Description Alexandr Bezenkov 2012-06-03 20:30:36 CEST

Description of problem: If you choose Russian during Cauldron installation everything is smooth and fine, except that after starting newly installed system you can barely read Russian language label in system tray layout indicator because it has something like 'ru(winkeys)' written on it instead of simply 'ru'. The funniest thing is that if you change indication type to 'show flag' or 'show label on flag' and then back to 'show label' in KDE keyboard settings 'Layouts' tab and press 'Apply' the label will become simply 'ru' and will stay like this.
Not really big problem of course, I`m not even sure if it is a bug or a feature :)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Not sure which one of the components handles this, KDE 4.8.2 - default one for Cauldron.

How reproducible:
After every Russian installation with KDE, tested twice.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose Russian as your main installation language.
2. Install Cauldron with KDE
3. Login to newly installed system and look to your layouts indicator in system tray, try switching layouts.

still valid with kde4.9 ? if yes maybe you should report it at upstream

Comment 2 Alexandr Bezenkov 2012-08-30 15:49:35 CEST

Sorry for mistyping, the version is not Cauldron, but Mageia 2. Where can I get Cauldron for testing?

Version: Cauldron => 2

Comment 3 Alex Loginov 2012-09-28 20:55:18 CEST

In systemsettings must be how you can see on picture (in attachment):
Map      Layout        Variant       Label       Shortcut
us       English(US)                 en
ru       Russian       winkeys       ru

But now:
Map      Layout        Variant       Label       Shortcut
us       English(US)                 en
ru       Russian       winkeys       ru(

Problem is in ru( - must be ru

you have the alpha1, it seems an upstream issue, anyway a minor bug

Keywords: NEEDINFO => UPSTREAM

Comment 6 Alex Loginov 2013-03-30 15:16:30 CET

It is not an upstream issue. I built my own distro, and no problem in KDE. No problem in Rosa also.
This bug is only in official Mageia distro.

Hardware: i586 => All
Version: 2 => Cauldron

I'm not sure it's KDE bug. If you search in Google for 'X' layout setting, then for several years instead of:

Option          "XkbLayout"     "us,ru(winkeys)"

option is offered:

Option          "XkbLayout"     "us,ru" 
Option          "XkbVariant"    ",winkeys"

And we see by default in Mageia the following:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
XkbModel=pc105
GRP_TOGGLE=alt_shift_toggle
XkbLayout="us,ru(winkeys)"
KEYBOARD=ru
KEYTABLE=ru4
XkbOptions=grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin

All the problems with the layout of the map is here. If to replace XkbLayout="us,ru(winkeys)" on XkbLayout="us,ru", then the map layout in KDE will be normal, and all keys Menu and Win works normally.

Please, fix this bug in RC. This bug is in Mageia soft.

Error is in soft/drakx-kbd-mouse-x11/trunk/lib/keyboard.pm:
"ru" => [ N_("_: keyboard\nRussian"),        "ru4",             "ru(winkeys)", 1 ],
Must be:

Please correct, rebuild the package drakx-kbd-mouse-x11. The solution is to 

Bug traced back to the second version. On Mageia 3 RC he stayed.
