Description Kamil Páral 2023-09-18 10:33:05 UTC
This is a downstream bug just for blocker review purposes. The upstream bug is here:
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1767

And we have even more confirmations in bug 2187858.

Proposing for a blocker discussion. The most relevant criterion is likely this one:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Final_Release_Criteria#Keyboard_layout_configuration

The correct layout is *used*, but the indicator is wrong, confusing users and possibly making them to interact with the indicator. (We should also check whether you might have configured a keymap variant which is not displayed in the indicator, what happens then for such a confused user).

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2023-09-25 17:24:54 UTC
FEDORA-2023-ac13d65dac has been submitted as an update to Fedora 39. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-ac13d65dac

Discussed during the 2023-09-25 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker (Final)" was made as, while it's a slight stretch, we view this as an effective violation of the keyboard layout criterion: the layout chosen during install *is* used, but a prominent indicator says it isn't, which is very confusing. Also, attempting to switch using the indicator doesn't work.

I can confirm that the keyboard layout selector is gone, thus "solving" this problem.

Comment 5 Geraldo Simião 2023-09-26 14:56:13 UTC
yeah, confirmed that too, sddm-0.20.0-4.fc39
