Mythbuntu installation overwrites keyboard selection

[Tom Inglis]

I chose United Kingdom for my 105 key keyboard when installing Mythbuntu 7.10 through the graphical installer on the CD. When the OS is installed it copies 'us' into the xorg.conf file, and so this needs to be manually changed to 'gb'.

This may be because during the installation options, I selected to install the proprietory nvidia-new driver?

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Added Mythbuntu

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Yes it is because of how the nvidia-new driver gets installed. Addressing it will be a bit messy. Can you make sure that the existing xorg.conf works correctly (upon boot) assuming you choose it at the boot menu.

Does this still happen with Mythbuntu 8.04 or 8.10 (Alpha)?

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

Not an ubuntu bug.

[Simon Harrison (simon-harrison1)]

Still happens with 8.04.1 - not tried 8.1 yet...

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.10.7

---------------
ubiquity (1.10.7) intrepid; urgency=low

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Use Oxygen style in KDE UI

  [ Andreas Wenning ]
  * Edit ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py to correctly open the url for
    release notes.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Pack the table containing the partition bars in a scrolled window
    (LP: #272318).
  * Remove broken CD-ROM entries from fstab after install (LP: #150872).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.37ubuntu6, base-installer 1.86ubuntu7, kboot-installer
    0.0.1ubuntu7, user-setup 1.20ubuntu10.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Add above broken CD-ROM entries to mythbuntu frontend too.
  * Properly pre-setup database on mythbuntu frontend. (LP: #276904)
  * Simplify the xorg.conf that is written out in apply-drivers. (LP: #181564)
    The ideal situation is to enable these via Jockey, but Jockey doesn't
    have a good interface for turning on during installation and turning
    on and off tv-out.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix excessive file-copy blacklisting, which had several problems
    (LP: #285238):
    - wasn't deciding which language packs to use before generating the
      blacklist;
    - was filtering out packages with prerms before doing ok-to-remove
      calculations;
    - needed to try recursively removing broken packages in order to get a
      fully-expanded list of reverse-dependencies out of apt;
    - was removing packages from the difference list too early so they
      stopped being considered as packages that were allowed to be removed.
    In an attempt to make this rather large change a little more reviewable,
    note that the code used to analyse removals while generating the
    blacklist is now the same as that used to remove unused packages later
    in the installation process.
