I experienced nearly the same bug, but I did a fresh install of Jaunty. I used the LiveCD installer. When I had to choose the keyboard layout I kept the proposed value (german) = the new feature in Jaunty when a keyboard layout automatically proposed. When I first booted from hard disk I was unable to login because the keyboard layout had switched zo us. (I had to test my password in the field "username" to realize why the login didn't work)
I used the workaround described above to change "console-setup". Below is the /etc/default/console-setup before I applied the changes. # The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same # values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options # in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="" I applied the following changes: XKBLAYOUT="de" The machine is a HP-laptop XT1000 quite old but 7.10 and 8.04 worked (different windows managers recommended) ** Attachment added: "this is the /var/log/installer/syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25600983/syslog -- keyboard switches to Arabic after jaunty upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357971 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
