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 .

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2026-06-22 15:52:21 UTC
This should be fixed by this upstream commit: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/cea90be39d263e388003a07d125b469c0803d55c

I've started a new rawhide plymouth build with that commit added.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2026-06-22 15:58:41 UTC
Hmm, %autorel seems to have bumped the release field by 1 per commit. I thought it was supposed to figure out the last build and only bump the release field by 1 ?

Anyways a fixed plymouth-26.134.222-4 (rather then -2) is on its way.
