Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I'm currently trying to test the candidate images for Natty Alpha 2
(20110202, amd64) and ran into the following problem while installing
Natty with Ubiquity:
- The screen to select the proper keyboard layout appeared as usual.
- Then I must have pressed some wrong key ('g' to go to 'Germany' in the
country list, at least I was trying to do so), the keyboard selection dialog
disappeared and Ubiquity went further to next question (entering user name,
password, etc.).
- Even if I clicked the 'Back'-button in Ubiquity, I couldn't get the keyboard
selection screen back, just the time zone selection.
The result was that to my point of view a random keyboard layout had
been selected (Democratic Republic of Kongo) which I had to correct
myself in the live environment just to be able to type my user
name/password with proper letters.
I was trying to report this bug with 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity', but
Apport(?) crashed with the following outpu (maybe a seperate bug?)t:

------------------------
Thus I had to report it the old manual way.
Kind regards,
