I think I might have found the issue for this. In http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15473092/, I have the partial syslog output from the ISO install, from the moment the language is chosen up to cd- rom detection step. In lines 22 to 24 you can see that setupcon is called but it errors out with because gzip is not available in that environment.
Mar 22 16:22:59 main-menu[250]: INFO: Menu item 'console-setup-udeb' selected Mar 22 16:23:00 main-menu[250]: (process:1203): /etc/console-setup is not writable. No files will be saved there. Mar 22 16:23:00 main-menu[250]: (process:1203): gzip is not accessible. Will not save cached keyboard map. If you drop into a shell in the installer environment and run setupcon --help, you get: Usage: setupcon [OPTION] [VARIANT] Sets up the font and the keyboard on Linux console. So, I think lacking gzip in that environment makes setupcon fails which makes the console-setup-udeb item fail to run and is quietly skipped. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559507 Title: Keyboard selection is missed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1559507/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
