RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-07-01 20:31:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is most likely a dupe of bug 519739 (for Fedora).

Basically I selected a UK keyboard during the install.  However
at first login, it chooses a US keyboard.  This could mean that
I couldn't type my password if it contained certain punctuation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 6 beta 2

How reproducible:

Happened once.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install using a UK keyboard.
2. Reboot and go through firstboot.
3. Select your name at log in window.
  
Actual results:

Selects US keyboard.

Expected results:

Should respect my installation choice.

Do you have a UK keyboard mapping on text consoles?

Yes.

gdm does not seem to honor settings from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.

Reassigning to gdm.

Comment 10 Peter Hutterer 2010-07-08 00:29:42 UTC 
Looks like a dupe of Bug 595654 which should be resolved. Can you please verify you have system-setup-keyboard-0.7-4.el6 installed?

In your log, the Power Button device is added with US keyboard, prompting GNOME to assume US as well (see 595654 for mor details). This should be resolved by now, I'm rather confused that it isn't on your machine.
Comment 11 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-07-08 07:43:04 UTC 
Yes, it's fixed by installing that update.
