Description of problem: I cannot see a way to change the keyboard in gnome3. In gnome2 I had to select from the login screen. In gnome3 I can change the system keyboard, which now matches everything else, but it is still wrong within gnome. Console is fine. I have rebooted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This is definitely a bug. Under languages, I can click the keyboard button and up pops a window containing a picture of my keyboard layout. It's the wrong keyboard (US I think). If I add another keyboard, then make that default, delete my original keyboard, then re-add it and make it default, the preview button shows the correct layout. Which is very strange. Default new install. Only used gui to change stuff.
I run the command: gnome-control-center region and after a reboot I am using US again. The gui says the correct and only keyboard layout installed. The preview is wrong. Death by a thousand paper cuts :/
Simpler way to reproduce 1. Add new keyboard layout 2. Delete it 3. Problem solved - no changing defaults necessary
Logging in and out again resets the keyboard layout. Please can you up the severity.
The layout selected on login is the first one in the list. If you go to System Settings > Region & Language > Layouts again, you'll notice the up and down arrow that let you reorder the list. Move the layout you want by default to the top. Does that help ?
I have a single layout. But, to answer your question, if I was to do that (first adding a new layout), then the problem goes away until the next login. Extra info: It's very likely that this fresh install used a en_US (the default) when I installed it, and then I switched it after install.
This bug seems to have disappeared! I will update in a week if it has gone.
This bug has come back again. Workaround from comment 3 is required.
> Logging in and out again resets the keyboard layout. @Matthias Clasen: not being able to use the keyboard in my language is quite a big bug. Please can you up severity?
This should be fixed by this commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=8a06ffc512 which is fixed in gdm-3.4.0.1 we should probably back port the fix in f16
hmm f16 already has that fix
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
