Installer - keyboard
Not big issue, but installer's CZECH keyboard is totally wrong. (After boot everything is o.k.)
Re: Installer - keyboard
Which one exactly did you try? The installer offers three Czech keymaps:
- cz-cp1250
- cz-lat2-prog
- cz-lat2
I can also see that after installation and if you run keyboardsetup/gtkkeyboardsetup, two additional keymaps are available:
- cz-us-qwertz
- cz
All of them, except the qwertz one, correspond to the cz keymap in Xorg. I have no idea which one is the prominent one for Czech, or even if all of them are used equally. We can certainly add the two missing ones in the installer for the next release, but it would be nice if you could try them all and report which one is the right one for you.

I am old man with bad memory....can not remember, but think that I tried more then one Czech keyboard during installation (all was bad....it typed special characters instead letters).gapan wrote:Which one exactly did you try? The installer offers three Czech keymaps:

Setting keyboard and keyboard map after installation was smooth.
Multilingual installer....isn't it unnecessary work? Everyone can change users and passwords after install.
Intaller...maybe add some warning about Elilo for beginners...I expected behavior like Grub2...chainload boot with Window$...and two entries instead in bios was big surprise for me...
Keyboard in Czech republic....Majority ("normal" users) use QWERZ. (Tradition...typewriters.) "Computer" people usually QWERTY.
(I can try czech keyboards in installer....put here link to ISO. Hybrid ISO...if exist pls. Or via mail.)

How exactly did you do that? Which tool did you use?geront wrote:Setting keyboard and keyboard map after installation was smooth.
It's not a multilingual installer. It's a multi-keymap installer. People need to know what they're typing.geront wrote:Multilingual installer.... isn't it unnecessary work?
Not if they don't even know the password they used, if they used the wrong keymap.geront wrote:Everyone can change users and passwords after install.
I don't agree. What kind of warning? It's already really obvious that (e)lilo is used.geront wrote:Intaller...maybe add some warning about Elilo for beginners...
Why? It is not grub, it's (e)lilo.geront wrote:I expected behavior like Grub2...
That's how UEFI works. And elilo cannot boot anything other than linux anyway.geront wrote:chainload boot with Window$...and two entries instead in bios was big surprise for me...
Unfortunately that doesn't answer my question. I need to know the exact keymap, not a description of it. Switch to a real terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 for example), log in, rungeront wrote:Keyboard in Czech republic....Majority ("normal" users) use QWERZ. (Tradition...typewriters.)

Code: Select all
sudo keyboardsetup
There is no installer other than the one you already used, so no idea what link you're asking about here.geront wrote:I can try czech keyboards in installer....put here link to ISO. Hybrid ISO...if exist pls. Or via mail.)
Re: Installer - keyboard
I just realized there are no missing cz keymaps in the installer after all. These 3 are under the qwerty section:
- cz-cp1250
- cz-lat2-prog
- cz-lat2
and these 2 are under the qwertz section (where they should be):
- cz-us-qwertz
- cz
So you really have to pick the one that matches your keyboard. Nothing more than that.
- cz-cp1250
- cz-lat2-prog
- cz-lat2
and these 2 are under the qwertz section (where they should be):
- cz-us-qwertz
- cz

Something like system>choices>keyboard>layout...CZECH QWERTY with backslash and everything is o.k.gapan wrote:How exactly did you do that? Which tool did you use?geront wrote:Setting keyboard and keyboard map after installation was smooth.
During installation there was rectangles instead national characters. Maybe it is only Lenovo S210T problem? (It has some keyboard "enhancements")...I am only user.

I thought tat you want to test keyboard in some new version of installer.gapan wrote:There is no installer other than the one you already used, so no idea what link you're asking about here.
Re: Installer - keyboard
This is the message that appears in the installer, when you've just selected the keymap. You definitely saw this message, but you probably didn't read it.geront wrote:During installation there was rectangles instead national characters. Maybe it is only Lenovo S210T problem?

That should make it clear I think.You may now test the new keyboard map by typing some text. You can accept the keyboard map or reject it and select another one. The installer only supports ASCII characters, so don't try any special characters here or use them during installation!
