Re: Fedora 28 Change: gnome-initial-setup no longer displays Keyboard pane (so cannot select an input method)

Well, I always found the keyboard setup in GIS redundant. But maybe is possible to add an input setup to Anaconda? Together with keyboard maybe? So the keyboard thing in Gnome Initial Setup wouldn't be needed.

Hi folks!

I just wanted to flag up a change in Fedora 28 which will unfortunately
likely be a problem for folks who use input methods:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1474787

This change considers the input panels in anaconda and g-i-s to be
'redundant', and so disables the one in g-i-s, on the theory that you
should've just picked a keyboard layout in anaconda. Unfortunately,
anaconda doesn't understand input methods, you can't set up an input
method from anaconda. So if you need an input method (not just a
keyboard layout), you now have no way to configure it before you reach
the desktop; you have to know to go into Control Center and configure
it after you reach the desktop.

I guess this is no worse than the situation for any desktop other than
GNOME, but still, it's a step backwards there.

CJK folks especially, please be aware of this and let your community
know about it, if we don't get it changed somehow by release :/
