Description Sébastien Morin 2021-01-29 05:59:50 CET
Description of problem:
The keyboard layout selected by the user is not taken into account

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia-8-rc-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso (dated Jan 27)

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot on the ISO mentionned above. Press F2 and select French language, then click on Install Mageia Live

2. Select French language again and accept license. Go on with the installation until asked for your keyboard configuration and choose Français (bépo)

3. When you reach the Bootloader Setup screen, test your layout in the “delay” entry box: the keyboard layout at this stage is still qwerty. This could cause problems if the user wants to set up a password for the bootloader, as only dots will be shown when setting up the bootloader password.

4. Finish the installation and reboot as requested. At first reboot, the installer will download repository files, then ask the user to set up a user name, and root/user passwords. At this stage, the keyboard is French BÉPO, as requested at the beginning. Good keyboard layout inside Plasma.

This is bug 23946, which was wrongly closed as fixed. I've reopened that bug, as it contains my diagnosis, so setting this one to be the duplicate.
