Description Lieven De Puysseleir 2014-02-02 19:57:59 CET

Fresh install using pxe + kernel/initrd from boot.iso
Selected Belgium keyboard which is azerty
After install is finished, login manager is on qwerty
Login and run keyboarddrake to select azerty
After reboot the keyboard is back on qwerty

expected result: keyboard in login manager and in desktop environment should be the one I selected during install or at least after keyboarddrake



How reproducible:
Just reinstall from scratch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install from scratch
2. select Belgium keyboard
3. reboot and marvell at the qwerty layout.


On a sidenote:
I have installed 2 times:
1. nuc intel core i3 environment with KDE desktop + KDM
2. amd e450 platform with on chip ati radeon
Both had the same issue.



Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Lieven De Puysseleir 2014-02-03 14:00:49 CET

new results:

reboot system + ctrl-alt-fx to login with console:
- username is azerty now but backspace and del not working
- password is also azerty

reboot system and login to kdm where all is set to azerty now as it's supposed to be.

One additional change is that I use a logitech K120 azerty keyboard instead of a wireless logitech K400 keyboard / mousepad combo.

Did not test on the lxdm/lxde setup yet. This are results from KDM / KDE setup.

@Thierry: This is not the first time I see reports from Belgian users having issue with the Belgium keyboard layout.

Maybe their could be an issue with the language choice (supposing it was Flemish) that would force a nl_BE locale and mess up the keyboard choice?

Any chance fixing 3723 could have fixed this bug also? 

There's a way to check, Lieven, if developers don't answer the above question: just test Mageia 5RC. We can't fix Mageia 4's installer, anyway, so we need to know if it's still valid in Mageia 5.

Installer and Release bugs should always be set to cauldron, because once the isos for a stable version have been created, they cannot be changed.

This bug was filed very long ago, for Mageia 4. Was this bug still valid for Mageia 5?

(If so, please do _not_ set the version to "5". Only asking because if it was still valid for Mageia 5, that then we'll know we'll have to pay attention to this issue when testing the 6 alpha's and later).

Please close this bug report if the problem was solved in Mageia 5hhhh

Version: 4 => Cauldron

Comment 5 Rémi Verschelde 2015-09-21 11:41:57 CEST

Lieven, could you test Mageia 5 or Cauldron? Does it show the same issue?

If yes, could you post the output of "locale" and "locale -a"?

Comment 6 Lieven De Puysseleir 2015-09-21 20:10:24 CEST

Meanwhile, I installed M5 on my desktop at home from network install and there was no issue with the keyboard selection whatsoever.

Comment 7 Rémi Verschelde 2015-09-21 20:40:10 CEST

Thanks, closing as OLD then.
