Description of problem: Since Red Hat 8.0 and also in all Fedora Releases: When I have selected the Language "German" to install a new Release (KDE is my prefered desktop)in the Installations-Menu it is necessary to install the german kde-package kde-i18n-German manually after installation to get german GUI/Menus. The packages have never been istalled automatically. For a Newbie this is a problem I think, because if he/she wants to install the german version of kde and select it during the installation, and then the language isn't installed... I have never tried an update/upgrade (to install a new release), I have seen the bug because I have ever made a new installaton to have a clear new configuration.
Jeremy, i think it's a bug in anaconda
I know this has worked for me in the past. Are you just selecting the default German language during installation and as your default language for post-install?
Yes, I had. I'm sure it's just a small bug in the anaconda installer. It isn't very difficult to solve this problem for the most users. The RH / Fedora Config-Tools only handle the gnome-desktop as default GUI (mouse, language, etc.). - The default language in gnome is correct set as German after selecting the language during the installation. Maybe a stupid question: Would it be possible to change some config-files which can be used from kde and gnome together for further releases ?! Like a XF86Config-file, O.K. this project isn't a good example, but I hope you know what I mean. It would also help new users to have some Links to recent config-files in the home-directories, just some more samples or more comments in them. Please ignore my bad english :-) ssc
In RH-8.0 I had to check manually the kde-i18n-German package (manually / advanced package selection during installation = "benutzerdefinierte Auswahl der Pakete") then the package was installed, but it wasn't checked by default after choosing the German language. :-) ssc
I just did a personal desktop install with today's rawhide tree in german and selected to add KDE to my packages being installed and got German. Could you attach the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg from your install?
Created attachment 99456 [details] The Config-File I hope this will help you. Thanks :-) ssc
Aha, I see what it is. You do de_AT instead of de_DE -- fixed in new comps file.
Thanks for your time you spent and the info.
