/etc/sysconfig/keyboard reset to US on first boot
Last modified: 2009-10-30 10:03:34 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090912 SUSE/1.1.18-1.2 SeaMonkey/1.1.18 I set Language to German in syslinux/isolinux. The Live-System ran fine with German keyboard. The installer set German as default language, but after the ejection of my (unused) CD-tray and reboot, /etc/sysconfig/keyboard was reset back to US layout before or during the configuration phase that only happens on first boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build0336-i686.iso (I tried on VirtualBox-3.0.8 and 2 Laptops) 2. in isolinux press F2 and choose "Deutsch" (German) 3. install to a partition of at least 2.9GB. 4. verify that /mnt/etc/sysconfig/keyboard contains something other than KEYTABLE="us.map.gz" - should look like https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=320874 5. reboot Actual Results: /etc/sysconfig/keyboard looks thus after the configuration-phase of first boot: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=320877 Accordingly, both X11/gdm and console keyboard layout are US (e.g. y and z switched) Expected Results: The installed system should use the language selected on the first installation screen (the one that also contains Novell Eula). I did also see this bug in MS6-MS8 ; also once with KDE-Live-i686 should be different from bug 542009 which was fixed before RC1 maybe it is same as bug 545025
Could you, please, attach the installation log so that we can check what went wrong during installation?
Created attachment 323101 [details] yast2 logs after configuration
Not only sysconfig/keyboard but also sysconfig/language is reverted to default. Checking before reboot relieves these are correct under /media/<installed_disk>
This bug did not occur on a RC1-DVD install (7GB disk, LVM, KDE) - so might be related to LiveCD methods?
On "rc2" (build 337 kde4 i686 live cd) I select Danish at grub, during installation Danish keyboard layout is selected. On first boot US keyboard layout is used, and this sticks on subsequent boots, even though I select Danish layout in KDE systemsettings, it just reverts back. In /etc/sysconfig/keyboard I have: YAST_KEYBOARD="english-us,pc104"
dup But note that KDE systemsettings is not relevant here, it does not change system settings *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 550874 ***
Yes. Only indirectly I think. I believe on the (first) KDE start KDE settings are adjusted according to the sysconfig settings somehow.
