[Bug 627540] Re: Auto detect keyboard during install fails for Spanish keyboards

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the
development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you
could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next
release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release
at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your
help.

Title:
  Auto detect keyboard during install fails for Spanish keyboards

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce this error:
  1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on any computer with a Spanish keyboard.
  2. When the keyboard detection screen appears try to type the accented 'a' character (á). This is, first press the accent key and then press the a letter in the keyboard for testing the keyboard.

  Desired output:
  The box should display an accented 'a' character (á).

  Current output.
  The box displays an apostroph an an'a' character ('a).

  Workaround:
  If you choose to select manually the keyboard settings, you just have to select any keyboard layout and then choose again the auto detect keyboard layout. Then, the keyboard would work correctly.

  Please note that the keyboard layout selected by default is actually
  correct. However, it does not seem to work correctly in the text box
  for testing it.

  Description:	Ubuntu 10.
  Release:	10.04
