QA:Testcase Keyboard Layout
Release relevance
This Testcase applies the following versions of Rocky Linux: 8, 9
Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Release_Criteria#keyboard-layout release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.
Description¶
As there are a lot of different keyboard layouts available, it is necessary to test if the keyboard functionality works without any issues throughout the system.
If a particular keyboard layout has been configured for the system, that layout must be used:
-
When unlocking storage volumes (encrypted by LUKS)
-
When logging in at a TTY console
-
When logging in via GDM
-
After logging into a GNOME desktop system, if the user does not have their own layout configuration set.
-
⬇️ - Low priority. It would be good to have this tested, but if it isn't or if it fails then it is inconsequential.
- ❗ - Important. It is best to have this tested, but if it isn't or if it fails then it won't block the release.
Releases and Architectures¶
| Distro | aarch64 | ppc64le | riscv64 | s390x | x86_64 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rocky Linux 9 | ❗ | ⬇️ | N/A | ⬇️ | ❗ |
| Rocky Linux 10 | ❗ | ⬇️ | ⬇️ | ⬇️ | ❗ |
Setup¶
- Obtain access to a few different system configurations, especially with and without UI, and not to forget with disk encryption.
- Acquire access to either a baremetal machine or a VM host, to install a new machine
- Prepare appropriate media for the selected ISO to be tested.
- Example: QA:Testcase Media USB dd
How to test¶
Installer¶
- Bootup the installer
- Choose a language
- Make sure that the keyboard layout got chosen correctly corresponding to the language setting
- Change the keyboard layout if needed to test
- Enter text all over Anaconda to make sure the keyboard layout works correctly with the chosen keyboard layout
Disk Encryption¶
- Setup a system with disk encryption
- Check that the password for the disk encryption works on bootup with graphical UI
- Check that the password for the disk encryption works on bootup with text mode
Text mode¶
Check that the chosen keyboard layout works correctly on text mode.
GNOME and Application¶
- Check the login, that the keyboard layout works correctly on the graphical UI login screen
- Also check that the GNOME UI works correctly with the chosen keyboard layout
- And finally check some applications, that the keyboard works as expected
Expected Results¶
The tests during the process could be successfully finished.
