keymap can not be set after netboot text install
Last modified: 2013-09-29 14:09:47 EDT
Description of problem: The keymap can not be set by using localectl Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F19 Alpha netboot image How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get image and launch a text mode installatio in vm and install system 2. Login to the console as root 3. run: localectl set-keymap de 4. run: cat /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAP=de 5. run: localectl System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 VC Keymap: de X11 Layout: de X11 Model: pc105 X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp 6. Press "z" key, "y" appears on the screen - darn! 7. run loadkeys de Lade /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de.map.gz. 8. Press "z" key, "z" appears on the screen - wuhu! Actual results: Keymap can not be set using localectl Expected results: Additional info:
What is the output of: # systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service after running # localectl set-keymap de ??? I think systemd only updates tty0 by restarting systemd-vconsole-setup.service. If tty[1-9] are already used, they will not be updated by localectl.

What is the contents of /proc/cmdline? (background: the kernel command line setting always overrides system config, hence you can set localectl as many times as you wish to set the locale settings, as long as something is written in /proc/cmdline to override it is ignore...)
