Hi,

I have a strange issue with the installer: if I start an English
LiveCD session, then try to install a Russian version of Lubuntu, the
installer displays "???????" strings on the keyboard layout selection
screen (see attached screenshot). I type some (Latin) chars into the
test box and click "Next" without changing anything else. After I
click through to screen #6 (user information), I cannot proceed since
the keyboard is somehow blocked: no alphanumeric keys work at all.
However, something else works: space, enter, arrows, ins, home, end,
del, pageup, pagedown, "|" and "\" (same key with and without Shift),
maybe something else (don't know how to test Ctrl, Alt, Esc,
functionals, etc.)

Installing a Russian version from a Russian LiveCD session works fine.
Selecting German or some Indian layout (line #8 from the bottom of the
list) works in an English LiveCD session. ("Works" means it does not
lock the keyboard, I didn't run any installation to the end so far.)

Selecting Greek l11n from an English LiveCD session yields those
"??????" lines, but does not lock the keyboard.

I understand this can be the "base" Ubuntu issue, but currently I have
no time to download the daily iso and play with it, sorry. Hopefully
someone else can do it...

Sincerely,
Mikhail Maksimov

PS There're also some annoying ureadahead error messages during the
boot, but those don't seem to be harmful. I have also seen such
messages when I tested 20100215 iso on a physical machine. I think
someone else mentioned those here on the list, too.
