Description of problem: In the beginning of Mageia install, when I want to choose my type of keyboard, Apple keyboards is missing. Just a tiny feature, but very useful for Mac users. How reproducible: Installing Mageia (second or third step from the beginning) PS: If you don't understand what I mean because of my english, just tell me and I will post screenshots. Regards, Michael

(In reply to comment #1) > (setting to cauldron as it's an enhancement request) > > also you have more option in drakkeyboard Yes, that's what I did when Mageia was installed. But it's quite disturbing when you're installing Mageia and you have to define a password and so on... Do I have to change the ticket status as RESOLVED or something like this ? (it's my first ticket) Anyway, many thanks Manuel. Michael

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #3) > @Marja: want to land one more keyboard layout in keyboarddrake :-) ? Sure, but I fail to see how another layout can solve this problem :-/ If I understand correctly what Michael wrote, then not being able to select an Apple keyboard _type_ in installer is the problem: (In reply to Michael Girard from comment #0) > Description of problem: In the beginning of Mageia install, when I want to > choose my type of keyboard, Apple keyboards is missing.

The selectKeyboard step in installer does indeed not provide an option to select Keyboard type: http://doc.mageia.org/installer/5/en/content/images/dx2-selectKeyboard.png However, Keyboarddrake does have that option in the bottom half of the screen: http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/images/keyboarddrake.png @ Michael Did I correctly understand you? @ Thierry I do currently fail to see, from /drakx/perl-install/install/steps_interactive.pm sub selectKeyboard from /drakx/perl-install/install/detect_devices.pm and from /drakx-kbd-mouse-x11/lib/keyboard.pm how installer detects and sets the keyboard type. (But I didn't yet look at the other pm files that are used and I should learn Perl :-/ )
Thx, I forgot that this isn't the same screen as in keyboarddrake. In installer, we first try get a small list matching the locale, using keyboard::lang2keyboards() If that fails, we displays the full list that we got from keyboard::KEYBOARDs(). We also displays this full list with the "More" button if we have a small list.

I wrongly assumed that the the kbd keyboard names would be the same for mac keyboards, only the paths different, but there's e.g. /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz and /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/mac/all/mac-us.map.gz "mac-us", so the name already tells it's an Apple. And for xkb it already wasn't a problem. I'll add the keyboard this weekend.

And in current Cauldron installer
(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #8) > Resolved in git (In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #9) > And in current Cauldron installer Tbh, i had left this report open, because the fix hasn't been tested. Of my contributions to Mageia, this is the one that i had (and have) most doubts about. @ Michael Girard Would you be able to test the fix with a network install, or with a 6sta1 traditional install once the 6sta1 isos are released? Once the fix is confirmed to work, I'll update the .pot and .po files for the translators.
