[Bug 1875062] Re: [20.04] Keyboard layout not enabled immediately during installation when typing username/password

[Dag Bjerkeli]

I've tried groovy-desktop-amd64 downloaded yesterday (July 3rd).

Attempt 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Did you boot under BIOS or UEFI?
BIOS

- If BIOS, did you select the keyboard from the bootloader (purple screen)?
Not sure what screen this should be.

- Which boot option did you use?
Ubuntu

**Welcome**
   -> Selecting Norsk Bokmål (Norwegian)
   -> Installer Ubuntu (Install Ubuntu)

**Tastaturutforming** (Keyboard layout?)
Testing the keyboard in the input field -> OK Norwegian characters appears as they should.

Selecting defaults for remaining screens until **Hvem er du** (Who are you?)
Entering Norwegian keys in the name field gives wrong characters.


Attempt 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same as Attempt 1. But at the window **Tastaturutforming** I selected
US keyboard
Then Continue
Then Back from the Oppdateringer og annen programvare (Updates and other software?) window.
Selecting Norwegian as keyboard layout.

Selecting defaults for remaining screens until **Hvem er du** (Who are you?)
Entering Norwegian keys in the name field gives CORRECT characters.

so I can confirm Gunnar Hjalmarssons observations.

Title:
  [20.04] Keyboard layout not enabled immediately during installation
  when typing username/password

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  During a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, selecting Norwegian keyboard
  is provided and keys are responding correctly at that stage. But later
  when entering user information the keyboard setting is wrong.

  It looks like it have fallen back to English keyboard-layout.
  I failed to log in after my first install, so a new attempt I tried to write some special letters in the name field, and noticed that I got the wrong characters for the key.

  The install is done i VMware workstation 15.

  In the attached screendump, the characters (';[":{) after my name
  should have been (æøåÆØÅ) that is norwegian characters.
