Description Saurav Sengupta 2017-07-11 08:42:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to install Fedora 26, selecting English (India) in the first screen as the language for the installation and clicking the Continue button. The backtrace has a line saying that the corresponding (keyboard) layout could not be selected. This worked fine in the Fedora 26 Beta image.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-core-26.21.11-1.fc26.x86_64

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:

Comment 11 Saurav Sengupta 2017-07-11 08:46:35 UTC 
A workaround is to select English (United States) or English (United Kingdom) and then changing the keyboard layout and/or time zone in the next screen as required.
Comment 12 Saurav Sengupta 2017-07-11 09:12:20 UTC 
Correction to comment #11: the keyboard layout still cannot be changed to English (India, with rupee) in the next screen. The time zone can, however, be changed to Asia/Kolkata, which is to be expected as this seems to concern the keyboard layout only.
Comment 13 Saurav Sengupta 2017-07-11 11:59:03 UTC 
It is also not possible to select the English (India, with rupee) layout after installation - trying to do so crashes GNOME Shell and prevents further logins until the layout is erased from org.gnome.desktop.input-sources, sources. Currency signs can be added using GNOME Tweak Tool or by editing org.gnome.desktop.input-sources, xkb-options. Trying to select the layout in question in GNOME Initial Setup also creates the same problem. Trying to report the crash finds the duplicate bug #1398142.

Comment 31 Vendula Poncova 2017-09-04 17:47:52 UTC 
There is a missing comma in a configuration file. Then it works fine.

It was already fixed:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=b3fb72308942f705e3e8e17765e4097773ed5483

So it should be fine once xkeyboard-config-2.22 is released.

Comment 36 Saurav Sengupta 2017-09-12 05:19:31 UTC 
The upgrade works fine on an installed system, but this still doesn't (understandably) resolve the issue in the Anaconda installer on the live image. A new ISO image with the upgrade included would help future installations.
Comment 37 Saurav Sengupta 2017-09-12 05:23:17 UTC 
Also, it won't work in GNOME Initial Setup unless xkeyboard-config is upgraded first.

Fedora (famously) never issues updated installation images after the point-0 release.

At least the release notes/list of common bugs could be updated to inform users of this bug and the relevant upgrade which resolves it.
