Created attachment 857285 [details] Selection missing Norwegian Bokmaal Description of problem: There is no "Norwegian bokmaal" keyboard setting available in the Input Sources drop down menu. The only selection starting with "Norwegian" is "Norwegian Nynorsk" (rare, minority keyboard). For some reason, under B one can find "Bokmaal, Norwegian". This is some hunspell keyboard variant that I definitely do not want. The "setxkbmap no" command works fine, and sets the keyboard I want. As far as I remember from Fedora 19, I could select Norwegian Bokmaal, Norwegian Bokmaal, no dead keys Norwegian Sami Norwegian Sami, no dead keys Norwegian Nynorsk Norwegian Nynors, no dead keys Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-3.10.2-4.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installation from full DVD (have not tried from Live DVD). 2. Try to select Norwegian Bokmaal which should be sorted under N during installation 3. See that it is missing. Actual results: No good Norwegian Bokmaal (no) keyboard Expected results: Good old "no" keyboard selectable Additional info:
What's your xkeyboard-config package version? I can't reproduce this here I'm afraid. If I search for 'norway' I see only Northern Saami (Norway) and Norwegian, both of them with several variants. The one labeled simply Norway corresponds to "setxkbmap no".
xkeyboard-config-2.10.1-1.fc20.noarch Your experience sounds like how it should work. There should be no difference in keyboard setting between Bokmaal and Nynorsk. Did you try starting the installer from Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso? As I mentioned, the problem was already visible when trying to select keyboard to use for installation.
So, there's nothing in xkeyboard-config (the keymaps database) labeled Bokmaal. The Bokmaal entry that you see is from the typing-booster input method which uses the installed dictionaries and algorithms based on what you type to suggest work completions as you type. The keymap that you want is labeled "Norwegian" in GNOME. If the issue you are reporting is about the Fedora installer then we'll have to move this bug to the anaconda package.
Please have look at the attached image to see that I am not making this up. I have no choice for "Norwegian". I agree that "Norwegian" should have been available there, and "Norwegian Nynorsk" should not have been. This is a problem both in the installer and in the keyboard selector in Gnome when I installed from Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso. I have now installed another computer using Fedora Network Install, without getting into this problem.

As far as I'm concerned the canonical Fedora desktop installation is the one provided via the Fedora desktop live ISO.
OK, I did as you said and I found the Norwegian keyboard. Great, this solves the problem for me. Thank you. However, I am probably not the only one who finds it confusing first to have to click "..." to see languages other than the 10 most popular, and then again scroll to the end to press "Other" to get my language "Norwegian" listed. Especially when "Bokmaal Norwegian" and "Norwegian Nynorsk" are listed on the first page. I would suggest putting these Hunspell languages under Other instead (and change the name of Bokmaal Norwegian to Norwegian Bokmaal). After all English US (Hunspell) is not the easiest to find US English, so why should this be the case for Norwegian?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
