ubiquity forgets the set keymap

[Duncan Lithgow]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installing Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) to a virtual machine I go through the installer and tell it what my keyboard is. Testing my keys in the little text box shows they are working as set (Danish). But the next time the installer asks for text input (no manual partitioning) it is back to US keyboard. Sure enough if I click my way back to the keyboard setting it has the correct selection but in the textbox I can see it is not in force. So I reselect it and start the cycle again. Now, in the finally installed Lucid my keyboard is still set to USA. (I have no trouble fixing this under 'System > Preferences > Keyboard')

I can now see that I have ubiquity 2.1.14 (I updated the installer before running it). The log files 'media-info', 'version' and 'casper.log' didn't have anything useful. Hopefully this helps.

When logged into this virtual machine just now it was again set to USA keyboard map. I had deleted the USA keyboard config and added the danish - the danish is still there but USA has come back and was set as primary/default when I logged in.

This is still happening each time I log in, so this is not (only) a ubiquity bug.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 513018

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
