Public bug reported:
USE CASE:
- Several users around the world have local keyboards that are very different
from US keyboards but still would like to use English as the default language,
or any other combination of language and keyboard. It is important to permit
the keyboard to be changed independent of the language selected!
Issue:
- the installation process do not allow the user to select a different keyboard.
Tested versions:
- 18.04 daily (2018-01-01) server - Not working
- 17.10 server - Not working
Steps to Replicate:
- Boot the installation ("pre-installation")
- Select English and language and the appropriate keyboard pressing F3 (in my
case was Swedish)
- Select install new Ubuntu server (The "installation")
- select English as language
- try to select another keyboard (like Swedish, Brazilian, etc) during the
installation process
Problem: there is no way to do it in the installation!
If i try to go back in the menu to set the keyboard, it will not allow me to
change it!
Consequences:
- Keyboard is wrongly set
- In case a user uses disk encryption, (s)he may not be able to enter the
password after reboot making the all installation useless.
- Bug #174101 may be a consequence of this problem - in this scenario it is
even worse since it will not work even if the combination of language and
keyboard suppose to be correct (In case it is something else than English/US)
