Hello I suspected this may be a touchy subject. Sorry if i have offended anybody. My only point was that Ubuntu is supposed to be about being easy to use and this is the second time I have done an install of Ubuntu picking all the Canadian defaults only to find many of the keys on my keyboard are not behaving as they normally do. I am not a language keyboard expert but I know it was more then a few keys in different places. This is the keybord that came up by default It is quite different. I have linked an image below.

Although I admit multilingual keyboards are becoming easier to get. here in Nova Scotia I have seen a few laptops in retail stores labeled with us and multilingual keys. Anyway I think the official Canadian stats show a good cause for either a us keyboard default with a clear way to select a multilingual option, or a forced keyboard selection with no default. I should also mention that I have only had this happen with the command line installer. I recently did some checking and us keyboards are the default in the gui installer. Windows and Mac both default to US keyboards for Canada. -- French Default Canadian Keyboard 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
