Keyboard Layout settings changes are not taken into account correctly!
Last modified: 2021-03-09 11:50:37 UTC
# 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 of openSUSE 11.0 Alpha2 I selected: Language = English(US) Keyboard Layout = French I see the "Downloading language extension" message. In the "Installation Settings" window the section "Keyboard window" indicates that the keyboard layout is French (e.g. "azerty") but the working keyboard layout is still "querty" This is very annoying on a laptop.... 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). To resume, 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 Test machine is a T60 Thinkpad with 3 Go RAM Here is an update # 1 I just re installed Alpha 2 again 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 tried to type "su -" I couldn't help noticing that the "querty" keyboard settings were (once again) active (This is a problem because I have a "azerty" keyboard on my T60.) # 2 When I tried to change the keyboard settings to French via the "SaX2: X11 Configuration" window - section "Keyboard Properties" the changes were not taken into account. (This to me is a separate distinct bug) I would greatly appreciated if these problems were corrected for the next release.

Here the YaST logs that you requested With regards to my Update Point #1 comment After more testing it would appear that I can set the keyboard settings to FRENCH (azerty) but when I reboot the default "querty" keyboard configuration settings are once again active.
