Description Kristoffer Grundström 2019-02-23 00:43:05 CET

Description of problem: I know I selected to use Swedish as a language for the installation as I've seen this in numerous previous installations with the net installation iso. Once getting to the stage where I type my full name which is Kristoffer Grundström, neither 3 letters in the alphabet works and there's no visible option in the installer to either correct it manually or have it automatically fixed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 17.88.3

How reproducible: At least 4 installations.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the installation.
2. Choose Swedish as language.
3. Choose MATE, GNOME and Cinnamon as Desktops (in case it matters to recreate the issue).
4. At the field to create the user type a name that contains any of the three last letters in the Swedish alphabet. Ö becomes ;

If it matters the language in Gnome when you start it for the first time after the installation shows that it's set to use en as keyboard layout and that's wrong if I choose Swedish in the installation.

I have also seen this when installation Cauldron using the net installation iso.

Please attach /root/drakx/report.bug.xz from your last cauldron net install.

I think you did not get a keyboard choice screen right after you saw the "Install or Upgrade" screen, is that correct?

If both versions of Mageia with the same installation procedure produce the same problem, I suppose it doesn't matter which report.bug.xz I attach.

This looks like bug 23877. When did you last try a cauldron install?

Not entirely sure, but I think it was about 1-2 weeks ago.

Comment 8 Martin Whitaker 2019-02-24 21:29:29 CET

I can reproduce this with a 6.1 netinstall, but not with a cauldron netinstall. The ';' key gives me Ö.
