In addition to this, though the number of console keymaps systemd understands may not be a regression, it is contributing to one. All this is explained in the bug and in my earlier comment, but the problem is that anaconda in F18 is now simply offering the user the entire xkb list of keymaps. In F17 it offered some kind of hand-weeded (and fairly small) list of keymaps which was presumably then carefully supervised through later config steps: in F18, it just gives you the entire xkb list to choose from, and then uses systemd-localed to try and configure a corresponding console layout for whatever you pick. As discussed in the bug, if systemd-localed is doing 'fuzzy matching' it may be the case that we actually get a decent match for most layouts, I'll have to do more testing. But the situation is clearly different to the F17 one in that we are now relying on systemd-localed to map xkb layouts to console ones, where we really weren't before. There is certainly at least a potential for regression here. The systemd-localed list of keymaps may not have regressed but it has taken on more significance. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
