[opensuse-factory] Keyboard Layout settings changes are not taken into account correctly!
Hello all # Problem The Keyboard Layout settings which in my case is French (azerty) are not taken into account until very late in the installation process # Problem Details In the "Languages" window screen during the installation I selected Language = English(US) Keyboard Layout = French I see "Downloading language extension" message. In the "Installation Settings" window the section "Keyboard window" indicates French but the keyboard layout is still mode "querty" This is very annoying .... try making a custom partition setup when the keyboard configuration is set "querty" when you have a "azerty" key board - I can never remember where to look for "/" or "+" under "querty" settings. In the "Create New User" window, keyboard layout is still mode "querty" In the "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window the Layout settings are correct (in mode azerty). My tests show that the keyboard Layout settings changes made in the "Languages" window screen (which is the very first window one sees during the installation process) are not taken into until "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window. Note : 11.0-Alpha2 was installed using the 11.0-Alpha2 DVD which was made from the openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1_Alpha2-DVD-i386.delta.iso # other details md5sum openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso c307b5f1570511897b787ca11ae092df openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso Any help or comments appreciated Regards James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
# Problem Details In the "Languages" window screen during the installation I selected Language = English(US) Keyboard Layout = French
I see "Downloading language extension" message.
In the "Installation Settings" window the section "Keyboard window" indicates French but the keyboard layout is still mode "querty"
Sorry to reply to my own message but here is an update
# 1
I just re installed Alpha 2 and the keyboard settings were OK when I set the root password
but when I rebooted into KDE 4 and opened a konsole window and typied "su -" I could help
notice taht "querty" keyboard settings were (once again) active.
# 2
When I tried to change them to French via the "SaX2: X11
Configuration" window - section "Keyboard Properties" the changes were not taken into
account.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Regards
James

Hello all
# Problem The Keyboard Layout settings which in my case is French (azerty) are not taken into account until very late in the installation process
This is very annoying .... try making a custom partition setup when the keyboard configuration is set "querty" when you have a "azerty" key board - I can never remember where to look for "/" or "+" under "querty" settings.
In the "Create New User" window, keyboard layout is still mode "querty"
In the "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window the Layout settings are correct (in mode azerty).
My tests show that the keyboard Layout settings changes made in the "Languages" window screen (which is the very first window one sees during the installation process) are not taken into until "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window.
Note : 11.0-Alpha2 was installed using the 11.0-Alpha2 DVD which was made from the openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1_Alpha2-DVD-i386.delta.iso

Any help or comments appreciated
