Hello Christophe,

First of all, the ubuntu-be mailinglist is not meant for support, you can use the ubuntu-en, ubuntu-fr or ubuntu-nl mailinglist for support.

I know about the existence of those lists, but please tell me: how many users outside Belgium have experience with Belgian keyboard issues? That's why I came to this list first.

Best regards,

Christophe


For the keyboard layout auto detect you should type the + is you're asked to press one of the keys. That way it will detect Belgian AZERTY. I didn't have problems installing ubuntu 10.10 yet, but I only did installations on physical machines so far, not with virtual box.

Hi,

I tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 in VirtualBox 4.0 on Windows XP SP3, but the installation stalls each time at the keyboard layout screen. I use English versions or UI for all my software, but the machine I want to install this on is a Dell Precision laptop with a Belgian keyboard. The "Figure out keboard layout" function suggests "France" in the left-hand side of the screen, but without updating the list of keyboards in the right-hand side (where I get "Turkmenistan" and "Turkmenistan Alt-Q"). The Back and Forward buttons turn grey and the spinner just keeps spinning as if something ended up in an endless loop. The only option I can see is to suspend the process and try again, but I have done this several times by now...

(I used the following options in VirtualBox:
Base Memory: 768 MB
Fixed-size storage: 8 GB
I then pointed VirtualBox to the Ubuntu 10.10 ISO image on my hard disk (I though that should work).)

Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? Searching the Web did not give me any clues.

Best regards,

Christophe Strobbe
