       VC Keymap: de
      X11 Layout: n/a

# cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP="us"
FONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

2. After step4, keyboard layout shows U.S. English, the keyboard acts same as US
# cat /etc/default/ovirt | grep KEYBOARD

       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: n/a

# cat /etc/vconsole.conf

Could be a Private* or selinux issue again

Comment 3 Douglas Schilling Landgraf 2017-01-25 21:04:16 UTC
Ok, investigating a little bit on this one, I agree with Fabian it seems related to systemd in our particular environment as we had in the past with bz#1381666 and bz#1378304.

From journal logs I see:
Jan 25 20:03:37 localhost systemd[1]: Started Locale Service.
Jan 25 20:03:37 localhost systemd[1]: Starting Locale Service...
Jan 25 20:03:37 localhost polkitd[1294]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-process:18244:31902 (system bus name :1.46, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.utf8) (disconnected from bus)
Jan 25 20:05:26 localhost systemd-localed[18290]: Failed to set virtual console keymap: Device or resource busy

As our TUI calls: localectl set-keymap ar-digits

I have tried:
    # systemctl restart systemd-localed.service  
    # localectl set-keymap ar-digits
    Failed to set keymap: Failed to set virtual console keymap: Device or 
    resource busy

Looks to strace I see:

19165 recvmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"\6\1s\0\6\0\0\0:1.138\0\0\4\1s\0\22\0\0\0System.Error.EBUSY\0\0\0\0\0\0\10\1g\0\1s\0\0\7\1s\0\6\0\0\0:1.136\0\0=\0\0\0Failed to set virtual console keymap: Device or resource busy\0", 138}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_DONTWAIT|MSG_NOSIGNAL|MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 138
19165 writev(2, [{"Failed to set keymap: Failed to set virtual console keymap: Device or resource busy", 83}, {"\n", 1}], 2) = 84

The file /etc/locale.conf is not persisted as read-only and /etc/vconsole.conf was unpersisted in this test. The service systemd-localed.service simply cannot be activated.

My systemd systemd-localed.service:

Lukas, any idea where I could dig into?

Comment 4 Douglas Schilling Landgraf 2017-01-25 21:33:38 UTC
No such issue in RHVH 4.0 and 4.1:

# localectl set-keymap de
# systemct status systemd-localed.service 

Everything working like a charm.

Comment 5 Ryan Barry 2017-01-26 00:05:09 UTC
I'd expect this got resolved when we started using platform Anaconda...

Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2017-01-26 08:43:01 UTC
Thanks, I'm closing this as NEXT RELEASE.
If you're affected by this bug please update to 4.0 or later.
