Public bug reported: I remembered several years ago trying a Korean install, but I remember you had to hack it to get input to work.
I run an English install of Quantal (AMD64) so I tried a korean installation in virtualbox, and realised that there is still no korean input available on default (or a self-explanitory way to make it available). To get input I had to download and install ibus-hangul and configure it using the steps I found at http://xmodulo.com/2012/11/how- to-enable-korean-language-input-on-ubuntu.html Fortunately I only use Korean rarely, so I don't mind manually installing it, but I think it should be an included feature. Even if it is just a checkbox in the install (we can download mp3 codecs during the install, shouldn't be too hard for a "do you want to type in your language" option if it can't be included in the standard distribution) Hardware is ASUS F45U laptop (US keyboard, I don't have a working Korean one to test) ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1102305 Title: No Korean input method installed by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1102305/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
