Bug#792823: keyboard-configuration: keymap variant unsupported by debian-installer should be use for the installed system

2017-06-25 Thread Olaf Mandel 
Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.164
Followup-For: Bug #792823

Dear Maintainer,

problem still persists in Stretch. To reproduce, add the following
option to the kernel command line while booting the

installer: keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap=de(nodeadkeys)

This will result in both the installer and the installed system using a
default us keyboard layout.

A deeper investigation found that it is the call to db_go in line 1346
of the debian/keyboard-configuration.config file that erases the
unrecognized setting.

It is also not possible to preseed the installer with a "basic" setting
for keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap and the installed system with a
more advanced setup via the internal keyboard-configuration/layoutcode
and keyboard-configuration/variantcode settings: their values overwrite
xkb-keymap in line 1235 of the script.

My current workaround is to configure the installed system via
preseed/late_command, using sed to edit /etc/default/keyboard in the
target. But that is less than ideal...

Thank you,
Olaf Mandel

Bug#792823: keyboard-configuration: keymap variant unsupported by debian-installer should be use for the installed system

2015-07-18 Thread Daniel Dehennin 
Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.130
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hello,

I'm trying to preseed Jessie installation and I have issue with the
keyboard.

#+begin_src preseed
# Locale sets language and country.
# critical
d-i debian-installer/locale string fr_FR.UTF-8

# The values can also be preseeded individually for greater flexibility.
d-i debian-installer/language   string fr
d-i debian-installer/countrystring FR

# Disable automatic (interactive) keymap detection.
d-i console-setup/ask_detectboolean false
#d-ikeyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select  fr(oss)
#+end_src

My keyboard finish in “us”.

According to the preseed documentation[1]:

“Only basic keymap variants are available during installation.”

So, if I switch the “fr(oss)” to “fr(latin9)”, my installed system have
the “fr(latin9)” keymap.

I think the keyboard-configuration preseed should not be reset during
the installation if the variant is not supported by debian-installer.

A better solution could be to configure the default variant for the
debian-installer and use the preseed values for the installed system.

This way, we have:

- debian-installer: use default variant for the “fr” layout, do not
  touch the preseed values

- during the system install: get the keymap from the preseed, the “oss”
  variant is then used by the system.

Regards.
