Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
SUMMARY: While installing Ubuntu, on Step 3 we can choose a keyboard layout.
The layout names are localised by the package xkeyboard-config).
If on Step 1 we chose a language such as Russian, Greek, French,
then those layout names on Step 3 appear as in the screenshots (UTF-8 text shown as ??????).
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1. Get either Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1 or the daily live ISO (tried lucid-desktop-
2. Start the LiveCD and go into the installer.
3. On Step 1, select the Greek language (Russian, etc work as well).
Any language that translated xkeyboard-config and the script has characters other than US ASCII).
See http://
4. On Step 3, notice the layout names. You may select Custom and go through the layout and variant lists.
5. Instead of showing UTF-8 text, ubiquity read the names as if the encoding was US ASCII (7-bit), thus the ? character appears.
In addition, one of the screenshots below shows that layout list gets corrupted with system directories names.
