Description Victor Ashik 2006-12-04 09:15:40 UTC
Description of problem:

Anaconda installer offers too many variants of Russian keyboard layout.
I think all but one of them are obsolete variants of KOI8-R layout, and should
be removed or hidden, because only UTF-8 layout (Russian) works after setup.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from setup media
2. Choose Russian language
3.
  
Actual results:
Offers many variants of russian keyboard layouts.
Only one variant (default one) will work after setup.

Expected results:
Only one variant offered.

The ru.map.utf8ru keyboard layout (labeled as "Russian (utf8ru)") is the only
working one?

Comment 2 Victor Ashik 2006-12-04 22:37:39 UTC
No, ru.map.utf8ru is missing: system-config-keyboard gives me "cannot open file
ru.map.utf8ru" message, and find /lib/kbd -name 'ru*' proves it.

The only working one is ru.map, labeled Russian.

Comment 3 Victor Ashik 2006-12-04 22:44:23 UTC
I must note, that there are still some cases for using single byte encodings
KOI8-R and windows-1251 with Fedora. So I think we should not remove keyboard
layouts completely, just hide them from installer and system-config-keyboard to
save regular user from encodings hell.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2006-12-05 15:11:32 UTC
This will be fixed in the next build of rhpl.  Thanks for the information.
