You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release?

Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 5/MacBook. Installer detects Swedish keyboard layout instead of Finnish. Maybe the layout should be called Finnish/Swedish. -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Having Ubuntu autodetect the "Finnish" layout when using a Swedish keyboard may be good if you consider the Finnish origin of Linux. On the other hand, Linus Torvalds himself is speaking Swedish as his mother tounge and there are twice as many people speaking Swedish as those who speak Finnish. Hence it is most likely that the user who wants his Swedish/Finnish keyboard autodetected also is speaking Swedish rather than Finnish. >From a technical perspective it would not only make sense but also make life easier if we merged the two layouts into one and explained the reason for the end user whenever the keyboard layout issue is configured or displayed. -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://launchpad.net/bugs/35611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well physically, Swedish and Finnish keyboards are exactly the same. Many vendors do label their keyboards for the Swedish market as "Swe/Fi", "Swedish/Finnish" or something similar. Other do have different labels even though the actual keyboards do not differ. Look at IBM for instance, a well reputed hardware vendor: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/KBD285.jsp http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/KBD153.jsp Actually Swedish is one of the official languages of Finnland and Sweden and Finnland have historical bonds that may not remind all of a happy past but that still may make sense for keeping the same physical layout for those two countries. And since many memories are quite bad having two names also is a sensible solution, even if it stirs up confusion for computer users. -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://launchpad.net/bugs/35611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this bug in reverse for the Xubuntu Edgy beta alternate install CD. Wanted to get Finnish layout, got Swedish, but no chance to choose. But: the Finnish and the Swedish keyboards have exactly the same layout (see the link below, the first chapter in introduction) - what is the reason for having two separate layouts for them in the installer? http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:48jOF4BTqmQJ:www.kotoistus.fi/avoimet/fi_kbspec_en_luonnos06.pdf+keyboard+layout+finnish+swedish&hl=fi&gl=fi&ct=clnk&cd=4 -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://launchpad.net/bugs/35611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
