevent filter API in 46-rc1:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3599

this unfortunately breaks keyboard layout switching in gnome-kiosk, because it relies on this API. That means it's broken in anaconda (in dedicated installer images), which is a release blocker per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_40_Final_Release_Criteria#Keyboard_layout_configuration (only I really need to update that criterion to list the installer, it's an oversight not intentional, we have always read it as including the installer). So, filing a blocker bug.
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2024-03-09 01:17:05 UTC 
Not proposing as a Beta FE because 46-rc is blocked by the Beta freeze, but note we should not accept https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2267754 without fixing this.
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2024-03-11 16:09:02 UTC 
+4 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1506 , marking accepted (this is on the basis we can't really ship GNOME 46 Beta in F40 final, so we clearly need to fix this).
