[Bug 1892040] Re: US keyboard layout even if a non english language is selected in ubiquity-dm

[Brian Murray]

Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/20.04.15.4 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  US keyboard layout even if a non english language is selected in
  ubiquity-dm

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubiquity source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Last known good version: 20.04
  This regression appeared in 20.04.1 and 20.10. We have fixed it for groovy on release week and it's time to backport the fix for 20.04.2. Without the fix users using the installer live session won't have correct keyboard layout, per the default for a given language.

  [Test Case]

  1. Boot to ubiquity-dm
  2. In the list of languages select 'French'
  3. Boot to the live session

  = Expected result =
   * Verify that there is a keyboard indicator in the indicator area and that 'fr' is displayed
   * Open a terminal, press the 'a' key and verify that 'a' is displayed in the terminal.

  = Actual result =
  There is no keyboard indicator.
  The keyboard layout is 'US' instead of FR.

  [Where problems could occur]

  It's hard to say. Since this SRU is modifying gsettings keys, I think
  any regressions might most likely be happening in relation of that.
  But sadly I can't think of any obvious scenario that could be broken.
