Hi,
I just tried the (beta release) of today's version of Ubuntu 14.04.
I used my PXE boot server and used the 14.04 pxe boot loader to install
the amd64 version into a virtual machine, running under virtualbox on
older ubuntu. I've selected xubuntu to install (which should be
irrelevant, since it seems to be a problem of the base os installation).
Although I've chosen the german version and ran through the usual
keyboard detection (which correctly found de nodeadkeys and correctly
setup /etc/default/keyboard), the system lacks german keytables and
comes up with english keyboards. The keyboard configuration in X11
(XFCE) also lists the english keyboard only.
Since the default settings of XFCE is to not use own keyboard tables but
those of the underlying system, X11 comes up with english settings as
well.
Overriding the system settings in XFCE's keyboard configuration allows
to manually select german keymaps, which work. But that's not the idea
and rather a workaround.
However, I did not yet figure out how to manually fix that the console
level Linux does not have the german keymap.
So it's not a problem of X11/XFCE. It is a problem of the console level
linux environment.
