Public bug reported: I used the netboot.tar.gz to install Ubuntu natty via PXE. The netboot method uses the debian style installer which allows the user to detect the Keyboard by pressing some keys. It successfully detected my de:nodeadkeys layout.
I then installed "Ubuntu desktop" from tasksel. After the installation finished, logging in with the user which was created during setup showed that the user has a US keyboard configured while the system keyboard is properly configured as German: The password of the user contains a "z" which would be swapped with "y" on the German keyboard, log-in still works if I don't manually type an "y".... So the log-in manager uses the German layout while the actual user as default US layout. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780085 Title: Keyboard language detected during netboot setup is ignored after installation -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
