[Bug 1917810] Re: Setup for raspberry image is broken

[Roman Zabaluev]

Thank you Dimitri for the answer.

1. It's really weird it has saved it after the first boot and even kept
in the system after the install. It wasn't even possible to change that.

2. No I didn't get it until I had to open language preferences, "manage
installed languages" button opened an other window which prompted me to
install some stuff. I did, but couldn't change the language anyway.
After that I accepted some other updates (I guess apt upgrade) which
required a reboot, after that I got russian without altering any other
settings.

3. That's really sad. I haven't set up the desktop ubuntu for years, so
I thought that's just the raspberry pi version is broken. If that's a
known thing, why there's no fix?

6. It finally changed to russian as I described in p. 2. But it's really
frustrating for people who don't know english to perform such an
install.

  Setup for raspberry image is broken

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'd like to report a few serious and annoying bugs I encountered
  during a fresh setup of the image for raspberry pi (20.10).

  I'll report them all in this single bug, please decompose them as I
  don't know which project should I create them in.

  1. First of all, I've powered up my pi, plugged in a 4K display,
  decided to go with FHD for the setup, unplugged it, powered it off,
  turned on with FHD display but the resolution just kept being 4k. I
  had to suffer during the setup process and couldn't alter it.

  2. Secondly, on the first step you select the language. Let's say I
  picked russian. The setup window picked the language up, but after the
  installation desktop environment was in english. Duh.

  3. On the second step where you select the keyboard layout, you can't
  change the layout for some reason. There's an input field to try out
  your layout, but the only thing you can try out is english layout. I
  tried every possible combination (super+space, alt+shift, ctrl+shift,
  super+shift+space), doesn't work.

  4. Refresh rate was set up as 29,97 for some reason. The display has
  144 available (first one with 4k had 60).

  5. After setup completion, there was a weird window ('ready to go').
  It says "you can use 'software' to install apps like these". And a button "open 'software' now". The list of apps didn't load, probably because I haven't connected to wifi during the setup. But what's the "software"? 

  6. Tried to change the language after the setup, clicking on 'russian'
  and pressing 'apply' doesn't work. It keeps english.

  These 'user friendly' behaviour is unbearable, that's not even
  possible to install it if you don't know english.
