Arabic login screen doesn't write Arabic

[Osama Khalid]

I have downloaded an alternate CD of last Ubuntu 8.04 bata version (As of 31-3-08) "ubuntu-8.04-beta-alternate-i386.iso", I selected Arabic interface, but it didn't ask me about which keyboard I want to use. It asked me about the username and the password, I could enter inputs in English by switching using left "Shift+Alt".

When Ubuntu boots without CD, it's asking me about the username (Which is must be in English letters) but I can't insert any letter in English even using left "Shift+Alt".

This problem wasn't with me only, I have asked one of Arabain Ubuntu's users, he told me that he has seen this bug before, and he can't fix it.

Well, sorry. The title must be Arabic login screen doesn't write *English*.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

You mean Ubuntu 8.10, do not you?

Sounds as if it's still a problem. console-setup is the component that configures this stuff.
