Summary: Choosing Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, and other
keyboard layouts in KDE neon devunstable installer
makes system not installable
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

KDE neon devunstable installer bug: choosing Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic,
and other keyboard layouts, cause English keyboard layout to disappear, and
makes system not installable, because it's became impossible to set username
and password.
While it's possible to workaround this issue by launching installer in Live
mode and adding English keyboard layout back, and then set username and
password, English keyboard layout is still not present after installation,
which make login impossible, unless user enabled autologin in installer. I
think this will cause huge frustration to users and makes them cancel
installation (which I did, when I tried to install Manjaro).
Another possible pain point is CJK input methods which probably doesn't get
installed and enabled, even if user chosen Vietnamese or Korean - I wonder if
anybody from developers team check this? Please refer to this articles for more
details:
