ubiquity: can't set Russian keyboard layout #149

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

When the default Russian keyboard layout is installed, then after rebooting it changes to English and it is not possible to select the default Russian keyboard layout after rebooting everything changes exactly to English

I can reproduce the issue in ubiquity.

I can set the layout to russian in Cinnamon:

That works well.

There is no visual interface to set the system keyboard. To do so, you need to edit:

/etc/default/keyboard

OK, confirmed this is upstream, it happens in Ubuntu 20.04 also.

I'm going to move this to ubiquity and we'll get that fixed in Mint 20.1. I want to redesign the keyboard selection in Ubiquity and make it work differently. Right now, it's trying to match what you see on the screen with a list of translated names it gets from console-setups/keyboard-configuration. It's a huge mess.

I'd like it to source proper keyboard layout codes and names directly by itself and reflect the selection no matter what, without relying on console-setup. We'll tackle this in the next dev cycle (it's not a small task).

Added to trello for 20.1.
