The submitter wants an indicator showing the active layout as in the following picture: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=39;filename=layout-indicator.png;att=1;bug=692459 Since some laptops lack ScrollLock led, regardless of the support of this led by the kernel, something similar definitely will be useful for the text mode installer too. Unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to implement this in text mode. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#692459: debian installer should show a keyboard layout indicator in text fields
Hello, Praveen A, le Fri 09 Nov 2012 18:12:25 +0530, a écrit : 2012/11/6 Samuel Thibault sthiba...@debian.org: A visible indication on the screen would be hackish at best. Another way would be to use the scroll lock LED. Are you using the graphical or the textual installer? In the latter case, my patch to make the kernel let userspace choose LEDs for modifiers at will has not yet been integrated, it'll not be fixable for Wheezy. gnome screensaver already had it in lock screen dialogue (but it seemed to be gone in 3.6). Malayalam is not supported in text mode, so at least for Malayalam I'm happy with layout indicator in graphical mode. Mmm, just to make sure: this is already implemented in the graphical d-i, I've just tested with beta4, the scroll lock LED does light when switched to the non-latin layout. Is it also forking for you, or is there still a bug in that regard? (support in textmode will come with my kernel patch).

Bug#692459: debian installer should show a keyboard layout indicator in text fields
package: debian-installer version: 20120930+b1 severity: wishlist There should be a visible indication of current keyboard layout selected. Especially when a non-latin language is selected as installation language and first text field is a password field - there is no way to know which keyboard you actually have.
