let me increase severity as this is a blocker for nontrivial number of users I wonder how many of them we have lost in the last three years (as I've just seen a relevant bug from 2009 ... still not resolved) In live we depend on the desktop to handle language and keyboard setup since it is expected that the user will be doing a testdrive before running the installer. GNOME should make it easier. Great :-( and the desktop team seem resigned on just leaving language (and kbd) settings in gnome-control-center, "a no brainer" even though it requires a logout! ;-) Anyway what is the big problem with showing the screens in anaconda always? At least until GDM supports language and kbd settings again, which I have been requesting for a long time now. Anyway this is definitely not a gnome-shell bug, and I don't particularly want this important issue to get lost among the 800 other open gnome-shell bugs... On a more positive note I think the i18n team could contribution patches to gdm and/or gnome-initial-setup to bring back language and keyboard settings before login. Matthias told me that gnome-initial-setup mockups [1] now include language and keyboard setup screens apparently, though it is not mentioned on the gnome Feature page [2]. I am still a bit unclear on the interaction between the Live installer and gnome-initial-setup: "Just show a splash and 'welcome' in the system language if the language was selected in the interactive installer". I would prefer always to show the language screen. [1] https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/InitialSetup [2] https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/InitialSetup This should be fixed in the new ui included with anaconda-18.3. In KDE the same problem. The suggestion is commented by the user netsys (FAS account of fedora ambassador). This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 newUI fixes this. You get the language selection screen in the live installer. |
