** Summary changed: - Keyboard layout encoding problem (????) during install + Corrupted layout/variant list on Step 3 in installer
** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity - During install of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1, - 1. I selected the Greek language. The same problem appears with Russian and any script that has translated 'xkeyboard-config' to a non-ASCII language. - 2. At the keyboard layout page, the translated strings of xkeyboard-config appear as ????????????. + SUMMARY: While installing Ubuntu, on Step 3 we can choose a keyboard layout. + The layout names are localised by the package xkeyboard-config). + If on Step 1 we chose a language such as Russian, Greek, French, + then those layout names on Step 3 appear as in the screenshots (UTF-8 text shown as ??????). - This is an encoding issue. + HOW TO REPRODUCE: + 1. Get either Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1 or the daily live ISO (tried lucid-desktop-i386.iso, 25-Mar-2010). + 2. Start the LiveCD and go into the installer. + 3. On Step 1, select the Greek language (Russian, etc work as well). + Any language that translated xkeyboard-config and the script has characters other than US ASCII). + See http://translationproject.org/domain/xkeyboard-config.html for available languages. + 4. On Step 3, notice the layout names. You may select Custom and go through the layout and variant lists. + 5. Instead of showing UTF-8 text, ubiquity read the names as if the encoding was US ASCII (7-bit), thus the ? character appears. - I do not know where the installer finds the Greek localisation messages for xkeyboard-config. - Something happens in the Python code that messed up the encoding. - - In addition, in one of the screenshots below it shows that layout list - gets corrupted. The layout list includes system directories. + In addition, one of the screenshots below shows that layout list gets + corrupted with system directories names. -- Corrupted layout/variant list on Step 3 in installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542310 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
