Description Ricard Alfe 2020-10-11 20:10:19 CEST
Description of problem:
It does not give the option of Spanish or other language during the installation

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 7.1

How reproducible:
yes

Steps to Reproduce:

1.during the installation

2.inside kde configuration, the keyboard of the terminals ctr + alt + f2, f3 ... is not configured.

Well, it is about solving the problem of the dvorak keyboard with locales in Spanish during the installation and modifications of locales in kde and terminal. I solve it like this

	- modify those indicated with arrows in file /etc/vconsole.conf
			FONT=lat0-16
		----->	KEYMAP=dvorak-es

	 -modify those indicated with arrows in file  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
			Section "InputClass"
 			       Identifier "system-keyboard"
 			       MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    		-----> 	       Option "XkbLayout" "es"
 			       Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
			        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
			        Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
			EndSection

	-modify those indicated with arrows in file /etc/default/keyboard

			KEYBOARD=dvorak  <-------
		        KEYTABLE=dvorak  <-------
			XKBMODEL=pc105
			XKBLAYOUT=es    <-------
			XKBVARIANT=
			XKBOPTIONS=

Thank you for this detailed report, and the nicely annotated file corrections you researched and showed.
This is likely to be true for Cauldron (MGA8) also, so I have changed the release. And other languages with dvorak keyboards?

Assigning to tools group for the installer; CC'ing Martin.

I do not know if you ask if it happens in other languages, if so I confirm that it does. It is only necessary to change in vconsole according to list / usr / lib / kbd / keymaps / i386 / dvorak and in the other files the variable "is" according to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst

sorry "is"  --------->  "es"

I've added entries for Spanish, German, and Latin American Dvorak keyboard layouts to the keyboard layout table used by the installer and the drakx tools. These are the only Dvorak layouts that weren't already included that are supported both by loadkeys and by xkb.

Fix released in drakx-kbd=mouse-x11 1.30. Will be included in next ISO build.
We don't normally update the ISOs for stable releases except to fix critical bugs, so I think this is a won't fix for Mageia 7.
