This is a message for the Miracle spin: Hello, I’m contacting you on behalf of the Anaconda team to raise awareness that Anaconda has to change the backend which is used to control keyboard configuration of the Live environment. That means that we will depend on the org.freedesktop.locale1 D-Bus API and we are contacting you with a request to support this API. Currently, Anaconda depends on libXklavier library, however, we are forced to migrated from this solution to Wayland compatible solution for various reasons: * The libXklavier library is deprecated (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1955025 ) * Anaconda have to migrate to Wayland native solution which makes libXklavier to crash * The libXklavier doesn’t work great in some situations on Wayland environment * Anaconda was forced to not be able to configure keyboards which makes user experience worse https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2072941 Also, the Anaconda team got a lot smaller, so we are not in position to maintain both solutions based on the system. That would get us into more bugs in the future which we don’t have capacity to resolve. For that reason we are requesting all the SIGs owning spins on Fedora to implement support which will reflect this DBus API to the Live environment. More precisely, this API will be used by Anaconda to read and change the currently set keyboard layout configuration on Live media. Your Live environment should reflect on these changes and apply them to the running Live environment. I’ll create a system wide change soon to connect all the parties in one place but we wanted to reach all of you beforehand. What you need to do: * Verify if you are already reflecting the systemd-localed keyboard configuration on your spin Live installation environment. * If the above is not correct, please implement this missing communication. For inspiration (can’t be used in this version) feel free to take a look at the Sway solution (https://github.com/alebastr/sway-systemd/blob/main/src/locale1-xkb-config ). For more information please see this https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/org.freedesktop.locale1.html We would like to get these changes together with Wayland to switch to Fedora 41 if possible. In case you won’t be able to add support for the DBus service, we will solve this situation with the same approach as described in bug above which means that Anaconda won’t be controlling your system keyboard configuration in the Live environment and users will be requested to set this in the Anaconda for the installed system only. We are sorry for the inconvenience and we will try to help you with this migration process. Reproducible: Always
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle. Changing version to 42.
Hi, after this was implemented in some environments, we have started to face issues about getting information from the compositor to Localed. Often, we hit a problem that it is not easy to decide the current layout for the Anaconda window, also we found that required APIs are pretty often not present or broken. Based on these issues, we have decided to disable keyboard shortcuts for switching keyboard layouts in Anaconda which is the only requirement using information from the compositor. Outcome: Compositor does not need to reflect its configuration to Localed anymore. Compositor is still required to listen on Localed and reflect localed configuration to the compositor.

Moving to F43.
FEDORA-2025-f6dfac5433 (mir-2.22.0-1.fc43, miracle-wm-0.7.0-1.fc43, and 1 more) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 43. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-f6dfac5433
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 43-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because: This update to the Mir stack makes it so MiracleWM supports listening to locale1 for locale changes, needed for Anaconda keyboard layout stuff to work properly.
