Can't login in Wayland after change language from Russian to English in Fedora 25 alpha

[Alexander Kolesnikov]

Hi all!

I am install Fedora 25 Alpha Workstation with Russian language. In settings
change language to English and log out. After that I can't login into my
users (root and new account). Reopens the login window without errors. But
if I change settings from GNOME to GNOME on Xorg - I can login.

Could be gdm or gnome-shell, not sure. If you can file a bug and attach
'journalctl --since=-30m > journal.log' that'd be useful. If you can
tighten up the time estimate that keeps it a bit cleaner; so if you know
the failed login attempt on Wayland was about 5 minutes ago, you can do
--since=-6m or whatever, a little more is better than cutting it off. That
is a minus before the number.

Since you can't login, I'd ding it against component gdm. And then
post the URL for the bug here, it may be a blocker (for Wayland by
default, not the release since it works with X).

Hi, Chris.

I am trying to login via GUI with Wayland and after that use 'journalctl
--since=-30m > journal.log via ssh. And attach file.

Hi, when you say you installed it in Russian language, have you also configured Russian keyboard layout (that is the default when you pick Russian language), or have you used USA keyboard by default? What keyboard layout have you used when creating the password for your user in anaconda? When you say you changed your language to English in GNOME, do you mean changing *only* the language, or have you also changed the keyboard layouts?

When you are in GDM and you can't log in - does switching the keyboard layout (should be available in top right corner) help?

Do you have multiple standard users defined in the system, or just one (because if you have just one, GNOME changes the language of the whole system, if you have more of them, it changes the language of just that one user).

Thanks.

I think I have reproduced the bug and reported it here: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372300

Can you please confirm whether the workaround works for you (switching the keyboard layout to a different one and then back to the desired one)? Thanks.

Switching the keyboard layout in Log In window? First EN->RU then RU->EN
and try to login? Or what?
If you mean this case - it does not work.

If you look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372300#c1 , there's a video that shows how I work around that bug (in case it's the same one).

In anakonda I configure Russian keyboard layout and create only password
for root without creation new user. New user I create after installation
for in first login via root. I have two lamguage layouts: Russian and
English.
After installation I have RU.png (in attachments) settings and change to
EN.png settings.

I'm a bit confused. You said you were installing Fedora in Russian language. If you pick Russian language in the initial anaconda screen, you don't need to configure keyboard layout anymore, because the Russian layout should be already selected. What am I missing?

Also, if you don't create a standard user during installation, on the first boot on the installed system (GNOME), it should boot into graphics and force you to create a user. But you say you create the user using root (I presume by switching into a VT). So what exactly do you do about those "create a new user" dialogs?

One thing that strikes me as odd is that you have the "Region & Language" dialog in English, even though you have Russian language selected. If I install a new system with Russian language, the whole system is translated.

Sorry for delay.

Yes, Russian layout selected automatically.

I create new user after reboot after installation - "force you to create a
user".

Yes, system is translated, but I create a screenshot with English language
and only for show you which settings is selected.

I tried again using these instructions and it worked for me. Please note there's currently a bug which disallows you to log out and log back in again (if you update to certain packages): 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1373169

But the first login after boot should always work. If it doesn't for you, it would be best if you could run the whole process in aVM (including installation), record it as a video, and then upload it e.g. to youtube and post a link here, so that we can see exactly what's happening in your case.

Thanks.
