Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F10-Beta How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: - F10-Beta-i686-Live.iso installed on a usb with tool "livecd-iso-to-disk" - boot laptop acer aspire 2920 from usb - On the login screen, I select the language (Français (belgique)) and the keyboard (Belgique) - When logged in the session, language is ok but not the keyboard: I have to go in the menu Système/Préférences/Matériel/Clavier to adapt the keyboard Actual results: Wrong keyboard preference Expected results: Correct keyboard preference Additional info:
might be gdm or gnome-settings-daemon. for now assigning to gnome-settings-daemon.
I have no idea how that's supposed to work. Jon, what does gdm actual do when you set the session keyboard in the login screen?
To summarize the bug: The keyboard layout selection has no effect on the Live CD. It is not related to just French or USB or Belgium. The layout will always be en-US.
please report what env | grep GDM reports in the session ?
For language Finnish, keyboard "Finland (Classic)": GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT=fi classic GDM_LANG=fi_FI.utf8 GDMSESSION=gnome For language Finnish, keyboard "German": GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT=de GDM_LANG=fi_FI.utf8 GDMSESSION=gnome
Ok, that proves that everything is fine as far as gdm is concerned. If you add a keyboard indicator applet to your panel (or open the keyboard capplet), what layout does it show as selected ?
The indicator applet says "USA".
Is gnome-settings-daemon running ? Which version ? This problem should be fixed by * Fri Sep 5 2008 Matthias Clasen <mclasen> - 2.23.91-5 - Try harder to use the keyboard layout that gdm tells us Or maybe not...
Here is what setxkbmap -print reports xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+de(deadgraveacute):2+fi(classic):3+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):1+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):2+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):3+group(alts_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; This is after logging in with 'fi classic' selected in gdm, and three layouts configured in gnome: us, 'de deadgraveacute', and 'fi classic'
Please try with gnome-settings-daemon-2.24.0-3.fc10. That should fix it.
