de_CH picked up as us

Could you please grab http://people.ubuntu.com/~daniels/detect-keyboard.sh, and run:
chmod +x detect-keyboard.sh
sudo $(pwd)/detect-keyboard.sh

aye-aye sir:

$ sudo $(pwd)/detect-keyboard.sh
layout is us
rules are xorg
model is pc104
options are
$

Could you please add this to right underneath the DI_KEYMAP="$RET" line:
  echo "tuple is $DI_KEYMAP--$REALLANG"
and send me the output from that?

tuple is sg-latin1--en_US

I can confirm this bug. I also chose Language->English, Location->Switzerland
and Keyboard->SwissGerman during installation.

But please note, I have slightly different findings on the console. They are:

$ sudo $(pwd)/detect-keyboard.sh
layout is gb
rules are xorg
model is pc104
options are

Strangely, the shellscript detects a English-british layout, even though
xorg.conf contains "us".

$ DI_KEYMAP="$RET"
$ echo "tuple is $DI_KEYMAP--$REALLANG"
tuple is --

BTW, tested on Breezy-preview.

Breezy: As of 2005-10-01, it seems like "ch" is the right layout, and not
"de_CH". I have been running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to see if it now gets
it right automatically, but then my old setting of de_CH is stuck somewhere even
if I answer Yes to the "the keyboard layout to be redetected" question.

The detect-keyboard.sh results are the same as in comment 2 and 4, except pc105
instead of pc104. pc105 is better, but in my case "presario" is probably the
best (Presario 700 laptop).

As of Breezy Release Candidate, I still have the problem reported originally.

phillipp, could you please send the debug information from comments #1, #2, and #3?

Hi Daniel, here we go:

$ sudo ./detect-keyboard.sh
Password:
layout is us
rules are xorg
model is pc104
options are

$ DI_KEYMAP="$RET"
$ echo "tuple is $DI_KEYMAP--$REALLANG"
tuple is --

(on Breezy RC, fresh install, i386)

With Breezy RC, I get this, pretty much like before:

tuple is sg-latin1--en_US
layout is us
rules are xorg
model is pc104
options are

Philipp, you have to put that "tuple is" line inside the script.

Hey Tormod, thanks for pointing that out... I corrected the script now.

I get the same results:

tuple is sg-latin1--en_US
layout is us
rules are xorg
model is pc104
options are

I can confirm that this has been fixed in Breezy final. Thanks a lot ! Greetings

Unfortunately, the problem is back in Dapper Drake Flight-2 !

Running this in Dapper Flight-2:

$ sh detect-keyboard.sh
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
detect-keyboard.sh: line 11: debug_report_status: command not found
tuple is 10 debian-installer/keymap doesn't exist--en_US
layout is us
rules are xorg
model is pc104
options are

tormod: you need to run it with sudo.

i have a rough idea of what I think has happened, but unfortunately our
illustrious installer dude is on holidays, so it probably won't get sorted 'till
the new year.

It was the same output using "sudo", except for the passwords things.

Just for the record, this is working fine again in dapper flight 4.
