Description Yulia Kopkova 2010-09-22 08:26:11 UTC
Description of problem:
If choose some keymap in keyboard selection step anaconda does not show any hint how to switch between layouts. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F14

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose non-english keymap in keyboard selection stop. (for example from Cyrillic group).
2. Try to input root password or what ever.
3.
  
Actual results:
You will not be aloud to input root password cause your default keyboard will be Cyrillic. So you should find a way how to switch between keyboard layouts. That might confuse non-experienced user.

In the graphical UI, anaconda just wraps childWindow from system-config-keyboard, so that'd be the best place to add a tooltip, label, or other small UI hint as to what to do.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:54:35 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
