Remove English keyboard layout from preseed installation

[Schlomo Schapiro]

Using network booted preseed installation with the following lines to configure keyboard:

d-i console-setup/ask_detect false
d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de
d-i keyboard-configuration/layout select German
d-i keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105

The problem is that after the installation there is a German and also an English keyboard configured, see attached screenshot.

The /etc/default/keyboard file contains:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"

BUT gsettings shows this:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
[('xkb', 'de'), ('xkb', 'us')]

I did not touch the X configuration. X log files also don't show anything, only that de keyboard was set for evdev.

Please advice how to get rid of English keyboard if I configure German keyboard.

What kernel options did you pass when initiating the network boot?

Changing this to debian-installer.

[Schlomo Schapiro (sschapiro)]

The kernel options are:

biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 ipv6.disable=1 auto-install/enable=true debconf/priority=critical vga=791 preseed/url=http://jschule.github.io/ubuntu/preseed/jts.txt

BTW, doing a "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" and selecting German did not get rid of the English keyboard.

Little update: I added the keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=de parameter to the preseed boot kernel command line and got a little bit different result:

1. In lightdm there is only the German keyboard.
2. In a freshly created user there is Germand and English keyboard. That user did not have any home directory before.

The content of /etc/default/keyboard did not change.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
