Description Marko Myllynen 2011-10-18 09:50:05 UTC

Description of problem:
After updating from RHEL 6.1 to RHEL 6.2 Beta and rebooting the keyboard selection menu in GDM has gone missing. It's not any more that obvious which keyboard layout is in use, potentially causing problems if passwords contains some special characters.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.2 Beta

can you attach your /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ?

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-18 19:15:43 UTC

That's by design.

We only show keyboard layouts you have set up now. See bug 628462

if you change that to

LAYOUT="fi,us"

for instance, then a layout selector should appear

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2011-10-19 06:31:26 UTC

I have

mitmanek: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard 
KEYTABLE="us"
MODEL="pc105+inet"
LAYOUT="us,cs"
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
mitmanek: $ 

However, even when I can click the icon in gdm, I have still US keyboard only.

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-19 12:11:23 UTC

pretty sure you want

LAYOUT="us,cz"

I don't think cs is a valid keymap.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-21 18:54:47 UTC

i'm going to go ahead and close this out.
