Wong Keyboard Setup #22

Open allainj opened 1 year ago

allainj commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug On bootup I choose American English for the install. When I try to logon to my wi-fi it keeps failing. This is because my password contains the @ symbol as one of the characters. My keyboard has the @ sign as shift+2. The british configuration prevents the entering of the correct password.

To Reproduce Rebooting does the same thing.

Expected behavior I expect my password to be entered correctly.

This is actually, unfortunately, a design decision by the developers of casper (or casper in Ubuntu, at least) leading to it using the shorthand of keyboard layouts and locales picked, if I recall correctly (e.g.: en_US becoming en), and therefore choosing a layout other than what you picked in the case of US English given Feren OS has UK English by default currently selected.

However, I am planning on making a big-time fix for this in Beta 2 - Beta 1 will temporarily lack language and keyboard select on the live session while that is worked on.
