Description Lauri Nurmi 2009-05-04 20:35:40 UTC
Description of problem:
The keyboard layout that is selected during installation is ignored after logging in to the installed system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-11-Preview-x86_64-DVD.iso

How reproducible:
100% with two attempts.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin installation
2. Choose Finnish keyboard layout
3. Finish installation; log in to the system
  
Actual results:
Keyboard layout is US.  GDM correctly indicates the layout is Finland, but after log-in it is US, and the only layout listed in Gnome's keyboard settings (by default) is USA.

Expected results:
Keyboard layout should be Finnish.

Additional info:
I only tried with Finnish layout, but I don't see why this would be a Finnish-specific problem.

Can you try updating to gdm-2.26.1-7.fc11, 
gnome-settings-daemon-2.26.1-4.fc11 and 
control-center-2.26.0-6.fc11, and see if the problem goes away ?

I know that this is "an old bug" but this problem persists on all my Fedora 12 systems.

I use the "Canada French (legacy)" layout.  When I shut down my machines (every once in a while for my desktop and server, and regularly for my laptop) after a new power-up, the US keyboard shows up as an optional keyboard layout, although the Canada French (legacy) layout is marked as the default; however, the US keyboard layout is the layout; to get the correct layout, in the system/keyboards/layouts screen I must select the US layout and click on "remove".

The above-mentioned packages, corresponding to F12, are all up to date.
