the problem here is not lxkeymap, but the fact that oem-config (ubiquity) does not offer keyboard selection during install and just defaults to whatever is set in /etc/default/keyboard (which lxkeymap just uses as well) ... to work around the issue until the bug is fixed:
edit /etc/default/keyboard to use the keymap you want run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup", answer all questions with their defaults and reboot (along with a proper desktop keymap you now should also have the right keymap on the console) ** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lxkeymap (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Invalid ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of AC100 Team, which is subscribed to AC100_enablement. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026510 Title: lxkeymap does not remember settings Status in Enablement project for the Toshiba AC100 NetBook: Confirmed Status in “lxkeymap” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: lxkeymap is not able to read its own config. bluszcz@rafal ~ $ cat .config/lxkeymap.cfg [Global] layout = us variant = euro option = bluszcz@rafal ~ $ lxkeymap Sections: ['Global'] Layouts: ['es'] Variants: [] Options: [] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: lxkeymap 0.7.99+dfsg-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu11 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jul 19 10:23:41 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: lxkeymap UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ac100/+bug/1026510/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ac100 Post to : ac100@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ac100 More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
