I think Colin is right. When I retested Kubuntu and set the language already at the boot menu, then the Kubuntu installer guesses the right keyboard.
I went back retested the combinations. This issue is not specific to Mac. The issue is specific to Kubuntu. I never select a language at the boot menu before starting the live CD. In the live session I start the installer and always select German. With Ubuntu, the language is used to guess the time zone and the keyboard. With Kubuntu, however, only the timezone is correct (when offline, where there is no other way to get the timezone), but the keyboard defaults to 'USA', when it should use the installer language and default to German. Then when I select German at the boot menu, the installer defaults to German, the Germany time zone, and the German keyboard. So, there is something particular in Kubuntu that prevents it from getting the default keyboard based on the installer language, unless I have also set the language at the boot menu before starting the live session. None of this is serious, as one can always select the desired settings. It is simply a question of default settings. ** Summary changed: - installer suggests wrong default keyboard for locale on amd4+mac + kubuntu installer suggests wrong default keyboard for locale -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770275 Title: kubuntu installer suggests wrong default keyboard for locale -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
