Description
This test case exercises the installation using Non-English European language. Testing also includes verifying proper keymap selected during installation.
How to test
- Boot and initiate an install using any installation source (e.g. boot.iso, CD, DVD, live image or pxeboot)
- Choose a non-English Latin character-based language, such as French, German, or Turkish and an appropriate Keyboard layout:
- from a GNOME Live image: User menu -> System Settings -> Region and Language
- select or add the language in the Language Tab
- select the keyboard in the Layouts Tab
- then logout and login to start a new desktop session
- Start the installer in GNOME: Activities -> click "Install to Hard Drive" icon
- Alternatively you can set the live install language in a terminal like this:
- Activities -> enter "terminal"
- In the terminal run the command 'LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 liveinst' (replace with your locale)
- For a normal non-Live install, proceed through the installer to the Language Selection step, and an appropriate keymap in the Keyboard Selection step
- from a GNOME Live image: User menu -> System Settings -> Region and Language
- At the Disk Partitioning screen, select Encrypt System, click Next
- When prompted, enter a passphrase twice
- Finish installation and reboot
- Type your passphrase for decryption
- Select your user and type your password in the display manager
- Open a terminal and try to log in as root
Expected Results
- The correct character set is displayed in the language selection screen
- Graphical installs have different support than text-mode
- The appropriate keymap is selected automatically based on the language
- Text input using the selected keymap works as expected
- Text appears to be translated in the selected language
- The appropriate timezone is selected based on the language
- Block devices are encrypted (install-time) and decrypted (boot-time) using characters specific to the keymap
- GDM accepts user password defined in Firstboot
- Root password defined during installation is accepted
