[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1758647] Re: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout
@Pjotr12345: Thanks for the lesson on Dutch keyboards. :) I can confirm that it's a regression compared to 16.04. On 16.04, if the selected language matches the time zone location, a reasonable guess is pre-set in the window for setting keyboard layout. So if I select Nederlands and pretend to live in Haag, the installer indeed suggests the us+intl layout. This behavior was broken in 17.10, and I have a feeling that it's related to the switch from unity-settings-daemon to gnome-settings- daemon. Compare: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-settings-daemon-team/unity-settings- daemon/trunk/view/head:/plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c with: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings- daemon/blob/master/plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c The fix of bug #1719938 resulted in this patch: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-settings- daemon/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/ubuntu_ibus_configs.patch which handles it for some locales which typically need input methods. But for all other locales it simply defaults to the basic English (US) layout. As already mentioned, this may make the live session for many (most?) languages disappointing. Typing is an essential part of the desktop experience. ** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

Thank you for your bug report, could you give some details - where do you pick the language? on the syslinux first text based boot? or in the installer? - do you use the install only mode or the live session? - is that specific to that language or do you see similar issues in other locales? I tried on a daily bionic iso - boot the iso - touch a key to see the syslinux menu, select nederlands - select "ubuntu installieren" -> it boots to ubiquity only with netherlands select - do next -> "Engels (VS) with "dode toesten" is selected that seems about right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

Sebastien Bacher: what happened on your system is the right result, but that's not what happens on my machine Still not, when I use the latest daily Ubuntu iso (timestamped 20180-04-03 07:03). It's a test machine with UEFI running in full UEFI mode, which might account for the difference with the result from your test. My approach is straightforward: - I boot my laptop from the iso. - it shows only the normal Grub-like "terminal" lines, no GUI, with "Try Ubuntu without installing" as first line of the four. Which is normal for UEFI. - I select the first line - after the desktop appears, I establish Wifi connection - I start Ubiquity - In the welcome screen of Ubiquity, I select "Nederlands" - I click the button "Verder" (Continue) - I'm being presented with the wrong preselected "Engels (VS)" keyboard layout, like I described in the opening message in this thread. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

the scenario you describe is totally different, you don't select the language on the "grub like menu" and you boot to the live session mode and not to the "ubiquity only" (which is the third entry), there seems to be an issue with ubiquity in any case because if you go back and pick another language and do next the keyboard is not updated -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1758647] Re: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout
I'm able to reproduce Sebastien's success by following the steps in comment #9. At the same time I'm able to reproduce the failure as reported by both Pjotr12345 and myself via these steps: - boot the iso - patiently wait, without pressing any key, until Ubiquity boots [yes Seb, I can be patient sometimes] -> Ubiquity is booted with English preselected (see attached image) - Change to Nederlands -> The display language changes instantly - Click the "ubuntu installieren" button -> The basic English (US) layout is selected So it seems like the language must be selected before Ubiquity boots to get a reasonably guessed preselected layout. But how would the user know that pressing a key initially makes a difference when they are not told so? The official installation instruction here: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop does not mention the syslinux menu either. The desired behavior is reasonably that when you change the language on Ubiquity's welcome screen, the preselected layout should be changed to match the selected language (just as the display language is). Btw, with the press-a-key approach, "Try Ubuntu" enters a session with the correct layout in /etc/default/keyboard. So yes, this is probably a pure ubiquity bug, not affecting gnome-settings-daemon. ** Attachment added: "ubiquity-welcome.jpeg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1758647/+attachment/5101934/+files/ubiquity-welcome.jpeg ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: High => Undecided ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Assignee: Sebastien Bacher (seb128) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1758647] Re: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout
I think I finally understand how the whole default-keyboard configuration is done in ubiquity and console-setup. The reason why it's busted is indeed the keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap debconf variable. The reason everything worked up until artful was that before artful we have been reverting the xkb-keymap pieces from keyboard- configuration.config because of ubiquity (mostly), and this change was dropped with the artful console-setup merge with Debian. I'm trying to ask around if that was intentional or not. If it was, then we need to handle setting of xkb-keymap after performing language selection (possibly in ubiquity). If not, then we'd have to remove it - or at least the pieces where xkb-keymap is overriding all locale/country-based default keyboard layout selection in console-setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in console-setup source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1758647] Re: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout
I talked with cyphermox and it seems the delta was removed intentionally - with the intention of just starting to use xkb-keymap in ubiquity - but this cycle that didn't happen. Since it does require a small amount of design work and we're really close to release, it's best to just re- introduce the changes.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1758647] Re: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout
There was a misunderstanding there: I never suggested we should use xkb- keymap instead (or at least, that's not the message I was trying to convey). The intent was to reduce delta by not removing so much code, when console-setup merges are already difficult. I didn't foresee that some of that code setting a default would impact ubiquity (because ubiquity does things specially with d-i components, sometimes running them multiple times). There's always a need to update ubiquity after changing d-i components; it's inevitable since some of them are embedded in ubiquity source. The removals of xkb-keymaps aren't ubiquity-specific: we don't use this code in d-i, and instead use multiple screens to change keyboards. That's a conscious decision. The point for supporting xkb-keymap "in ubiquity" is more about making sure that we either "rebuild" the value based on layoutcode/variantcode, or otherwise unset it before running the configuration script -- ie. leave it in, but just explicitly ignore its values. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in console-setup source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1758647] Re: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout
I was just saying that if the decision was made to keep xkb-keymap then there had to be a decision to start using it implicitly in ubiquity. And by 'using' I didn't just mean the literal sense of us using the value explicitly, but acting accordingly to what consequences it brings - as it requires us to do one of the two as you mentioned in your post. So I don't think there's much of a misunderstanding here. It's all good and I guess for the next merge we should proceed with adjusting things so that ubiquity is happy with the changes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758647 Title: ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in console-setup source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.
