Description of problem: I set my keyboard mapping to 'dvorak' during installation and it was ignored when I rebooted after installing updates (updates might be the cause of it). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17. How reproducible: I installed Fedora twice, it happened twice. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 17. 2. During the first start UI, set the keyboard layout to dvorak. 3. Dvorak is used when the system boots. 4. Install update. (don't know if that is a required step) 5. Reboot Actual results: Keyboard layout is back to en-US Expected results: Keyboard layout is still dvorak Additional info: It wasn't possible to copy user settings to system settings during the first boot.
What's the contents of /etc/vconsole.conf? And /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf?
/etc/vconsole.conf: KEYMAP=us /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf: # Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file # manually too freely. Section "InputClass" Identifier "system-keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak-alt-intl" EndSection
Hmm, I guess the translation table in /usr/share/systemd/kbd-model-map simply doesn't know "dvorak-alt-intl", and hence cares only about "us" and hence gives you a non-dvorak map. The fix is easy, we just should include "dvorak-alt-intl" in the table.
