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 Marko Myllynen 2011-10-18 09:50:05 UTC
Description of problem:
After updating from RHEL 6.1 to RHEL 6.2 Beta and rebooting the keyboard selection menu in GDM has gone missing. It's not any more that obvious which keyboard layout is in use, potentially causing problems if passwords contains some special characters.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.2 Beta

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-18 14:31:48 UTC
can you attach your /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ?

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-18 19:15:43 UTC
That's by design.

We only show keyboard layouts you have set up now. See bug 628462

if you change that to

LAYOUT="fi,us"

for instance, then a layout selector should appear

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2011-10-19 06:31:26 UTC
I have

mitmanek: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard 
KEYTABLE="us"
MODEL="pc105+inet"
LAYOUT="us,cs"
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
mitmanek: $ 

However, even when I can click the icon in gdm, I have still US keyboard only.

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-19 12:11:23 UTC
pretty sure you want

LAYOUT="us,cz"

I don't think cs is a valid keymap.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-10-21 18:54:47 UTC
i'm going to go ahead and close this out.
