What?
So something as important as getting the keyboard working
isnt tested until release next week?
That seems unlikely to me

Hi George,
Until you find that plugin you can use terminal windows commands
setxkbmap us
!@#$%^&*()
setxkbmap gb
!"£$%^&*()
illustrated with the output of shift 1234567890
-o-
You can also 'install a new language'
The end user is given the opportunity to select language, but it will
not be installed properly at the installation via the OEM dialogue (at
least not Swedish, that I tested). But when the user selects (from the
main menu in Lubuntu)
Preferences--Language Support
and installs the relevant language, it will work after the next reboot.
The Trusty pre-release versions need the keyboard layout to be set
separately:
'add language' in Xubuntu and
'select input method' (and select your language) in Lubuntu.
Best regards
Nio

I now notice that although I installed it with UK
the keyboard software is a US keyboard
so @ is in the wrong place

Shouldnt a UK keyboard have installed itself?
I cant find anywhere on the menus to change the keyboard from US to UK,
and there seems to be no [Help] option in the menus
I guess it is documented somewhere. You need to add a panel plugin which
allows keyboard switching locale.
Hope that helps.

Hi George,
Until Trusty is released as 14.04 LTS you can expect problems from day
to day. It is still in the development phase. We who run the development
release are prepared for such problems and ready to report bugs to
Launchpad. This way we help the developers.
Best regards

prerelease not updating
I installed Lubuntu14.04 about a week ago.
Today, for the first time I connected it to the internet.
Firefox works OK.
But I was not prompted for any updates.
Only when I go...
Menu / System Tools / Software Updater
does it check for updates from
gb.archive.ubuntu.com.
After a while it offers 155.6MB of updates,
which I am installing.
But why didnt it check for updates automatically?
And why did Software Updater close unexpectedly?
update-manager 1:0.196.9
Crash
oh - its +bug/1202754
I'm glad its already known about...
aha..
Launchpad monitor (janitor) wrote on 2014-04-10
that a fix has been released....
and doesnt crash if i click 'cancel" in the polkit dialof
How can i update the update manager?
do I have to wipe everything and download a later ISO and burn
another CD?
