(Get the code!)
I experienced nearly the same bug, but I did a fresh install of Jaunty.
I used the LiveCD installer. When I had to choose the keyboard layout I kept the proposed value (german) = the new feature in Jaunty when a keyboard layout automatically proposed.
When I first booted from hard disk I was unable to login because the keyboard layout had switched zo us. (I had to test my password in the field "username" to realize why the login didn't work)
I used the workaround described above to change "console-setup".
Below is the /etc/default/
# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT=""
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
I applied the following changes:
XKBLAYOUT="de"
The machine is a HP-laptop XT1000
quite old but 7.10 and 8.04 worked (different windows managers recommended)
