Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] bug report VLSOHO1.26 - more

Hello,

1.26, r802:

I did a little more testing with regional settings and languages in mind. Here are
a couple issues I came across:

-kde language packs do not get installed (i.e. not on cd1 or cd2)

-Installer options that don't seem to affect KDM/KDE:
     -Regional Settings: used spanish installer, latin america keyboard mapping, 104 keyboard
     -At user creation: checked the "use regional settings for user" option
     -First boot: configuration using vxconf asks about keyboard mapping/layout even though I
      chose the 'use regional settings for user' option mentioned above. I went ahead and chose
      default us/102 keyboard.
     -kdm uses new vxconf settings (us/102 keyboard mappings)
     -kde uses new vxconf settings for user (us/102 keyboard mappings)
     -In other words, the 'use regional settings for user' option at user account creation does
      not seem to have any effect. Either that, or it's overwritten during vxconf configuration.
     -I would expect that if a user checks the "use regional settings for user" option that they
      would not like to have to repeat that step during the first boot.
-I can certainly understand the complexities of making all of these little things work
 as a user may expect, especially when user expectations may be misguided. I'm only bringing
 this up because I've seen posts in the past related to this (especially keyboard mappings).

Cheers, newt
