So, say you're a Japanese (or whatever) user, and you make a
normal choice
at the keyboard layout spoke in anaconda. What do you choose?
Since anaconda only provides XKB keymaps as options (i.e. no IBus engines) such
a user will most likely choose either the US layout or the Japanase layout
which is an ASCII layout with some minor differences to the US layout in
punctuation key locations.
What keyboard
layout actually winds up being used during gnome-initial-setup and first
login?
The layouts chosen in anaconda. In our case above either US or Japanese or even
both.
What are the practical consequences of this? Are we talking minor
inconvenience, complete inability to create a user account, or what? Thanks!
So in F19 there are actually 2 ways to create user accounts. During
installation in anaconda or, if you don't do it there, during a special run of
gnome-initial-setup that GDM runs when there are no users created yet.
In the first case GDM comes up normally and the layouts available there are the
ones configured in anaconda. When the user logs into this account the "regular"
gnome-initial-setup runs and again those same layouts are there but now the
user can add more layouts or input methods (in case any IBus IMEs are
installed). I.e. our Japanese user can now add Japanese (Anthy) and start using
it right away.
In the case where the user account isn't created in anaconda GDM initially
presents the "expanded" gnome-initial-setup that allows you to create an
account. But as far as input methods are concerned it works as described above.
We're also interested to see what the impact of the fix for
958714 will be
on this bug.
Just that the list won't come up empty as it does now.
