#366 Anaconda Web UI requirement: Ability to select a language and keyboard for installer and live session
Closed: Fixed 8 months ago by catanzaro. Opened a year ago by jkonecny.

Based on these two requirements https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/362#comment-847926:

  • Ability to select a language for installer and live session
  • Ability to select a keyboard for installer (required for configuring the time, setting a disk encryption password, and potentially for other disk configuration) and live session

Our proposal:
UI for selecting Live environment language and keyboard will be on Workstation SIG because they have the best knowledge of UI guidelines and technology

Output of this task would be setting the language and keyboard layout into the system but also creating a configuration file for Anaconda (using drop dir). Anaconda team will provide you a configuration field to pre-select the Anaconda language.

Questions:

  • Do you agree with this solution? Is it feasible for F39?
  • Do we want to show language selection screen in Anaconda or skip this in case of pre-selected language?

  • Do you agree with this solution? Is it feasible for F39?

We think this is feasible for F39, yes.

  • Do we want to show language selection screen in Anaconda or skip this in case of pre-selected language?

Skip if it's pre-selected. Let's only show these language and keyboard layout once.

Anaconda team will provide you a configuration field to pre-select the Anaconda language.

Anaconda needs to copy the pre-selected keyboard layout and input method to the installed system as well.

This issue is tracking the work to add a live user mode to gnome-initial-setup - that work can be found here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-initial-setup/-/merge_requests/200

This is mostly implemented, although I've proposed this issue as a release blocker.

I don't think we need a separate ticket to track this here anymore, so closing.
