[Bug 1504655] Re: Install defers use of selected keyboard layout

[David Cary]

I was not allowed to set the package to debian-installer when I
originally submitted this bug report in Launchpad.  I have just now been
able to set the package using the link in the bot-comment.

** Package changed: ubuntu => debian-installer (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Install defers use of selected keyboard layout

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu Server 15.04 on an HP Pavilion 15-f039wv
  laptop, I explicitly select the English Dvorak keyboard layout early
  in the install process, but that selection is not effective until part
  way through the "Installing the System" step.  Until then, the install
  appears to use a regular US Qwerty layout.

  The Qwerty layout is used for things like entering a host name, a user
  name, and user password and while doing disk partitioning.  The
  deferred use of the Dvorak keyboard layout also effects my use of a
  secondary console, for example after pressing Ctl-Alt-F2 and then
  hitting enter.  Also there, the keyboard layout changes part way
  through the "Installing the System" step.

  Otherwise, the installation nominally successful and the installed
  system uses the Dvorak keyboard layout.

  When I install Ubuntu Server 14.04.3, the selection of the Dvorak
  keyboard layout takes effect immediately for the rest of the
  installation.  As I recall, that has been the case for other earlier
  versions of Ubuntu.
