Hi there, In fact, this fix doesn't seem to work. I basically re-did the preseed.cfg file using the intrepid preseed.cfg template. the d-i console-setup/layoutcode string us was enabled, however, after the new installation was complete, the keyboard layout is still in Arabic.
I also don't seem to have any way to fix this on the laptop itself as I literally have no way of typing command on the console and am unable to login in via gdm.
