Title:
Xubuntu installer keyboard selection error
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Xubuntu 10.10 installer on live cd.
I use English but my laptop was purchased in latin america so it has a
Spanish keyboard.
The problem was that in the installer the first option was to select
English but the option to select the keyboard configuration happens
AFTER the partitioning phase. Because I choose to manually partition
my drive on each clean install, choosing English gave me a standard US
keyboard. But entering mount points requires a backslash and it is not
the same key for a Spanish keyboard.
Obviously this only affects those in a rare set of circumstances but
it is still a design bug nevertheless. The keyboard selection needs to
be done at the start of the installation process along with the
language selection.
