NixOS GNOME Graphical installer, keyboard layout configuration issue. #296408

Open CabalCrow opened 8 months ago

CabalCrow commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug

Installing NixOS via the provided GNOME graphical installer from the nixos.org/download site, does not set up the console keymap only xkb layout & variant. This is not an issue when you have a desktop enviroment, however if you have selected no desktop enviroment in the settings you are unable to use your prefered layout straight from the login screen.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install NixOS via the GNOME graphical installer on a VM
  2. Select a non qwerty keyboard variant in the installer settings, ex. English (Dvorak)
  3. Select no desktop enviroment
  4. Finish the installation
  5. Boot into the machine and type

Expected behavior

The installer should either provides an option for configuring, or automatically configure the consule to use the selected keyboard layout & variant via the console.useXkbConfig = true setting in the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file prior to installation.
