[Bug 1510864] [NEW] grub does not load german keyboard setting

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

grub does not set the settings for german keyboards.


reason 1)

in /etc/grub.d/00_header there's

grub_lang=`echo $LANG | cut -d . -f 1`
...
  set lang=${grub_lang}


which results in

  set lang=de_DE

while the language file is named

  /boot/grub/locale/de.mo


reason 2)
However, even changing grub.cfg to set lang=de  or making a copy of de.mo to de_DE.mo does  not help, keyboard settings remain US.
