Anaconda presents wrong keyboard list for Bulgarian installations and crashes with ru_win
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:04 EST
Description of problem: The latest rawhide shows wrong keyboard layout list for Bulgarian installations and crashes if ru_win is selected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.2.0.58-1 How reproducible: Tried two times - both. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try installing fedora 7 (rawhide) from mirrors.kernel.org with virt-manager and qemu emulation. 2. Select Bulgarian 3. Select ru_win keyboard layout Actual results: The system crashes saying it can not find the keyboard layout if ru_win is selected. Expected results: Anaconda should present bg_phonetic and bg_bds layouts (and en_us) and continue without errors. Additional info: May be related to Bug # 238345.
How does it crash?
It complained that some file is missing and displayed a debug dialog. I'll try this again and give more details.
I can not attach the screenshot of this, so I'll explain. The crash happens long after the keyboard is selected - when stage2.img has been downloaded and executed. This is run with virt-manager and qemu. At the screen (after I selected 'debug') there is: --- cut --- Изпълнение на анаконда, Fedora системен инсталатор - моля изчакайте...

Please try the next rawhide tree with rhpl-0.206-1 and anaconda-11.2.0.60 in it and let me know if this is working better for you.
stage2.img from 2007-May-18 19:41:09 - hashlib.py line 34 can't import _sha256... waiting for the next image. Any hint from where to get them sooner (boot.iso + stage2.img)?
With boot.iso from 27-May-2007 05:35 the problem is still the same (there's no Bulgarian kbd and ru_win crashes anaconda). rhpl-0.208-1 + system-config-keyboard-1.2.11-1.fc7 work correct (Bulgarian + Bulgarian Phonetic) in my F7 rawhide (Bug # 238345 is fixed).
No change with F7 final (qemu -m 480 -cdrom boot.iso -boot d). With 'qemu -m 480 -hda diskboot.img -boot c' I get: Loading vmlinuz....... Loading initrd.img......_ and the cursor stays forever after the dots (more dots than I typed here).
No change, tried the latest FC8 images and even the line numbers are the same. No bg/bg_pho options and still crashing with Bulgarian + ru_win.
Of course we keep this sort of information in more than one place! Please try a future tree with anaconda-11.3.0.9 in it, which I have not built yet. This should have updated keymaps for the loader that reflect the earlier changes I made in rhpl.
I tested rawhide today. In the text anaconda interface I can see both layouts and they seem to work. In the graphical anaconda interface for the keyboard I have the following choices: 'БългарÑки' (Bulgarian, translated) and 'Bulgarian (Phonetic)', which is on the top. I searched all .pot files I have and can't find this string for translation but it looks working. Can't crash the installer any more.
