[Bug 63178] Re: [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing
do you thing bug 46046 is related? https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/46046 from that bug's report: I've installed ubuntu dapper Beta1 with ubiquity. My keyboard layout was configured to be and keyboard model pc105 which is good. Now I ran « sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg » and my keyboard falls to pc104 and layout us. Shouldn't it remember my preferences from the first installation ? -- [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/63178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 63178] Re: [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing
Perhaps it is indeed related. I actually don't know if ubiquity explicitly writes to xorg.conf or passes parameters to dpkg-reconfigure. But in either case, the resulted xorg.conf from a 6.10 installation only contains XkbOptions lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll, while the resulted xorg.conf from a 6.06 installation contained grp:alt_shift_toggle as well. I think the latter should get back at the default xorg.conf :) -- [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/63178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 63178] Re: [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing
I just tested the Ubuntu 6.10 beta edgy eft *alternate* cd image, and specifically the text-mode installation method. I have to say it is much more friendly towards multi-language installations. The debian installer asks the user which combination he desires for switching keyboards and presents him the choices of Alt + Shift, Ctrl + Shift, etc etc (whatever else combination xkb supports). After the installation it has of course set properly the option in xorg.conf. Can something similar be done in ubuquity ? It would be very helpful, TIA. -- [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/63178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 63178] Re: [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing
At the moment I don't intend to offer that level of control in ubiquity (although I will be adding a keyboard variant option); I'll simply fix the bug that prevents setting a sensible default. You can change it after installation using 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup'. -- [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/63178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 63178] Re: [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing
I do not know if ubiquity automagically sets the keyboard options in GNOME directly at System/Preferences/Keyboard (therefore in gconf) and does not touch xorg.conf.

[Bug 63178] Re: [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing
Well, that's exactly the point this bug report is trying to make. It's totally irrelevant what the Edgy installer does with Gnome or gconf or KDE or whatever. It matters what it does to the xorg.conf, the basis of all, so that all Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Fluxbuntu, nUbuntu and whatever else *buntu installed systems do not lack a support for switching among the installed and selected keyboard layouts. -- [Edgy Beta] Xkb group switching option missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/63178 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
