[Bug 800561] Re: No way to add other keymap than english on Live CD

[Sebastien Bacher]

the issue there is that the active layouts list set by ubiquity hits
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646269 and an xorg
limitation, the current list is also not really practical from an ui
perspective, we should probably default to one keymap and let the user
add extra ones from the control center if needed

Title:
  No way to add other keymap than english on Live CD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. Boot a live cd
  2. Select "Try Ubuntu" and start the live session
  3. Click on the Keyboard indicator
    -> Verify that there is no French, Spanish or German keymap on the list (nothing else than US keymaps actually)
  4. At the bottom of the list click on "Keyboard Preferences".
    -> It opens the "Region and Language" configuration panel
  5. Click on the "Layout" tab to add a new layout

  Result:
  The list only contains english/us layouts
  The "+" button below the list is disabled and no new layout can be added

  WORKAROUND
   * On the "Layouts" tab click on "Reset to defaults"
   * All the existing layouts are removed and the "+" button is enabled, the user can then add a new layout.
