Created attachment 1200839 [details] wrong `username` Description of problem: Time to time users enter their Full name in local language. But anaconda tries to construct username based on fullname, and in this case there are wrong username (it is allows only Latin characters), so, user should manually change language and enter correct (ASCII-only) username. I suggest to use some kind of transliteration from local user's language to Latin/english characters, allowed for username. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installations of OS 2. Create user 3. Enter Full name on non-english language Actual results: Can't proceed installation without manual correcting user name. Expected results: Press Done and proceed installation without manual correcting user name.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'. 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 25 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 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
So this is a feature request that makes sense, but I kinda doubt it's the sort of work anaconda team wants or has the resources to maintain. anaconda devs, maybe someone can take a quick look here and if this is not something you think it's feasible to do and maintain, close this as WONTFIX?
Hello, I couldn't find a Python library that would provide this functionality and we are not going to implement it. However, the installer could skip the non-ASCII characters or generate an empty string instead of the invalid user name. What do you think?
