Description Knut Alejandro Anderssen González 2016-10-13 12:24:53 UTC

Could be a duplicate of this one https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000565 but I still have the issue.

During installation I choose Spanish keyboard but after first boot, it users English keyboard instead of Spanish one.

If I set KEYTABLE as "es" or "Spanish" in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard it works.

Knut, I cannot believe I have to tell you this: please attach YaST logs :-)

Too bad we do not log the exact error. But I will try to reproduce it (and to improve logging in the process).

In my opinion this is a GNOME bug. I will explain why. 

I did 2 different installations of Leap42.2 Beta3. One with KDE and another one with GNOME. None of them configured to perform automatic login of the user (to allow me to test the result before the desktop environment comes into play).

At the end of the installation, both system look correct from the localectl point of view. That is, if you run localectl you will get:
    VC KEYMAP: es
   X11 Layout: es
    X11 Model: pc105
  X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

And X11 configuration is also fine in both systems. That is:
 Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "es"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
 EndSection

In that regard, the error mentioned in comment#3 is irrelevant. Curious enough it only happened to me in the GNOME installation and not in the KDE one. Anyways, as mentioned, system configuration looks fine (and identical) after reboot in both systems.

In the KDE system, I logged into IceWM and everything was perfect. Same when I logged into KDE.

In the GNOME system, I logged into IceWM and everythig was again perfect. But when I logged into GNOME the keyboard selector in the top bar had two options: "es" and "en". The surprising part is that "en" was selected, resulting in an English keyboard layout.

I don't know where is getting that default GNOME, but looks wrong to me.

This is automated batch bugzilla cleanup.

The openSUSE 42.2 changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or you can still observe it under openSUSE Leap 15.0, please
feel free to reopen this bug against that version (see the "Version"
component in the bug fields), or alternatively open
a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
