Bug#537872: asks questions about keyboard during finish install
Quoting Frans Pop (elen...@planet.nl): Possibly for the current situation the apt-install of console-setup should be moved from localechooser to kbd-chooser which already takes care not to install console-data on headless systems [1]. This would also make for a more natural migration from kbd-chooser to console-setup-udeb. Agreed. 3. Change localechooser not to care about the console at all -- console-setup-udeb doesn't apt-install console-setup on headless systems, see console-setup/debian/console-setup-udeb.base-installer c-s-udeb probably *should* apt-install console-setup. Currently it relies on localechooser to do this, which is not at all logical. Agreed too. I can't remember now why this did end up in localechooser. I guess this is because, in the past, the settings for the console happened to be language-dependent in some waybut that part of the code was added by Denis Barbier and I don't really remember the rationale to have it there. (one rationale is maybe that kbd-chooser is written in C...:-)) signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I've prepared the changes locally in my tree and will get an ack from bubulle before pushing them (just to not do anything stupid). 3.

Console-setup-udeb already does this, the initial patch for this was by Colin Watson (July 15, 2007) and recently in 1.44 I changed it not to apt-install on computers without a keyboard. There is one change compared to what kbd-chooser does. If a serial console is used for the installation but the computer has a keyboard, then console-setup will be installed and questions about the keyboard will be asked.

Anyway I've moved it to kbd-chooser and will wait for it to be available in all arches to upload localechooser then. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.

reassign console-setup,localechooser thank you On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 03:48:17PM +0200, Martin Michlmayr wrote: With a daily on ARM (but this has happened for quite a while), I get some questions about the keyboard during the finish installation step. See the attached screenshots. Note that this happens on an installation via SSH; there's no keyboard connected to this device. Console-setup is supposed (at least its current version) to configure the font and the keyboard. What is not supposed to happen is console-setup to be installed on a headless system. Three methods to fix this: 1. Change console-setup to support headless systems 2. Change localechooser not to apt-install console-setup on headless systems 3.
