[Touch-packages] [Bug 1553147] Re: xenial preseed cannot set keyboard layout
A work-around to actually setting the keyboard layout (to Norwegian): d-i preseed/late_commandstring \ in-target /bin/sed -i "s/XKBMODEL=\"[a-z]*\"/XKBMODEL=\"pc105\"/g" /etc/default/keyboard ; \ in-target /bin/sed -i "s/XKBLAYOUT=\"[a-z]*\"/XKBLAYOUT=\"no\"/g" /etc/default/keyboard ; \ in-target /bin/sed -i "s/XKBVARIANT=\"[a-z]*\"/XKBVARIANT=\"\"/g" /etc/default/keyboard ; \ in-target /bin/sed -i "s/XKBOPTIONS=\"[a-z]*\"/XKBOPTIONS=\"\"/g" /etc/default/keyboard ; \ in-target /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive keyboard-configuration ; \ in-target /usr/sbin/update-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX Note, that "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive keyboard- configuration" is necessary to get the new layout configured for X11 as well. Although the documentation says that editing /etc/default/keyboard is fine, X11 will not use the new layout unless "/usr/sbin/dpkg- reconfigure keyboard-configuration" is run. Finally, "/usr/sbin/update-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8" is used to get a 24-hour clock with an en_IE.UTF-8 locale (metric, €, etc., but AM/PM clock). (A European English locale "en_EU.UTF-8" would be a nice feature.) Needless to say that this work-around is really ugly, and the installer should be fixed to automatically set the proper keyboard layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553147 Title: xenial preseed cannot set keyboard layout Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Using network booted preseed with the following lines to configure keyboard layout: d-i console-setup/ask_detect false d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de d-i keyboard-configuration/layout select German d-i keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105 System comes up with US keyboard only (see screenshot).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1553147] Re: xenial preseed cannot set keyboard layout
Sorry, I'm unable to verify or test for a week, but IIRC setting it as
parameter (or using the alias keymap=fi) did actually change the layout
in the installer console.
However the changes were not saved in the target system in
/etc/default/keyboard as XKBLAYOUT="fi". I also tried setting these
items in preseed without success:
{d-i,keyboard-configuration} keyboard-configuration/{layout,layoutcode
,xkb-keymap,variant}

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1553147] Re: xenial preseed cannot set keyboard layout
I used a slightly different test to verify that the keyboard was correctly configured, and it looks like it is: keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=es (on the command-line) appears to correctly set the keyboard to the es locale. I'm not familiar enough with all keyboards to know how to properly test them (I mean, hitting a key and verifying that it does the right thing). Could you give me an example for the german and finnish keyboard of some key combination that should write a special character, so I can test them? Also, have you tried setting the keyboard-configuration/layoutcode value on the command-line? If so, does it make a difference? If it does, this may mean that instead the bug lies in preseed or something specific to the way the keyboard configuration is preseeded.
