Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
It’s no serious bug but still a bit annoying – the ‘detect keyboard layout’ option in ubiquity present on the Live CD of Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 doesn’t work 100% correctly: I’ve got a Swiss-French keyboard layout (please see [1] for the difference between Swiss-German and Swiss-French keyboard layouts). The suggested keyboard layout in ubiquity (step 3 of 7) is ‘France - Autre’. Because this is not the right layout, I’ve chosen ‘Détecter la disposition du clavier’ (detect keyboard layout). There I’ve typed following keys: u, w, z (on an US keyboard: u, w, y) Then I was asked if the letter ‘ö’ is present on my keyboard. I pressed ‘oui’ (yes) because it is. Now I had to type this letter which I can reach with [⇧] + [é] ([shift] + [é], on US keyboard [⇧] + [:] I think). Finally I was asked if the letter ‘é’ is present on my keyboard. It is, so I pressed ‘oui’ again. The programme now showed me that it has chosen the ‘Suisse’ (Swiss) keyboard layout. As I remarked while testing the keyboard in the box below, the detected layout is the Swiss-German layout and not the Swiss-French keyboard! So I had to correct this mistake manually. In addition it is a bit strange that ‘Suisse’ refers to the Swiss-German layout while the Swiss-French layout is called ‘Suisse - Français’ (Swiss-French). It would be more obvious if the option ‘Suisse’ (Swiss) would be called ‘Suisse - German’ (Swiss-German). __________ 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Switzerland_.28German.2C_French.2C_Italian.29.2C_Liechtenstein.2C_Luxembourg ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity It’s no serious bug but still a bit annoying – the ‘detect keyboard layout’ option in ubiquity present on the Live CD of Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 doesn’t work 100% correctly: I’ve got a Swiss-French keyboard layout (please see [1] for the difference between Swiss-German and Swiss-French keyboard layouts).
