[Bug 1231892] Re: Ubiquity procedure steps are wrong ordered

[Romuald]

Hi,
I installed UG 13.10 on a new computer some days ago and I've faced again this bad order. When I was offered to connect my wifi network, as the keyboard layout was not set to my language and my password does contain tricky characters, it was nearly impossible to properly connect to the network.

It's really annoying.

Title:
  Ubiquity procedure steps are wrong ordered

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Tested with Ubuntu 13.10, but it seems to be the same on 13.04. Ubiquity steps are:
  1. Choose your language
  2. Choose some installation options (install updates, additionnal software, etc)
  3. Connect to the network
  ...
  4. Choose your keyboard layout

  This is wrong because:
  a. The step 2 is impacted by the network connectivity
  b. It's difficult to enter wireless credentials if the keyboard layout has not been setup first.

  My proposal to fix this is the following sequence:
  1. Choose your language
  2. Choose your keyboard layout
  3. Connect to the network
  4. Choose some installation options (install updates, additionnal software, etc)
