[Bug 521878] Re: console keymap settings lost after reboot

[Jarod]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: console-data
  
  I am running Lucid-amd64 on my machine.
  
  lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
  Release:        10.04
  
  I installed it via:
  debootstrap --arch amd64 lucid /tftpboot/ubuntu-10.4 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
  chroot /tftpboot/ubuntu-10.4
  apt-get install language-pack-en
  apt-get install nfs-common linux-image-2.6.32-13-generic console-data
  ### I set the keymap to qwertz -> Germany -> latin1 - no dead keys. ###
  groupadd ...
  useradd ...
  passwd ...
  vigr ...
  
- After editing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for boot via NFS and updating the initrd, I bootet the machine via PXE and had an english keymap after fist login.
+ After editing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for boot via NFS and updating the initrd, I bootet the machine via PXE and had an english keymap after first login.
  I then did "dpkg-reconfigure console-data". The following dialog showed the settings I did during install. After dpkg-reconfigure was done, I had the correct console keyboard layout again. But after a reboot, I was back to the English layout.
  Even with a working German layout I cannot type any Umlauts (äöü) or ß.
  
  dpkg -l|egrep "kbd|console-data|language-pack" shows the following:
  
  ii  console-data                     2:1.10-1                                       keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fallback table
  ii  kbd                              1.15-1ubuntu1                                  Linux console font and keytable utilities
  ii  language-pack-en                 1:10.04+20100206.1                             translation updates for language English
  ii  language-pack-en-base            1:10.04+20100206.1                             translations for language English
  
  Thanks for your help.
