[Bug 1863001] Re: Incorrect LAYOUT is set when choosing Lithuanian in dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and Ubiquity

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

This patch replaces not intuitive secondary lt(us) layout with us(altgr-
intl), which uses majority of Lithuanian users as secondary layout.

** Patch added: "Patch against console-setup-1.194ubuntu2/debian/keyboard-configuration.config - fixes LT layout"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1863001/+attachment/5328000/+files/keyboard-configuration.config-LT-layout.patch

** Description changed:

  If user chooses Lithuanian keyboard layout during installation
  (Ubiquity) or dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration then incorrect
  layout is set in /etc/default/keyboard :
  
  XKBLAYOUT="lt,lt"
  XKBVARIANT=",us"
  
  This configuration is not intuitive, because people think, that
  sometimes Lithuanian keyboard works (when lt1 is selected in GNOME shell
  panel) and sometimes doesn't work (when lt2 is selected).
  
  So, majority of Lithuanian users are force to removed second lt(us)
  layout and add English (US) altgr-intl layout.
  
  So, correct /etc/default/keyboard should be:
  
  XKBMODEL="pc105"
  XKBLAYOUT="lt,us"
  XKBVARIANT=",altgr-intl"
  XKBOPTIONS="grp_led:scroll"
  BACKSPACE="guess"
  
- I will attach a patch to debian/keyboard-configuration.config file which
+ I'm attaching a patch to debian/keyboard-configuration.config file which
  fixes this issue

** Tags added: patch

** Summary changed:
