[Bug 1946577] Re: In live-session, keyboard mapping does not match the chosen language [ FR ] [ impish ]

[InfoLibre]

Now, there are regional settings for french keyboard in Ubiquity. But by default, French-French (legacy, alt) keyboard is selected. French-French (AZERTY) should be better. You can write ²¤ to test it.

Title:
  In live-session, keyboard mapping does not match the chosen language [
  FR ] [ impish ]

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Impish is on a ventoy USB thumb ( Budgie flavor ).

  Live session boots fine, offering choice between « try » and « install
  ».

  I chose my language ( french ) and click « try ».

  The live session reads in French BUT the keyboard is QWERTY where I
  expected AZERTY.

  Actually French ( France ) and their matching regional settings are
  missing in gnome-language-selector.

  Once you installed your language from there, set it first in the list
  and apply regional settings for whole system, then after logout /
  login, the key mapping is finally correct.

  Not very friendly ;-)
  But to be honest, not new : I already had that surprise in previous trials with Xubuntu, Budgie, 18.04 and 20.04.

  And this does not happen on « official » Ubuntu version - where AZERTY
  mapping is set out of the box when French has been chosen.
