- Install Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso in qemu.

  Commandline used for qemu was:

ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -m 2048M -smp 1 -drive file=./Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2/Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso -boot c -vga std -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5560-:22 -monitor stdio -usb

- Select Japanese
- Select to install on whole disk
- Select Timezone
- Select default Gnome install
- continue with installation

after the first reboot, gnome-initial-setup shows up

After selecting the language there, one can add input sources.

Comment 1 Mike FABIAN 2013-03-28 07:13:05 UTC
After adding some keyboards as input source and selecting one
in the list of input sources, clicking  on the keyboard icon
a the bottom right does nothing.

See screen shot.

Screen shot from “gnome-control-center region”  in rawhide
showing that a keybord layout is graphically displayed when
clicking that button.

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2013-03-28 08:04:12 UTC
FWIW I managed to display US layout from g-i-s in German today
but I haven't tried with other layout/language combinations.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2013-04-15 07:11:40 UTC
Keyboard layout preview is not working for me in F19 alpha gnome-control-center.
So maybe this is a control-center bug?

control-center-3.8.0-3.fc19

I will retest in gnome-initial-setup next time I do an install.

Comment 5 Mike FABIAN 2013-04-16 07:11:05 UTC
I still see the problem on Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.

ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -m 2048M -smp 4 -drive file=./Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3/Fedora-19-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso -boot c -spice port=6000,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5560-:22 -monitor stdio -usb

- Select Japanese
- Select to install on whole disk
- Select Timezone
- Select default Gnome install
- continue with installation

after the first reboot, gnome-initial-setup shows up

After selecting the language there, one can add input sources.

Only question marks are shown because of bug#949525. But one can search for
“(US” and get 

    ?? (US)

as a match (which is the English (US) keyboard layout)).

Select that.

Then click on the keyboard icon at the lower right.

Nothing happens, no keyboard is displayed.

It does not work for me either in gnome-control-center.

After continuing the Fedora-19-Alpha-RC3-x86_64-DVD.iso install from
comment#5 until the gnome session is reached, I start

    gnome-control-center region

select the keyboard which I added before in gnome-initial-setup
(now displayed correctly as “英語 (US)) and try to click
the keyboard icon at the bottom right.

Nothing happens here either.

Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2013-04-16 16:04:30 UTC
Does running

gkbd-keyboard-display -l us

or 

gkbd-keyboard-display -l de

manually work ?

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2013-04-17 05:23:14 UTC
Okay the problem seems to be that libgnomekbd is not installed by default.

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2013-04-17 05:40:55 UTC
Maybe the preview button should also be disabled if
gkbd-keyboard-display is not available.

Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2013-05-26 01:45:32 UTC
control-center now has an explicit requires for /usr/bin/gkbd-keyboard-display
