Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I installed from the Alpha 3 Desktop CD, and selected the Dvorak keyboard layout during the livecd boot. The layout stuck for the installer, and was autoselected at the installer's keyboard layout screen, but when the installed system was booted for the first time, neither GDM nor the logged-in system was set to Dvorak.

...wow, I was about to re-report the bug, used almost identical terms for the summary, and then was surprised to find that it was reported with nearly the same summary word-for-word, by me. Anyway -- is any work being done on this?

I have installed Ubuntu Karmic beta from Live (desktop) CD. I have chosen "Russia" as the country and "Russian" as keyboard layout.

Installation process was completed successfully.

After reboot I was not able to switch to russian keyboard layout. I have added Gnome keyboard applet and I have noticed that there is only one keyboard layout - "USA".

When I have added "Russian" manually, the switching from "USA" to "Rus" works well.

So installation process lacks step of adding selected layout.
