Description Adam Williamson 2026-05-26 21:01:17 UTC
Since plymouth-26.134.222-1.fc45 landed in Fedora-Rawhide-20260522.n.0 , non-English install tests are failing because the keyboard layout when entering the encryption passphrase is English (US), not the native layout, e.g. here:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/4767541#step/_graphical_wait_login/2

That's a French install, it should be using the fr-oss layout. It worked correctly in Fedora-Rawhide-20260521.n.0:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/4761330#step/disk_guided_encrypted_postinstall/1

I've reproduced this manually as well. It seems to definitely be a Plymouth bug, because if I do a minimal install (so I don't get Plymouth at all), the correct layout is active when entering the passphrase. Also, I verified that /etc/vconsole.conf has the correct config in both the initramfs and the installed system:

KEYMAP="fr-oss"

Proposing as an F45 Final blocker per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_45_Final_Release_Criteria#Keyboard_layout_configuration .
