[Bug 791883] Re: ubi-console-setup.py:set_keyboard() gets error 141 (crashes) in Kubuntu

[Kenneth Solbø Andersen]

Would it perhaps be better to get keyboard names from the file
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst instead of using the make-keyboard-
names script? It seems to contain the same information. This could be
done with a simple python script.

  Not just with u'France' -- happens with u'USA' too. From slangasek, looks like xkb-data changed around (France v. French) causing some API breakage
