It seems that the virtual console layout is migrated ok, but the x11
part is not. This is what I get on my two upgraded F18 boxes:
[root@turre ~]# localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: fi
X11 Layout: n/a
[root@turre ~]#
The "n/a" part is the "problem" as it falls back to US keyboard.
localectl manual says both set-keymap and set-x11-keymap apply to both
the keymaps unless --no-convert is specified, but that doesn't seem to
happen in practise:
[root@turre ~]# localectl set-keymap fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: fi
X11 Layout: n/a
[root@turre ~]# localectl set-x11-keymap fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: fi-latin1
X11 Layout: fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl set-keymap fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: fi
X11 Layout: fi
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
It's a bit bizarre: set-keymap doesn't seem to find "fi" as the closest
matching keyboard for x11 (it probably should), set-x11-keymap considers
"fi-latin1" to be the closest matching keymap for "fi", but in this
specific order its possible to get both set to "fi". Only it now adds
additional model + options there, whatever the reason.
- Panu -
The "conversion" (as systemd-localed calls it) works really
poorly also
for the Czech keymaps/layouts. 'cz' X11 layout is "converted" to
'cz-lat2' which works like 'us' until you hit the "Pause Break"
key.
This is really unfortunate especially when people set their LUKS
password in Anaconda with the 'cz' X11 layout activated and then they
are supposed to enter it again with the 'cz-lat2' keymap during boot.
