[Bug 656777] Re: Wrong keyboard selection with starting directly ubiquity

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.0

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.0) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Prevent the OOM killer from selecting ubiquity.  See  LP #770865.
  * Ensure that the partition ComboBoxEntry can be focused
    (LP: #769043).
  * Hide the other pages when starting the slideshow so that verbose
    languages that cause the window to grow do not leave lots of
    whitespace on the slideshow (LP: #770253).
  * Don't offer the download updates option when there is no Internet
    connection. See LP: 651932.
  * Provide access to the keymaps most-relevant for the currently
    selected language in the keyboard indicator (LP: #656777).
  * gnome-settings-daemon no longer daemonizes (LP: #788859).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-auto
    93ubuntu16.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Re-enable alpha warning for oneiric.
  * Make ubiquity/nonfree_package preseedable, and allow it to contain
    multiple whitespace-separated package names.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * In automatic ubiquity mode, don't clobber grub-installer/bootdev
    because of the U/I widget not being populated.  Fixes preseeded
    grub-installer/bootdev.

  Wrong keyboard selection with starting directly ubiquity

Status in “ubiquity” source package in Natty:
  Won't Fix
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  From a box connected or disconnected from the Internet:

  1. start the live without using the syslinux menu (so, wait for booting in the ubiquity installer)
  2. Select French
  3. get to next steps…
  4. if you try to either define manually partition or set the town/country your are in, you will see that your keyboard is in qwerty (most of people speaking French have an azerty keyboard, especially as the default town when choosing French with no network is "Paris".
  5. then, the good keyboard is proposed as a default on the next step and all is well configured.

  -> having a qwerty keyboard can be confusing when making a custom partition, or trying to set a town/country in the map.
  -> Not that, if you choose "try ubuntu" from ubiquity after selecting French, you are leaded to a live session with an azerty keyboard, at least, this only affects the "partition manually" and "choose you city" in ubiquity.

  This doesn't happen if you use the syslinux menu. (which means,
  pressing a key at the very start, then choosing French) -> the right
  keyboard is selected.
