Was console-cyrillic configured during installation? It should ask about switch keys with right-Alt as default (but in installed system it will be configured with Ctrl-Shift, due to bug). I tried default installation in Russian (RF) in qemu with network off, and console-cyrillic was installed. There was also dialogs displayed by console-cyrillic after tasksel were I was able to select switch keys, but those choices was later overwritten by localechooser's finish-install. That was not a problem in earlier versions of d-i because console-cyrillic was configured in second stage, after finish-install (or how it was called). But now it is confusing. localechooser should preseed console-cyrillic or do not try to change it's configuration at all. This bug is probably reproducible with all languages that have cyr=... in languagelist (Russian, Belarusian). > > This is on the installed system, right? > > For Russian, console-cyrillic should be installed. > > Unfortunately, we no more have people active in testing Russian in the > D-I team, with the required knowledge of specificities of the language > rendering. > > CC'ing Eugenyi Mescheryakov.....can you look at this, eugen? > > > I have various USB devices connected to my PC.
