I didn't checked how it was handled before, maybe something changed in base- installer, of which live-installer exploits some helpers. > As I understand your sentences, live-installer > seems to be using the kbd-chooser udeb, and installing console-setup in > the installer system.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the case, I checked what console-setup does in the target and it is doing it right, but its debconf database it is empty (I mean default values). >From what I understood kbd-chooser ask keyboard layout question and translate its results to console-setup debconf values, then console-setup-udeb propagates them to the target system. auto-install udeb do something similar as my patch does. It depends on console-setup-udeb and explicitly calls its postinst. > Depending on console-setup-udeb is just a > convoluted way to fix things, as I guess what its postinst does to fix > this in your case is just doing what console-setup is supposed to be > doing in the installed system, already... This is probably true. My patch seems hackish even to me although it works, I hope that someone with a deeper understanding of debian-installer internals could provide a cleaner fix if possible. Anyway this fix is better than having an user unable to have its keyboard supported at all. -- ESC:wq -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
