As I mentioned in responding to Steve, I'm going to make sure the hardware is OK, then retry the installation. I'll file bug report(s) and find a work around if I can & document it for others. I'm not particularly proficient in French or Italian, but it is a workable option for me to do a fully French or Italian installation. That might give us some useful comparison cases. How much space are we talking about for installation of all 139 languages?

Or the problem could be in the desktop environment itself. It is such a fringe case, though, that I am not sure if it is worth pursuing. It is 100% reproducible on this hardware. The system is one I have scraped together while I am stuck in Italy. I plan to use it for testing, as I have a more powerful laptop at my disposal. The system is a home built PC based on a 440BX motherboard, and it has a French keyboard. To produce the error: 1. Boot the Lubuntu Lucid Beta 3 Live CD 2. Accept the default language, English, from the boot menu 3. Press F3 and select "France" for the keymap 4. Choose the "Try Lubuntu without installing" from the primary boot menu 5. At the desktop, start the installer 6. On the keyboard selection screen of the installer (step 3) the installer guesses "France - Alternative" 7. Press the radio button for "Choose your own" 8. Select "France" from the right-hand window list 9. Try typing text in the test field; the keyboard produces no output 10. Open leafpad or LXTerminal; still no output from the keyboard 11. Quit the installer and restart the system from the "Logoff" menu item; the CD ejects, but the system does not restart. Later steps in installation will require the keyboard, I assume, so at this point installation has failed. Note: if leafpad or LXTerminal is used prior to starting the installer, then the problem does not occur. Text appears in these apps. Once the installer is started, text appears in the test field of step 3, Workaround: 1. Do not use F3 to choose a keymap; or 2. Open leafpad or another text-input app, type something, then start the installer. So, is this important enough for a formal bug report? Should I try the Ubuntu Lucid Beta to see if the problem occurs there also? Your comments appreciated, David There have been a couple of 'strange' language problems, involving French & English, noticed by Phillw and myself, on Beta 2.
